      @@nickm138 that fellow gets praise and then the x-men #1 worshippers and key-hunting snobs make jokes and put him down as a pinup guy, they miss or don't embrace the art collection angle I guess. But let me say it here and now as to why that guy deserves this run on his books and MORE - his art, to me, parallels the art I see in the original snow white and superman cartoons, and yes he took forever to get his work out becuase he wanted it perfect. Heck to prove it - the fellow's style was invested by DISNEY in giving him the Rocketeer movie. The Rocketeer seems draw some inspiration from Planet Comics, and to that we see he brought back the admiration of his and the true masters from the Golden Era Comics - those were all the true masters. Dave, Frank Thorne, Art Adams, pushed it forward and others did too - but how many late 70's early 80's artists modern and past, drew a character in a comic book and story that got picked up into a Disney Movie? Sure the past 15 years many get optioned but after the Toby Spiderman's it became more commonplace to RESPECT comics as what they are - movies as True Storyboards (which Dave also did some for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, a few pages and work for Star Wars - pretty illustrious) Dave Stevens deserves to be more than a pinup flash because of his timeless talent and perfect illustration capturing the real and the illustration mixed which makes all of our eyes lock in and try to see if what we are looking at is/was real. A true artist whose work respects the Golden Age and the Female Hero. RIP.

    • @pop-comics
      @pop-comics  3 місяці тому +2

      Its hard to start because people do not know they can trust you or what is in the bag etc. Also starting high makes people feel like its not a deal even if it was a deal etc. Now I know starting at $1 is very risky and scary as well. Where the packs ones you are chasing winners or you had the value pretty easily distributed? If the values were pretty distributed to $200-300 a pack I might try a show where you just show the pile of books and start at $75 you might get bids that way. Or try showing 1 book the rest mystery, and then maybe flipping a book each bid or something like that. Mystery packs are hard, I know I never buy them unless I really trust the seller and know what they have in their packs.

      He is a lifelong vendor and not so much a collector so for him this is collection overstock. AKA stuff that has accumulated over the years buying and selling. He buys so much stuff it overflows like crazy but he also sells so much stuff.
