Hey all! Marcus great to hear you on the Podcast! Listened to it in the car today

@Felix - not sure if you've ever been asked but do you keep track of art that you've sold that goes on the market again ?  And does that have any impact on your future dealings with the original purchaser ?
Felix Lu
4:40
@Will...as a matter of fact, I DO keep lists. I have a list of flakes who are no longer welcome on the site. But there aren't really a lot of flippers I have to deal with. I think most know how I feel about that and just avoid the site anyway.

Off the top of my head, there is one flipper in particular, though, who I will not sell to anymore.

@Tim J thanks for the kind words, in the show and tell, I didn't want to gush all over the art.  It's not like I was trying to sell them.
Will_K

Removing Stan Lee's signature could be a specialty.
Felix Lu
4:41
@Will...a real challenge. Big and often in the art...
Reba

Fantastic DWJ pages! Who ever thought I'd be tempted by Deadpool art... Well, sold complete so safe from all us piranhas at the drop!
Tim J
4:41
@Felix Are those on the YouTube channel?  Haven’t seen it yet?  @Marcus was a busy bee, lol.
Felix Lu
4:41
@Tim J...yes! Check out Marcus' Show and Tell video!
Chris S
4:42
That Alex Ross Cap cover at auction right now…
Robert Coleman

@Will_K I've never understood why people go to all the trouble of "winning" a piece from a Felix drop and then go to flip it right away. Personally, I think badly of them even though I don't know who they are (usually).
Nathan K
4:42
@Marcus, does your blackhole include even more Transformers covers?
marcus wai
4:42
@Nathan K I have a few more, I don't have 4.  I don't have 5.
One year, the art booth directly across from the Bella Sara booth.  they were promoting unicorn trading cards and played their music all weekend long.  I took their trading cards and got artists to sign them
Mark V

@Felix Lu ... has doing the podcast and "show and tell" videos encouraged more collectors to come forward and show off their "black hole"-type pieces?
Felix Lu
4:43
@Mark V...yes, I have heard from so many collectors because of the podcast/videos...not all are willing to share publicly like Marcus, though...so kudos to Marcus again!
Ron Lim

@Marcus Were you joking about the family business thing? What'd your family own?
marcus wai
4:43
@Ron Lim we ran a trading company that bought asian groceries in bulk and split them up for distribution
Nathan K
4:43
I hope the world gets to see them some day. There's some real gems in the series
Fabrice S

@ Will / Felix. Yes, something as bad as one of Lee's signatur. The arist signed in the only negative space on the page, ruins the overall design. But since it is the artist's signature, not sure it is deontological correct to do so. Anyways, off the topic of tonight's chat
Felix Lu
4:44
@Fabruce...show us a pic!
marcus wai
4:44
I think I still have videos on youtube of people signing the unicorn cards and giving me strange looks
Tim J
4:44
@Marcus, Ah, that #5 cover is fantastic.
Felix Lu
4:44
I think I called that a Megatron cover in the podcast...of course, I meant Soundwave. Duh.
Rob Rusch
4:44
The Lee signatures on the Ross pieces on Clink really hurt...
Fabrice S
4:44
will need to take a photo. Colan/Romita Dr Strange splash
marcus wai
4:45
@ Tim J I asked Mark Bright and he said he would not sell #5
Nathan K
4:45
Not Soundwave either. Shockwave
Felix Lu
4:45
Fuck. Well, at least this proves I'm not a Transformers nerd.
Ron Lim
4:45
@Rob, YES! That Lee signature really ruins that pice.
Nathan K
4:45
lol
Will_K
4:45
@marcus not a transformers fan but those were nice covers in the show & tell.
marcus wai
4:45
that was in the early 2000s and I have not heard from him since
Chris S
4:46
so Bright still has it?
Rob Rusch
4:46
Who is the artist on the Shockwave cover? Is it also Bill S?
Felix Lu
4:46
Mark Bright
marcus wai
4:46
@ Chris S that's what he said back then.
Nathan K
4:46
If Bright still has #5, I'm glad to hear that at least. It's something that shouldn't be lost to time
Rob Rusch
4:46
oh awesome!
