The 'I Got A New Piece Of Art' Thread, (for everybody!) - Page 134

The Gunslinger · 02-02-2015, 05:01 PM

Thanks for the input guys. Corben is awesome but the seller declined my maximum offer for a page. I'll be skipping these auctions. As much as I love Corben, I'll save my money for when Eastman comes to Houston this summer.

Yep, considering I own six of the little buggers... right place, right time for once in my collecting life...

Haha, glad to see they went to a fan here! The score of a lifetime.

I couldn't afford it and when I chatted with the dealer not much later, I asked about it and he told me it all sold. Not sure for how much or to who but obvisoulsy someone with deep pockets and considering it hasn't been seen since, I imagine its buried deep in a collection somewhere. Knowing that, and seeing as how these acetates are likley the ONLY way to get Corben TMNT art, perhaps the current pricing isn't too far off...?

That's crazy money but if I had it I would buy it in a heartbeat. That cover is among my all time favorites.

I really appreciate everyone's input. It was very helpful. Being a huge Corben fan, I couldn't let this opportunity to grab a page slip by. I managed to convince the seller to let the page go for the price I was willing to pay. I was able to purchase the end page that was listed

Will post more pics as soon as it arrives!

Mayhem, there are 2 other TTT pages on Comic Art Fans that belong to a Richard Corben collector. You have to type in "Corben Turtle" turtle being singular. That doesn't change that they are pretty hard to come by as you stated previously.

*Mayhem* · 02-08-2015, 11:15 AM

Ah, yes, you are indeed correct. Although it's three pages, not two. So that makes seven up on CAF.

Congrats on negotiating a better price so you could get one page though

Oops. You're right there are three. Thanks Mayhem!

Got a handful of IDW pieces over Christmas/This month

lilmotto · 02-10-2015, 09:49 AM

Here are 2 more pieces

The Gunslinger · 02-10-2015, 11:36 AM

Great pages lilmotto. There are a couple in there that I almost pulled the trigger on when they were posted for sale. Congrats!

*Mayhem* · 02-10-2015, 12:07 PM

I've had that Splinter focus page (the second one posted) in my watch list for an age, as I was looking for a time I could afford it and a couple of others I had my eye on. Well, drat, that it's been taken, I'd wanted a good Duncan page and had picked out that one to get. It's still showing as available on the Cadence website though oddly, which is why I thought it was still unsold.

OA · 02-10-2015, 12:54 PM

Great Duncan pieces! I had been eyeing some of those as well until I picked up something else. Just great art at reasonable prices. Congrats!

Yeah I just bought them last night. Paolo the guy I worked with was super nice and cut me a pretty fair deal. Duncan's stuff is my favorite from the new series and his artwork seems to be the most reasonably priced.

Thanks. I do agree his prices are very reasonable. It's always exciting getting a one of a kind piece for what you feel like is a good deal.

I just had to get them. I was looking at several of his pieces over the holidays and noticed that the selection was quickly depleted likely due to Christmas Gifts. So I had to get a cover and figured while at it I would get a few more pieces before I regretted not getting them.

Jay $tarkiller · 02-10-2015, 01:48 PM

Dope pages. I really dig those Casey/Raph pages. Congrats, man!

Well, if you find you need to sell the page at some point, let me know

(goes back to Cadence to pick out a different page instead)

*TheCanadiandrome* · 02-10-2015, 02:18 PM

I wasn't planning on getting so many pieces, but when I asked about the pieces I was interested in Paolo gave me a fair price so I couldn't not jump on them.... Now I just need to get a bigger house so I can display everything
