Original Comic Art

[optimus187prime]

I have been eyeing up a few original pages on ebay recently, but I always get worried I am being scammed. Have any of you guys purchased original art off of ebay? If so, how can you be sure it is legit and not a reproduction?

Also if you have any pics of what you got that would keep this thread interesting.

Try Comic Art Fans (http://www.comicartfans.com/). As for eBay make sure you get insurance and just look at the sellers feedback to give you an indicator.

Type the dealers name into Google. I'm considering this page by Ryan Ottley ($150)

I'm broke though (that page of Invincible is actually the last one I read as I'm behind on trades).

Man that is a beautiful page, at 150 thats a great price too. Im looking into 100 Bullets pages for around $300.

I've been looking at some pages as well. I saw this hilarious one from Preacher when Herr Starr throws a computer out a window but it got over $300 and i don't really want to spend that much.

I have kinda set my limit at $300 for any one page (excluding covers and splashes).

Just got my first original art page. :D

Some awesome stuff you got. I would really, really love some but I just can't afford to spend that much. Heck, there was a Grendel sketch Matt Wagner did and signed up on ebay for only 30 bucks and I'm still trying to see if I can afford to grab that :P

I'm envious - especially the 100 bullets page, it's beautiful. Do you hang them on your wall?

Hey all, was wondering how to keep my art safe, if I don't want to custom frame it all. What exactly is that in this photo?http://www.ifanboy.com/content/articles/Here_We_Go_Again__San_Diego_Comic-Con_2009_Report
