Found a grail page this morning... now to see if I can acquire it.

It's not a McGuinness Hulk page. Those suckers are few and far between.

Never mind.. the seller doesn't know how to price art. He's charging $2,500 for a piece which should be $1,000 (maybe $1,200 tops), in my opinion.

I guess I can try and haggle with him, but... clearly he's even more green than even I am when it comes to OA dealings.

Damn.

That's not possible.

Naw, I've probably overpaid for 90% of my collection too.

Turns out he's in France, so... the price is indicative of that, to some degree, as pieces of art such as that are "harder to find there" (his words).

Really... it's harder to log onto the internet in France? I've been there twice, and I disagree.

Anyways.. it's a nice page, yeah.. great exposition on it, some great shots, etc.. but it's just headshots of the hero, except for one bust shot of him... He won't budge on the price, so ultimately it's not worth that kind of scratch. Gorgeous page, though.
