Hello all
Ben H

Felix, I really wanted that Toth Canary, but it was sold by the time Albert got back to me!
Felix Lu
3:11
@Ben...did you see the sticker??
Lambo
3:11
I remember meeting tradd right after I read luthor strode. He was completely opposite to what my imagination drummed up from the art in strode!
Felix Lu
3:11
@Lambo...same with DWJ. Two gentle souls that you would never have guessed based on their hyper-violent art!
Andy/Cleangone
3:11
Like Glen Gold's father said, "You need taste or money"
Andy K
3:12
So many Andys in this hobby bc we all the same age. No Andys being created today

I was 3rd on albert's list for the toth canary
Ben H
3:12
I would have paid it in a heartbeat for that one.
Felix Lu
3:12
@Jason @Ben...wow! Now Albert will think he sold it too cheap lol
Francis Chervenak
3:12
i have a fun Tradd story
Rob R
3:12
was the Toth Canary ever posted? I think I saw Chris Samnee reach out to Albert about it on twitter before the drop went live
Felix Lu
3:12
@Rob...yes, it was posted.
Francis Chervenak
3:12
So when I first met him at NYCC must had been 2012 I think
Andy K
3:12
He did make it too cheap I was tempted to buy lol
Lambo
3:12
Albert always thinks he sold it too cheaply AFTER he sells it
Felix Lu
3:13
@Lambo...haha!
Rob R
3:13
what was the sticker on it? I never saw it
Felix Lu
3:13
$25K

I just wanted a Silver Surfer page with him on his board and I really liked Tradd's style.  Sometime better to be lucky than smart.
John j
3:13
Ha
Pat L
3:13
i think I already bought a few of Cristian's old pieces and didn't realize it
Felix Lu
3:14
@Pat...what did you get?
Simon B
3:14
I thought the price on the Toth BC was bananas. But then it sold so what do i know
Felix Lu
3:14
@Simon...same here. Now the real question is...was it worth a complete Tradd SSB issue?
Rob R
3:14
@felix unlikely
Malvin

One of the pieces I sold to Cristian, Albert sold for less, too bad I didn't see it as I would have bought it back
Francis Chervenak
3:14
legend of Luther was out
I went to him and asked if he was doing commissions. Politely he wasn’t.
By the time i saw him I think it was 6-7 years later
I had him sign I think the 12 I collected by that point
To go from just wanting a basic commission in 2012
3:15
To showing up with 12 pieces that spanned his career. Shows you how rewarding collecting long term can be
Casey A
3:15
The big Galactus/FF was you, wasn’t it, @Pat? The Allred?
Matt Todd
3:15
Silver Surfer Black pages are incredibly gorgeous.  I loved seeing the pages that Tradd brought to NYCC 2019. Truly jaw dropping in person
Mike Cichy
3:15
The other thing that amazed me about Tradd, was the way he holds the pen or brush to draw.Completely unique. As is he.
Felix Lu
3:15
@Mike...lefties are "unique"
Pat L
3:15
@Felix - I got the Mike Allred FF/Galactus DPS?  I think it's a commission but it's def signed "to Cristian"
Felix Lu
3:16
@Pat...yup, then that was one of Cristian's
Connecting…
