Misleading or incomplete descriptions suck. I mean, I've found art on eBay where the same artist is inked by Vince Colletta and Joe Orlando but there's no mention of the inker. (I happen to like Colletta's inking in some cases, but there's a huge difference there. Orlando is a great inker and in some cases may be a selling point, whereas Colletta is an inker that some people would shy away from regardless of the quality of the final product.)

Some types of artwork there's no mention of any artist at all. I don't collect random pages. I may buy pages from comics I haven't read, but then I'm buying it because I like other work by that artist. It's only by accident that I even find some of these pages. I mean  -- how do you sell a Flash page by Carmine Infantino and not list Infantino as the artist?

Like the Sal Buscema/Gerry Talaoc page from Hulk 291 I posted above. Gerry Talaoc's name is even written on the back of the page. His inks were a huge factor in me buying that page at that price. It's not in the item description,it's only because I'm familiar with his style that I even knew it was him.

When the piece only sells for as high a price as it does (or even sells at all) because the buyer recognizes the artist by the art as posted, something's wrong.  One thing is sellers who try to cheat the buyer by omitting information relevant to the pricing of the item (when the truth might lower the price), it's unethical but I can understand WHY they do it. But omitting information that may bring in more bidders? That's like shooting yourself in the foot.

That description, in fact, borders on (and perhaps crosses over into) fraud.

So Ari knows, i'll try to get to get him a headsketch at the next time Darwyn and I are in the LCS at the same time..it happens fairly infrequently, but it does happen.  This was for my daughter at FCBD.
