Odds and Ends

It’s not original art though… it’s description says it’s giclee canvas, which is reproduction art. I wouldn’t pay over $50 probably…

It’s only 24x16" as well… that’s not that big. You could probably find a high resolution photo of this yourself and get it just as nicely done for way cheap.

Yep. But these are official low print run prints on canvas with a COA. Makes them more valuable than a random self print job. In theory. But if you want it just for the art, yep. There are cheaper options.

If I can make a profit off it maybe.

Yeah, that’s my thing as well. Reproductions of art with litho’s are so hit or miss. I think with Comic Artwork, I’d rather just own originals over reproductions.

Ha. I prefer printing off images and saving money. Or saving them to my desktop.

Here’s the COA I got with my Dan Mora ABM exclusives. Printed on cheap paper, one sided, easily replicated. Even if they did sign it, it does not prove or do anything.

Unless a COA is part of the item (e.g., physically embedded into the back of a canvas)., it really serves no value. They’re just gimmicks.

/end COA rant.

Personally, I’ve felt COAs generally are not worth the paper they’re printed on in many situations. Even when you have fancy tech to verify stuff like CGC with their authentication, I dunno, scams are possible. One reason I never really collect signed comics unless it is something I had signed for myself. I’ve had some cheap little comics signed by folks for fun.

Back when I did signing opportunities on the main site, I would make my own COA’s.

I might have to do that for books I get signed at NYCC to flip, lol!

Why not, if it makes the sale or gets a few extra $$$. You’re certifying that you witnessed it. No different than including an invoice.

Anyone want to buy in? You can go from hating Walking Dead reprints to loving them!!! :slight_smile:

No thank you!!! There’s no guarantee this company will ever go public and you might never see that money ever again or at least make anything from your “loan” you provided them if they return the money (if they return). I know their FAQ says investments are returned but there’s probably some fine print that says otherwise under a lot of different scenarios or circumstances.

I like the comparison to Marvel, Star Wars, and Pokemon. :rofl:

They certainly make it seem like they did all the leg work too for their IP… without the actual studios picking them up and actually bringing them to the masses… they still depend too much on Amazon, AMC and a lot of others.

Yep, that’s why TWD made $10 Billion and Skybound is only valued at $700 Million. Lots of hands in that pie, and they still have to raise money regularly through offerings. That’s kind of sad in a way.

What a cash grab. No thanks.

Looks like I sold a comic overnight to inker extraordinaire Terry Austin. That’s pretty cool!

It’s always fun to sell to a “celebrity.”

Has happened a few times for me as well.

I sold to one of the lead animators on Simpsons. Sold stuff to some Hollywood producer. Also sold to a comic creator buying his own book. That was odd. Joe Casey bought his book from me.

I sold a marvel zombies Suydam variant to Arthur Suydam once.

My coolest eBay sale was selling some books to Jonboy Meyers on eBay. Bought several copies of the justice league vs Godzilla vs Kong cover he did from me for a con he was attending.
