Popular Post lotemo Posted October 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2018 I finally had the pleasure of meeting Andrew Pepoy in person. I've bought some of his Afterlife with Archie covers from him in the past but have only communicated with him via email. I purchased these pieces of original art from him at the show. His covers are 15x22 in size and are always beautiful in their detail. ADAMANTIUM, Logan510, shortboxed and 8 others 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's frowned upon, is trying to sell to customers. I wouldn't expect much for the books you are offering. Dealers generally like wall book candidates. It's relative, right? Those books are wall books for smaller vendors. It's the kind of stuff I can sell all day at the cons I attend! It takes dealers of all sorts and sizes to be able to please every kind of collector/reader. Not everyone is interested in 4 figure books and/or pre-80's books. That's why I love this hobby. Something for everyone! Edited October 6, 2018 by KEY ISSUES Comics shortboxed, williamhlawson and Hudson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little side comment about wall books was not the point of my post at all but it's what everybody has focused on. My point was these are not the types of books dealers will pay near retail for. At the last convention I attended, I brought a few high end slabs and some raw, midgrade Silver. Good stuff but not keys. I had no problem getting my asking prices for the high end slabs. I went back home with all but one of the midgrade raws. KEY ISSUES Comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This works for someone like you because you've had those books for 600 years..... typically that 10K book is going to cost 9500 where as the 10 dollar book may have been 4, so the margins are much nicer. It is more work involved, but the reward can be greater. I learned that the hard way a while back. GOD BLESS.... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Archive v Predator cover is especially drool worthy. KEY ISSUES Comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
