Aliens , UFOS, Always interesting to buy and Sell on Ebay!



I just had to show your these pictures! As you know Holograms are very hard to take pictures of . Selling this Alien card set with a silver looking foil picture would just not do it justice!


So in this blog post I will tell you how to take a picture of an Alien Hologram to get this affect!


First you need to be outside without a flash! You need to have some sunlight, and something to lean the picture and or holographic card against. You need to angle the items slowly left to right to get the right affect then be sure to hold the camera to get the most of the holographic image in color as you can.


It makes your Aliens sell better and when they sell better they are known to not use their ray guns as much ;)


Check out this guy! This set I am selling (still some left), has real artist depictions of aliens seen in real events with dates and the story on the back. Done for charity, these were some extra packs I purchased to benefit the charity and of course sell to you!


Selling Art On Ebay - Notes from a non-artist type..




Recently I have been fascinated by Art. I am not sure if it is an escape from reality thing or just an appreciate that grows as we age. In any case, I have always had some luck selling unusual pieces of art which I find out and about on my Ebay searchese of flea markets , tag sales etc.


Recently I came across an oversized poster booklet (in quantity) and and Artist named Christo that did the banners/flags of an orange/salmon looking color in Central park recently. I loved the posters and picked these items up cheaply. The images are of art done on a grand scale. From islands and bridges being wrapped to umbrellas set across miles of hill or in raging rivers. Ebay has developed an interesting art market. It is not just the antique pieces or pieces by lesser known masters but markets its developing all by itself . For now ill leave you with some pictures of the posters in the large posterbook by Christo, but my next blog installment will be on the ACEO artist trading cards! Thanks for reading my blog! :) -Marty
