Hmmm... personally, I'm more interested in buying original art... by that I mean art of characters the artists designed themselves. But sometimes there are exceptions to that general rule - as when I see a non-original character in a unique scene (by the way, I chose "if I have money when i get out of the dealer's room!")
And yes, very glad to have you back. I hope you checked "The (Not-So-Official) Birthday Thread".
