One of the higher priced Jay Lynch/Old School sketch cards.

[Monsterettes]

Thanks Mark for gathering these for everyone!

[DrSushi]

Yes, thank you (and karma you). I haven't been following the auctions, but it is interesting to see. I appreciate you putting in the time and effort for the forum.

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.

It is kinda strange when you put it that way. I think it's the card pulling mentality. Everyone wants to go for the chase cards. They also fit nicely in a 9 pocket sleeve

Franken Brainy - rough

I'd like to eventually get one colored sketch but I can't see dropping a grand on one.  I guess $500.00 seems more in line to me, and I'd be perfectly happy with an Old School title.  That green Cheddarfield is beautiful.

Spine Sol - rough
Jim Mean - rough
Wander Bread - color art

[BumChex]

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

This is the exact gag I have always mentioned I would want to see done, I even mentioned this to David Saunders years ago when he and I were kicking around some project ideas.  It is possible I posted this on the old forum when we were kicking aound homemade ideas.  I was thrilled to see something like this become a real wacky.

I never even saw this auction so I can't even guess what I would have been willing to bid at the time.

Another incredible price paid for a Jay Lynch sketch card.

Notice how the ink soaked through to the back. Is that happening with the other color sketch cards?

On the Garbage Pail Kids sketches that I did for Topps, I used Prismacolor markers and they sometimes bled through.

[Kook-Aid]

I missed the auction for the rough art to "Funny Taste".I really wanted that because i own the original color art.
If anyone on his forum has that piece id be interested in it, if your willing to part with it that is

The art for Boreateen is back up on ebay. I guess someone backed out, even for a paltry $400.

Is this your auction, or are you referring to different art?

I haven't looked at ebay in ages and have two questions/comments.

Do auctions like this have a minimum bid? No minimum seems strange.
$4.75 to ship art?!

Topps doesn't start their auctions with a minimum bid. No need to, I guess. Whatever they make will be gravy. If an item doesn't sell for much then setting a higher minimum might keep that item from selling at all. Topps doesn't need the art and would have to use valuable space to store it all. And Topps seems to be scaling down more...and more...and more....

When I receive art from Topps it usually shows up in a package that had to cost more than $4.75. I don't know why they do that. But let's not draw their attention to it. Ssshhh.

Boreateen art sells again. This time for less.

[bandaches]

Bark - rough
Boreateen - rough
BC Cola - rough

Wow, I gotta start paying more attention to these on ebay, I am not seeing them for some reason.  They are selling for less than some Old School sketches that exist in multiples!

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) sells 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.

Brad,
I'm trying to figure out what you're saying in these two posts. I don't know who Probsein is or which items you're referring to. Boreateen, along with all the other art auctions I posted, were ToppsVault auctions. What is the obscure item you're referring to? What is a one off?
