<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Armando0831, post: 32050, member: 305&quot;]I have not purchased this painting yet, due to the fact that I&#039;m waiting to see if the owner will remove the painting from the frame to reveal the signature. Upon doing so, I can research for that artist and hopefully find comparable prices. If they don&#039;t show me the sig, then yes, it would be a very irrational decision to buy this at $275 without having a positive id on a listed artist. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wanting to collect pieces from listed artist. I do get a little ahead of myself when buying paintings but over the last year, I&#039;ve calmed down and looked for the artist before buying a piece. Now, if a piece is original, and the artist that I know not of, and I like it, I try to compare prices with similar subject matter and time frame to make a sound call on a price. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m just a collector. On the same hand, I don&#039;t want to collect junk. Investment wise, yes that&#039;s also my priority. I know you&#039;ve read where I never plan on selling any of my pieces. I see it as, I work to hard to sell something that I&#039;ve worked my tail off getting. Yes, to have some serious money for my future grand kids, if they ever feel like liquated, is a thought. Hopefully though, they appreciate art as much as I do. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s like my baseball card collection, only Ruth&#039;s, Aaron&#039;s, May&#039;s and Mantle&#039;s. Oh ya, can&#039;t forget Derek Jeter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
