Jon Foster posted this on FB. This one even I don't believe. Does anyone know about this?

I'm saving my pennies for a Richard C!

I sent the guy a conceptual work.

Two pieces by Mick Boyle from my personal collection. One is a portrait of me done by Mick. The other documents the Kipsy Marlowe incident well known to Kulters & Trashpoets. These 2 are a steal for $1,500 (for the pair) based on current Ebay prices.

I made a thing.

I took the advice in the comments and looked closely at the offerings. I think the Ray Johnson & JMB items are great. I'd love to have the abstract add & pass. But not sure about price. Very collectible things generally. vispo related too.

Oh - and also this is fascinating to me because the rustle of cash instantly elevates our humble IUOMA friend to m-a superstardom with RayJo, John Evans & JMB.

I'll never think of fellow DKulter Mick the same way. I mean, Mick is now awesome!

Thx Jon Foster! (for this & the previous Richard C Ebay listing).

Jon is walking the Ebay beat. I'm just passing along.

I have yet to formulate an official, coherent personal position on this kind of sale of mail art. Lots of feedback when Richard C postcards were "under the gavel."

Thx for this, Jon. It's a serious issue imho

[jon foster]

@De Villo - If you look at his list, he did sell a Richard C. postcard. PS - I'm starting something with this...something with the theme "THIS MAIL ART IS FREE."

So...who wants to mail him and comment on such things?

Thx Jayne, Investigative Mail Art at its best.

I have an extensive Mick Boyle collection, including a shred of his jeans.

Serious inquiries only, please.
