Original Magic art is INSANE.. should have bough some

Wait wait!! I am not in mtg but i bought an original artowrk by j.jacquays... ages ago... How insane are now the prices???

Secondly if you want to have a chat with someone who was in this area of the hobby, you'd better try to get in touch with the trove (this is the nick he has/had at time of the collector's trove!)... Maybe someone here knows him and can address you better...

If a person has an overwhelming desire to own an art piece - lets say a painting by Jeff Easley - but not a specific piece, just one that appeals. Unless you can identify a specific item with a specific owner, and raise sufficient funds to pry it away from them, you'd be better off commissioning an original. Same goes for all the artists who aren't pushing up daisies. That's what our limited edition art projects have been about. If 80 people pay $100 for a print, and the artist retains the original, then I suspect an artists would entertain a commission where they hand over the original for $10K. Can you buy an original Easley or EO painting painting for $10K on the private art market?

The questions that a buyer really needs to ask are, what exactly is it he wants to buy, and what does he intend for it to do in the future?
Does he want a specific painting? A specific artist? A specific feeling in the art? A specific reputation or significance in an art piece?
And does he want it for display? Investment? Security against inflation? Actual appreciation in value?

'I wanna buy a painting - where can I buy one?' is a meaningless question.
