AnkurJ Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Panelfan1 said: anthony has a ton of art and is usually fair with pricing. the exception seems to be when he gets something he views as above average. he prices those things higher than they might otherwise be worth at the time. not coolyness level mind you -but not a quick flip item either. not sure if he still has it -but he was selling a cho avengers cover for 10k - unsold for years. then raised the price even higher. I'll agree his pricing is fair. This is just showing how quickly a piece was flipped from an artist, to a "collector", and then to a dealer. All within the same show. Is the piece really worth 33.3333333% more in that short period of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth 33% more after a few days, no of course not. I figured there was a good markup I was paying for and not the first time I've done it. I missed out as I didn't see the piece for sale by Frank in time and couldn't get out to Chicago for C2E2 anyway. I was looking for a good Cho piece in parallel to the right Spidey 800 cover. Maybe the fact they intersected saved me some overall money! (reaching justification ) The plan is to keep this one for a good long while so we'll see how the value plays out.

Reply Reply All Forward Matt Stock has at least 2 eBay accounts that he has been using for years - alternates between the 2, but is sloppy enough to sell art and Wacky Packages related its in both that it's obvious they are the same person. If you look at the account name history for both you see a pattern (of deception) where he changes his name ever so often to obscure who he is and what he's likely been shilling. I'm sure there are some other dummy accounts. Below are the eBay ID history for the old Make Mine Marvel account, and the the current kane-and-romita account that he's been alternating between.

MyNameIsLegion Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 So I saw this posted on eBay - and tried to research what card series it was from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/X-MEN-1990s-TRADING-CARDS-Original-Art-by-LEE-WEEKS-w-MAGNETO/332671376892?hash=item4d74c25dfc:g:pioAAOSwYK1bEYIZ there are two other auctions with a $200 BIN also, by Lee Weeks, that are mutant related- not bothering to post them because you can see all three together right here on Clink, where he bought it as ONE piece of art, which he has since cut into 3 pieces to sell each for what he paid for the original : http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsubsection.asp%3Fid%3D29668&id=1250648 im sorry , there’s a special place in hell for this guy. He can’t even ID the cards, which means they may have been intended to be one piece- I know I recognize at least one of the three. They may have been insets on the back of some cards. Whatever, the original got chopped up, and that’s not cool at all. John E., Kohei and dirtymartini1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
