One of the higher priced Jay Lynch/Old School sketch cards.
If I was going to drop $1000 on this stuff, I don't see my spending it on one colored sketch over two final arts such as Spackle and Boreteen arts. The sketch completist mentality is really leading to some high prices on sketches eh?
My thinking is the same. $1000 for a one-of-a-kind doodle instead of one, or even TWO published paintings? I guess it goes to show the power of Jay Lynch's reputation.
If I had $1000 to spend on something like this, I'd lean more towards an original painting or two as well.
I really wanted that Wander bread art. It was sitting at around $400 so I put in a snipe of $555 but it wasn't enough. That one is my favorite from the postcards. That character running after the bread is hilarious
Notice how the ink soaked through to the back. Is that happening with the other color sketch cards?
I missed the auction for the rough art to "Funny Taste".I really wanted that because i own the original color art.
Busted Ball line art
I haven't looked at ebay in ages and have two questions/comments.http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-Topps-Wacky-Packages-Old-School-Rough-Art-BUSTED_W0QQitemZ200461231326QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Basketball?hash=item2eac6ba4deDo auctions like this have a minimum bid? No minimum seems strange. $4.75 to ship art?!
Bark - roughBoreateen - roughBC Cola - rough
Boreateen art sells again. This time for less.
I look for art on ebay and all I get is auctions by this Probsein guy. This is so irritating. So obviously this guy (or consigned) every weird wacky that Topps did? Not enough to get me excited.
I should reiterate that I am not a collector of obscure Wacky items. I want what is main stream. The reason I say this is because I don't want to deal with the totally one off stuff Topps did. Most of this stuff is not in high demand. You would think it should be, but to me it's not. I don't think most collectors collect for the total value of an item, if you do then you might hate this hobby. If you want it in your collection then you will invest the cash otherwise it really has no meaning since you couldn't collect it as a kid.
