Best of 2017: BUDGET EDITION - Discussion Thread 0

[BCarter27]

The dollar amount is fine, but let's keep it to one piece per post in order to level the playing field with everyone and, most importantly, so people know which piece they are voting for.

And you don't have to disclose your purchase price as long as it is under $300. We trust you! But if you want to state it, that's fine too. It gives new collectors an idea of how much things cost if they want to (hopefully) jump into this pool.

Added my favorites for each category!

I am enjoying this. Thanks for starting the thread.

Just put in my "likes" for the stuff currently posted.  

[BCarter27]

Some great pieces thus far. Keep 'em coming! We have through the weekend to post and vote.

Feel free to post your alts here... I want to encourage as many people as possible to jump into this so-called "rich man's hobby."

I thought we'd get a lot more convention pieces. Are prices over $300 now?!

Wow, just saw my Sam Kieth sketch has 8 votes! Probably because I was the first poster ha. I dropped a LIKE on quite a few pieces since there was so much great stuff. Some of you guys got incredible deals at under $300, I especially love the pieces by Stelfreeze and Runge.

I can only enter once and my entry has votes so I'll leave it (and I really, really like it). That said, here are my runner ups.

Maleficent by Walt Simonson (this is my wife's not mine, her character choice and it's a great choice)

 

Odin by Walt Simonson (wanted a character that is more visual than Thor and Odin has great hats!)

I think Maleficent might get a lot of votes, but I can't take my Pirate Ship down and she doesn't have an account here.

Someone should ask Walt to do a full body Galactus and Silver Surfer commission. It would probably be amazing.

[alxjhnsn]

You can ask. He's easy to find on FB, but he doesn't do commissions except for charity auctions and this dinner. For the dinner, it was limited to head shots though he'd do more as you can see in my wife's Maleficent (she got the dragon, too).

He even did one that was just Mjolner and it was way cool. Who knew.

one of my alternate choices was this TICK DPS from Douglas Paszkiewicz

Alternate - Deadly Class #1, page 23 by Wes Craig

This was $250 from Thom Zahler. It's my daughter and her husband and the date is the date of their wedding. Click the image to learn more about it including seeing the cover by Thom that it was based on.

Last day to post over in the BUDGET EDITION thread! C'mon people... don't be shy! Let's see what you got this year for "pocket change".

I might get busy with work tomorrow (Monday). So let's close the entries Monday morning and then close the voting Tuesday morning. I will put up the tally Tuesday night.

[alxjhnsn]

It’s a great thread!

[BCarter27]

Entries are closed. Many thanks to everyone who submitted!

If you haven't already, take a pass through the whole thread and put in your LIKES. I will leave it open for voting through tomorrow evening when I have time to tally the whole thread after work.

 

[BCarter27]

So, I waited until all entries were posted until I cast my own votes. This turned out to be a bad idea as I got slapped with a technical difficulty by the new board software. Apparently there is a limit to the number of likes you can leave in one day. So I will wait until tomorrow to tally the votes after I finish casting mine. I don't want to handicap anyone's entries because I couldn't vote for the back half of the thread.

(Next year, I will vote as I go. I've also asked the mods about this limit.)

So the end result is you have some more time to vote if you haven't already!
