Bob :if only we could trade first borns for sk collectibles. :sigh:

Long live the barter transaction. There is more ´Stuff´ for trading action:
Not that important organs, the soul.....

[Brice]

Brice - I was just thinking - if I traded my first born, would my second born then become my new first born and eligible for trade!

just thinking- not considering - really! ;-)

Sadly in order for second borns, etc. to become first borns there has to be total elimination of first borns. One example of this would be say I traded my nonexistent first born for a nifty new SK collectible and then my First born were sacrificed to/for whatever. In this instance my nonexistent second born becomes my nonexistent first born and thus eligible for trade for the next nifty new collectible. This goes on ad infinitum.Unfortunately there's never really been much of a market for second borns though. This could be a new niche. There is opportunity here.

Oh, though I tend toward the agnostic side I've bartered for many souls. They make great bargaining chips...just in case. As for organs I prefer to trade those of others more than my own.

FWIW, In my family there is three generations of first born male children, all named William Bender and a fourth on the way. Hopefully, my boy put the stem on the apple!!! LOL I'm thinking about forgoing the "Jr" and going to "II". What do you folks think?

I think it's a question for the Random Comments thread..

[tippy4]

Hey AKC....could you take a better picture of OY and send it to tomas@stephenkingcollector.com ?

I was never happy with the picture I took and sent him when I had it in my possession.

DAMERON REMARQUES

As you can see...it's kind of blurry.

[AKC]

Will do Rick!

[DungeonDeb]

P.S. So sorry about the horrible picture quality!

[Randall Flagg]

You didn't receive a response because you are:

• New here and no one knows you, therefore any prospective buyer is reticent to send you $700.
• Your prices are too high-including the Jae Lee art.
• The double book is a novelty-not (IMO) worth $10

[divemaster]

Well, in her defense, in the appraisal thread she asked for value estimates b/c she didn't know. She didn't receive any responses and she still doesn't know (admitted in her post) so she took a guess here in this thread. I was kindof hoping someone would help her out. (I know nothing at all about proofs and drawings, so I'm no help on that end.)

[scstandpipe]

...yeah getting no responses had nothing to do with her being new or receiving money; that was about pricing. Yes, the prices are too high, but that's why she said to PM her for offers ...I would gladly help out, but pricing ARCs, etc. for me is like reading Korean

[Shannon]

I don't think the prices are that high. It comes out to about $100 per proof/ARC. I don't know how the comic book process works, if they are just pencil sketches not used in the actual comic book, then the prices are a little high I would think. But if they were "comic-used" then I think they are a decent starting amount. And if I saw the fused book at a garage sale for $10, I think I would buy it. Online, it's a little harder, because $10 becomes $15 due to shipping.

As far as sending an unknown person a lot of money, I would do mulitple transactions. That way, the most I'd lose is $100.

[Brice]

I'm clueless about that stuff myself. If I had money I'd at best pay twenty or thirty for the double book, but I tend to like weird quirky items.

I think I spent about thirty for my special reading copy of DTII a year or two back. I don't really keep records of what i buy stuff for though. The others should be higher I think, but I don't know how much.

[oy-the-brave]

I don't know how the comic book process works, if they are just pencil sketches not used in the actual comic book, then the prices are a little high I would think. But if they were "comic-used" then I think they are a decent starting amount. .

These are the actual pages Jae Lee drew and then were painted by Richard Isanove so definately used in the actual production of the comic.

I don't know for sure but the price was probably 350.00 - 400.00 originaly from Albert Moy, they have not sold on Ebay for 250.00 - 400.00 the listed starting bid in several auctions in the last month, being lesser pages I would guess that the would sell currently for about 200.00 each.

Wow. Of everyone I've met here, you're the only one who has made me feel ignorant, ashamed of my ignorance, and unwelcome.

Thank you so much, everyone who reiterated that I did, indeed, try to get my items appraised in the proper forum before dragging them out here and flinging crazy numbers at them. I appreciate everybody's input, because if there's anyone who knows what I've got (and what it's worth), it's the people who live and breathe Stephen King.

Yes, the Jae Lee pieces are comic-used, and no, they aren't selling very well on eBay. Now that I have a ballpark figure for their worth (thank you, thank you), I hope that changes!

As far as sending a random stranger $700, this is probably my ignorance speaking again, but I just assumed any deals made here would be consummated on eBay, where I AM known, and where I have tons of feedback to prove that I do, in fact, own and ship what I sell (please see eBay ID link in profile...I think I did that part right).

Oy, if these were the original sketches that were then painted over, wouldn't they be in color? Or maybe comic book artists use some kind of carbon copy sheet when they draw? And I see where you're going with the pricing, and I've bought SK artwork but not comic book art before, but $200 seems really low for something "comic-used", no? If that's what they were worth, I would still put up a larger price and keep my fingers crossed.

Deb, don't feel too offended by Randall Flagg's post. He's like that sometimes. But (shocker, I know, lol) he's a good guy. Blunt, opinionated, and he smells, but a good guy. And he looks out for the people in the group by making sure tell them to be careful when making money transcations with people they don't know. In the end, it's all good. For every Randall Flagg, there's a Shannon.

[Brice]

Oy or Wiz would be the people I'd have asked re the comic sheets.

...and no shannon, they wouldn't be in color. Quite a lot of these were sold early on in the comic's history.

[Shannon]

Found it on Wikipedia. "The inker usually works directly over the penciller's pencil marks, though occasionally pages are inked on translucent paper, such as drafting vellum, preserving the original pencils."

So, with THAT being said, technically the comic book pages AREN'T "comic-used" but more of a study, if they were painted over, right?

[Brice]

I honestly don't know. I thought they were colored and then used. Most anyone could tell you more than me about comics. I just have a small box full of them.

[WeDealInLead]

Nope. Comics work this way: sketch/study, (original) pencils, inking, colouring, lettering.

What you see here are the original pencils before they were inked. Study is something the artist submits to the author for approval or to get a feel for the characters. Think of THESE pencils as the final manuscript that King submits to the publisher. The publisher will adjust the font, layout, add illustrations etc but it's King's final manuscript it's all about. I'd say these original pencils are the equivalent of having a signed copy of the final manuscript. So yes, these were used in a comic, with added inks, colour and lettering but they're not just a study.

[Shannon]

I get that. But unless there is some kind of "layer" that goes over the penciling "layer", or maybe if the pencils were scanned into a computer and then printed out for the inker, if the inker inked/colored onto these pages, they would be in ink/color. I think I'm missing something, lol
