Sideshow Premium Art Prints

[VS1976]

Just ordered the Powergirl print. Love Kendrick?s work. Have all of his ssc prints so far. Will definitely get the Punchline print too.

So Im trying to sell the original Justice League Trinity (3) and the original CotD prints at 275-300 ea but not getting any bites. Do I have these too high or is it just bad timing?

Timed print from Grey Matter Art going up tomorrow and available through the weekend.

14x32 and $50 each or $90 for the pair. Metallic option for $65.

Very sneaky for Grey Matter Art selling these same art prints for $65 each for 275 ES in their website a week ago, then after it sold out, went to Sideshow and sell the exact same prints but for higher price at $100 for another 225 ES. Its the exact same paper material, so whats the point of being limited edition then?

To be honest most SS prints don't do well on the secondary market. There are definitely exceptions (Artgerm prints, Batman Rogues print...) but the majority decrease in value. I'd say unframed prints do better as well. I'd much rather buy unframed prints for cheaper (unless it is a print I really really like). Shipping framed prints cost more as well.

I don't think these 3 prints are that in demand. You'd need to drastically cut down the prices imo if you are looking to sell fast. Good luck.

It's part of the same run. GMA just allocates a certain number to Sideshow. The numbers you have are different because there are two different versions of the prints.

The regular non-foil version has an ES of 275.
The foil version is 225.

(Sideshow has the silver metallic foil version).

As someone who has been flipping art for awhile, giclees rarely sell for what you paid for. Screenprints are what you want. Mondo posters from late 00s, early to mid 10's are a good example. The only guy whose making a profit not doing screenprints on the secondary market is James Jean. If you bought a fine art print from sideshow you better love it because you're not getting $300 a piece.

Agree 100%. You don't even need to wait a year before screen prints go up in value. Heck I bought the newest BtAS prints from Mondo last week and they've already gone up in value. They are definitely a pain to get but cost less and have a lower ES. They also have that handmade look to them vs Giclees which are printed out.

Here are some newer screenprints from Mondo that I really like. The make about 200-250 of these and sell out within minutes.

Sorry GMA also sold the same silver metallic version at ES 225 for $65 and it sold out there, and now selling the same silver metallic at Sideshow at ES 225 but bumped the price at $100. How is it the same run when they sold out the first time, and why bumping up the price now. You mean SS is not really selling 225 but just the (hidden) leftover of the original 225 of GMA?

Yes. This is me making up numbers but you'll get the idea. GMA sells 210/225 and gives Sideshow 15/225. Sideshow marks up the price (this is a guess on my part) otherwise it'll show how overpriced their own prints are.

This is 100% what is going on. Sideshow only gets a few allocated to them. That is why the the GMA X-Men prints are already on waitlist...only a few were available through Sideshow. Just because GMA sold out doesn't mean they sold all of the 225.

Exactly.
