Who on the forum has the most extensive art collection? I know I've seen some doozies. Who's the Ron Lim fanatic again? Galactus? Monster? Furie?

The most extensive art collection would be Superhero, Gman, Monster or myself, I think.

I've got a pretty good start...

My wife bought me something for my b-day, I have no idea what, but it's probably close to $3000 (I paid the CC bill)...

Then there are all those giclee's and lithos I just bought from James at HFA, and there is a cover to the Losers I'm going to pick up eventually, but that's pretty cheap...

I mainly collect Tim Sale original commissions. I have some posted at comicartfans.com

Hey, why isn't your Ron Lim stuff up on comicartfans!!!! C'mon man, inquiring minds want to see!!!

The most I've ever spent on one piece was a Ron Lim 2 page splash commission ($1000), but I've got a number of other pieces I paid in the $300-$500 dollar range also.

Edit 3/2/06 - Just got in a piece from Giorgio Comolo which cost me $1100, so I suppose thats the top price for me now.

Thats like bidding on a chrome surfer bust.... a fool and his money....

Soon, very soon. I promise. Ick's is out of the way and I've changed the size of yours to an 11x17 comic page.
