Are signed Perez Steele postcards the coolest thing ever?

I would personally rather have an original photo, or a period signed flat. 10,000 times over. While I own a piece for my player PC its one of my least favorite items. Dicks art is very 80s to me, the style seems to be something you had to grow up with to like, (similar to junk wax) and I did not grow up with it. I'm much more a Helmar guy, realism and vibrant colors are my jam.

Im starting to feel this same way. I grew up with these so I like them very much however, im not liking the resale value of these at all. Originally I kept flip flopping between signed 8x10s, signed topps HOF cards and Perez steeles. After much thought, I decided on signed Perez steeles then just recently got screwed on auctions selling my doubles, now im scratching my head wondering if I should of just went with either signed 8x10s or signed HOF topps cards as I don�t want to spend money on things that will resell for Pennie�s on the dollar (not interested in buying high and selling low!)

I grew up with it and always thought it was abominable.

I get it as many members here are hardcore collectors and these are probably considered �modern� to them. Almost like a crap product to them. I respect that.

I rather enjoy hearing all the differing opinions about Dick Perez' art. Some are little harsh, I mean look what this man has accomplished through the years. Use Bob Ross, the TV painter, as a good example. His art went from $1.50 to
$50,000 in a very short time.

I think the same think will happen with Dick Perez' original art. I have the original of his Billy Herman "Great Moments" and it's pretty cool seeing that with the card.

Acquire what you enjoy, not what someone else enjoys!

There are so many cool things to find vintage autographs on. I've never seen the lure of buying modern Sharpie autographs on items manufactured for collectors.
