I think there's a mix. I've seen some pictures of people that have them on the wall, but most of the pictures of people's collections I've seen are them spread out on a table or the floor.
If my comment had any part in driving you to ask the question, I would love to eventually hang 2 of the mini caravans: A pink to hang in the house and a second color to frame for my office. I would just love to get a few of them in my hand, decide which paper I like the most and trade the rest.

Unfortunately there is a lot more hoarding than displaying.apruski03 wrote:Do people that try and buy every color and such actually display them, or is it purely like a hoarding thing?

No, it wasn't your comment at all!MJGallicchio wrote:I think there's a mix. I've seen some pictures of people that have them on the wall, but most of the pictures of people's collections I've seen are them spread out on a table or the floor.

For a short period I was in a Spusta group on facebook and there were people that literally had dozens of the same print, just in different color combinations. I was just curious what was about.
Oh my gosh, from a sale perspective he's hit pay dirt. Sell the same image repeatedly, just alter the colors and the papers a bit and only sell a handful at a time to keep demand up??? Absolutely brilliant!zefarrett wrote:The handbills are just like baseball cards. It's fun to collect them and flip through the portfolio looking at them. It's a brilliant idea.
Mr. Spusta is a very good artist, but an even better business man!
The secret stash ebay/facebook page is a perfect example of this. Good for him for taking advantage of the rabid following and market that has developed around his work.apruski03 wrote:Oh my gosh, from a sale perspective he's hit pay dirt.

Anyone else receive the wrong print from Marq's most recent sale? I'm hoping he will be able to exchange for the one I ordered. Anyone get a moe green by mistake?
I think this is a first for me after all these years of collecting.
I also didn't get any minis or stickers or anything. I hope Marq hasn't stopped sending those things. I look forward to the mystery goodies.

I don't think that the gig posters generally come with many free extras.
I got a green Govt Mule when I won the blue in the lottery and they gave me the option of keeping it with a partial refund or sending it back. Only one micro in that package. I sent it back for the blue and they threw in some other extras for the mix up. Just shoot them an email and I'm sure they'll do the same.

I do agree with this very much. More than once have I been reminded of my days collecting cards as a kid while trying to acquire some 5x5.zefarrett wrote:The handbills are just like baseball cards. It's fun to collect them and flip through the portfolio looking at them. It's a brilliant idea.

Agree. But this is also the scary part. My "retirement" baseball card stash back at my mom's basement is worth about 10% of what I paid for them back in the 90s.

Who you guys think you're fooling with this "baseball" card stuff. We all know you're really referencing Magic cards.
