People are always wheeling and dealing, and wrangling to get the best end of a deal, but Mike is one of those curious individuals who not only loves and covets the art that he collects, but truly strives to make sure everyone feels satisfied at the end of a deal..he realizes how important a happy customer is, and for the majority of dealers that's really forward thinking on his part...a rare commodity in today's market.

With your recent post concerning the smaller pages out pacing large art in value<br />it was good to hear that large silver age Marvel art is hot!<br /> Keep up the good work Glen. I hope this is the first of a series, as I would love to read the views of Anthony Snyder,Al Moy and the views other dealers as to where this hobby/market is going.Charles David Vieranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635438663310378583.post-12221804392967394362012-08-29T08:28:35.735-07:002012-08-29T08:28:35.735-07:00I really agree with Scott's comments above - i...I really agree with Scott's comments above - it seems to me that so many collectors adopt a scatter gun approach to collecting. Those collections which really stand out to me are those which have an intense focus whether that be a particular artist, period or comic bookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635438663310378583.post-81364157434209374452012-08-29T08:17:38.550-07:002012-08-29T08:17:38.550-07:00One of the things I like about Burkey is his inten...One of the things I like about Burkey is his intense love and FOCUS on what he collects. Unlike a lot of collectors who look for one or two examples of all their favorite artists and characters, Mike really made a very interesting and in the end wise move to only collect what meant the most to him. Even better, the fact that Romita wasn't as highly regarded when Mike first started collecting and wasn't swayed by the opinions of others is refreshing. It seems that a lot of collectors today who don't seem to have a clear idea about what they even like or think is good. They are often swayed by what they think is hot. Not usually a recipe for collecting success or happiness IMHO.<br />ScottScott Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833889953033639368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635438663310378583.post-64021021277478011292012-08-28T10:59:44.013-07:002012-08-28T10:59:44.013-07:00I agree, Terry.

Once Mike figures out what kind of stuff you like he begins to offer you things that are in your collecting wheelhouse--even before he puts them on his site. He loves the hunt and the chase, and really likes to move the stuff around quick.Glen Brunswickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034178269253508394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1635438663310378583.post-91994986771392040782012-08-28T10:37:36.183-07:002012-08-28T10:37:36.183-07:00Mike's enthusiasm for the hobby always shines ...Mike's enthusiasm for the hobby always shines through. He's a shrewd, clever guy, but always energetic and fun to deal with!<br /><br />Some of my favorite pieces came to me from Mike, and he was very helpful in recent years when I consigned art to his site to help fund a house-move.<br /><br />He locates some great stuff, so his web-site is always well-worth a look-in.<br /><br />Respect to the guy.Terry Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424931299337565916noreply@blogger.com
