Well I'm an artist and I know artists so I know what motivated artists.
Yeah! If you've met one artist, you've met them all. They pretty much all share the same motivations.
So, if you're an artist yourself, you only need look in the mirror to best determine what the motivations and thinking of all the others are.
Perfectly....sound....reasoning...
I'm sure there are many factors that play into what's going on, with what each individual is putting on the card.
Stick to your original point: We've been fortunate in that we've been getting more than what we (or Topps) have paid for. it's a very good point.
I'm inclined to not spend much effort criticizing their work, because I do think we have been fortunate to get the quality that's been coming through. I appreciate the sketches, but I'm more into the stickers.
So, im all for being thankful for what we have -- but are you suggesting that artists want people censoring their responses to their work? Is that what you're suggesting members do?
