I'm really impressed with the "after" results.  I know it's something that they discussed during the chat, but it's amazing how much the title, logos, etc. add to certain pieces.

Tonight at 9 PM EST, 6 PM PAC.

Comic Art Collector Paul Aguila has been collecting for 8 years, going through an accelerated learning curve when it’s comes to the hobby like many new collectors do. He can recall being scared to pull trigger on a $300 piece and now he's starting to look at much higher ticket items. In his short time as an original comic art collector he's had over 2,000 pieces in his possession. Tonight we'll learn how he got started collecting comic art, and because of his varied tastes in artists and time periods, what gets him to pull the trigger on a purchase.

I could throw snark all over this, but I won't, instead looking forward to this

Thanks vodou.  I sincerely appreciate it man.  I accepted the gracious invitation because it sounds like fun.  I have a lot of respect for the hosts and the show and am honored to spend time with them.  I’m happy to share some of my experiences with my fellow collectors.  I’m a little nervous and expect some teasing and light jabs so hoping my collecting buds don’t hit me too hard

Join Bill Cox, Mike Burkey, Glen Brunswick and Will Gabri-El this evening at 9PM EST while we chat with Collector and Comic Art Rep Dave Wilkins. Dave has been a fan of the green giant for many years and has run a blog since 2012 about all things HULK (https://thejadegiant.wordpress.com/). Dave took the plunge a little over a year ago to represent artist Joe Bennett and his Immortal Hulk original art sales , so he'll have a unique perspective on the original comic art scene. We'll also show off some of pretty incredible HULK covers (pun intended!) in the collection of one of our Panelists!

Thank you! I hope the beginning wasn't too bad. My connection was terrible and I couldn't even hear them. Was much better after I rebooted.

I was really shocked to find out @JadeGiant is a Caucasian! 😜

 

great pieces guys! Thanks for sharing.

Very enjoyable. Wish I could have watched it live but stuck at work. Love seeing all the Hulk covers.

George has always been a comic fan and collector and in 1976 he was part of the team that started the Chicago Comicon until it was bought by Wizard World, and he is also a member of the CFA-APA (Comic and Fantasy Art Collectors Amateur Press Association).

In a hobby with more than its fair share of interesting folks, George has always struck me as one of the most interesting, so I'm definitely looking forward to tonight's panel with him.

George has helped me acquire a few nice additions to my collection.  I've never chatted with him so I learned a lot from him from this CAF video.  However, a main takeaway from this video is "exit strategy". 

As mentioned in the video, George can make a return appearance to discuss paper acidity and whatever he likes.

I ended up breaking this one into two viewing sessions, and just finished it up today.  It was a great episode.  George comes across as that favorite uncle who has a house packed full of interesting things, each and every one of which he knows the history of.

Glen and Mike, definitely enjoy your post Heritage show. Quick thought is maybe each of you pick three or four pieces that might not have been top dollar sellers but you want to comment on (I know you did a little bit of that). Maybe even give some good insight why something might be a good buy or an anomaly price, or whatever.

I say that for a reason;

I looked back at a few of the last Heritage Auctions, and around 90% or more of the top selling pieces, never show up in anyone's CAF gallery. I would bet a lot more of the lesser price pieces do. And since this is a CAF show, I would think some of us would like to hear your unapologetic opinions on our purchases (well, maybe).

Lastly, I was the underbidder on the Schomburg Invaders page. Probably drove the price up a few grand (seemed that way). While it really only had one good panel, the fact that there are only seven comic art pages by Schomburg after 1951, makes it a rarity that in my mind, outweighs a ton of art (even from that time). Plenty of average covers go for more than that. I kind of like the idea of owning pieces that are rare. Unfortunately, this will not be one of those.

I loved that page and bid on it as well but dropped out much earlier. The panel with Torch was fantastic!

Another great episode. Surpised no mention of Albert's announcement he won the Art of John Buscema cover and would be bringing it to Comic Art Con. Will was pimping it already and he neglects to mention what Albert would bring to show (not sell).
