Thanks to Mark Pingitore for the trade. Mattes worked so I was able to frame it same day. Full wall pic to come when I'm back from vacation. I really dig Clark! Congrats on the epic addition for your epic collection !

So topps gets hacked 2+ months ago, but only yesterday lets is consumers know. I feel the need for a card to celebrate their continued douchebaggery....

For me it's the hand and the face of the human lol But I do like that I can almost hear doug's legs crunching as the first bite is taken I can see that, the face is pretty weak. I dig the look of Doug, all plump and slathered with mustard!

Man late series has some abysmal piles of s**t. Not that that was news to me but seeing so many stacked up next to each other really brings it home... Very true!, so bad that i think it takes away from how many really good pieces are in there...

So awesome to finally see all those bad boys framed up!! Awesome taste in art dude, all look fantastic Thanks!, i think we've got similar taste . I love how you used neutral colors which ending up making the art stand out more! I probably spent about 45 minutes mixing mats to come up with the combo for Perry. It looked like a bomb went off on the counter. The rest were advice from the framer and a combination of some of what Mark used on Half Nelson and Burne when he had them. Also, good to see you posting again!

Just curious, those os5 hot Doug hatin' peeps. Is it the face and hand of the consumer that kills this card for you? Either way you're all dead to me .

OS1 -Scary Carrie- The art isn't terrible, but it feels "out of place" as a gpk OS2 -Hairy Gary or Carrie- Bland IMO, but maybe better if the dolls looked more GPK OS3 -Bullseye Barry, honorable mention Broad Maud OS4 -4 Eyed Ida OS5 -Diaper Dan- but its still a good one!, no "stinkers" in this set OS6 -Clean Maureen OS7 -Reptilian Lilian OS8 -Mike Strike OS9 -Desi Island/Slidin' Sloan/Mamma Mia OS10 -Dirty Flora- what a turd OS11 -Wet Whit OS12 -Lame Len OS13 -Cat Craddle Cathy or John John OS14 -Lappin' Larry- i hate this one, and yes i get that its a drunk spuds makenzie OS15 -Shoe Lacy- so dumb ...OS5 - Diaper Dan or Hot Doug - it's a coin flip... Lol!, Hot Doug is one of my top OS5 ...OS5 - 187a GINGER SNAPPED - 187b EDIBLE ERNIE... C'mon you guys are killing me with these os5's

Gigantic thank-you to one of the UG's coolest dudes, Rahul. We swapped my Buff Grim Jim for his Hidden Hayden. I'm really running out of wall space and thought these would display better together, plus i like the Magritte reference.

I went with Ricky but both were among of my favorites from that series. I somehow didn't see this, and was stoked to see it was you who picked up sticky rick (when is saw your FB post)! Really nice piece and i've got fond memories of Rick too!

These are perfect, but.... how rare are they really? At least make these limited edition like topps does, and if you number it that definitely makes it rare!
Here is their proprietary formula for "limited" print runs. I hope i don't get a letter for sharing their business model. Step one: calculate immediate demand via online sales or previous set sales. Step two: print at least that amount (often more).
Maybe you could make them "exclusive"?, because i think that means a broader availability. Similar to the SDCC exclusives which are also available on Topps' website.

...frame on the walking dead is a bit gaudy, but i was going for a gothic look. ill keep it for now and see how the wall looks with everything else up... I think it looks great!

Jimbo- you summed up exactly what i've been thinking since i heard about this. I'd also like to add, quoting Abraham, (Topps) you can suck my nuts.

Damn, that is one of my favorite Diaz finals. I remember seeing that when it was for sale a while ago and the details in the pic were amazing so I imagine in person they are incredible! I wonder how long it took LD to paint the final. I'll try to get some close ups of the detailed areas. I really enjoy staring at this one , Rahual did a great frame up too! I don't think I ever congratulated you on this piece.I'm just floored by it.Total jaw dropper and centerpiece of your collection. Thanks Chris!, i'm still in love with this one and should have it framed up in a week or two.

Huge thanks to Rahul for this bad boy! I loved this from the second i saw it . The details in this are amazing, and i'm not the only one who loves checking it out! Also, i updated the first post in this thread so everything *should* be current.

It's all about the friends for me as of late. The hobby went to s**t a long time ago, but the awesome members/friends at the UG have kept me around. Plus, i don't think Jimbo posts pics of himself wearing tights on other sites ..

Nice job getting those all framed up, they look great! Bunk is really talented with the pencils IMO. Here is something he mentioned in an email when i was buying the Warmin' Norman rough, "Sometimes I think the sketches are more impressive than the final art,they are somehow more dynamic and alive." Pieces like Norman and Haunted Hollis are good examples of how "dynamic" they are .

Sorry to disappoint but the seller and i have finished intense negotiations so i can bring this relatively common error home! Looks like i'm paying the asking price.... but i'll get free shipping!!! (instead of the 2.45 he was asking).

Killer stuff Bill! Always love looking at your collection my friend. Did you notice the name on Glandular Angela COA? I think Pounds is on there somewhere too lol I think this one has a checkered past, with a gpk deviant originally purchasing it . Nah, i remember when you originally scored this!, i always loved it!
