malvin Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 heh, as an art collector with a 3-year old, I shudder all the time thinking that one day he will discover my OA and start colouring them.. Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Sid Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 What's a safe big enough to accommodate 12x18 bristol set a guy back these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick2you2 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 There are actually some interesting questions raised by the OP. I've seen OA for sale before which has been partly colored in by kids or some other amateur. I saw one at the Big Apple Con this weekend. I would estimate it reduced the piece by 2/3rds in value or so (but I'm not too skilled at this sort of thing). So: (1) What do you think should be the impact on value? Is the piece ruined? What about just a little crayon like here? (2) Can Crayola be removed? What about other stuff? Can it be removed by an collector or does it need a restorer?

Flambit Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I always think of Avengers 198 when I think of badly colored/ruined pieces. I saw it in person around 2007 and it looks so much worse in person. It would definitely make me think twice about buying it if it were for sale. I wonder if one of those resto guys could work some magic on something like this. Rick2you2, Twanj and Doc McCoy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was one of my biggest art collecting fears as my kids were growing up. I always made sure my collection was stored well away from little fingers and crayons.

Aah the joy. Children can be wonderful. Look at the bright side. As least she presumably did not do with it what one of my kids used to draw on the walls--and I don't mean crayons.

I use a fireproof safe for the more valuable stuff, but have too much for it all to fit in there. It can't get too hot inside, even in a fire, and inside it I use a few silica gel desiccant packs that absorb moisture. You just need to change them out periodically, (cheap in bulk on Amazon) but they keep it moisture-free inside the safe. And the safe itself recommends that you open it at least once a month to refresh the air inside. Hope that info helps. My kids have destroyed all kinds of nice things of mine over the years, but thankfully never my art. I keep it up high and out of reach, or in a locked safe.
