It is of my opinion that the commissioning price of a intricately detailed sketch by a published artist could very well be $100 per piece. Perhaps he got a bulk deal. Who knows. Glen, BadPenny, and TwistedNadine do.

Comic artists sketching at cons that are moderately famous, published, and currently working often charge a similar rate just to do a one figure con sketch.

Bigger artists can charge up to $500 and people pay it all day long.

Collectibles is sure an interesting mania.
