It's not the flippers fault. If these pieces weren't so "exclusive" (meaning TO EXCLUDE) there wouldn't be a demand or market for the flippers. They in fact provide a service some are greatful for. As for the Huck situation I agree to a point... I can understand being offended after someone goes and sells a drawing you went out of your way to deliver for free. But you have to expect this to happen from time to time. A solution would be to "personalize" all free doodles for fans. Adding a "to my biggest fan Jeffrey" will either make the market for the item very limited, or completely unsellable. Huck I am sure, deep down inside is very flattered that his work has a value and all his efforts have paid off. I will bet you he is sitting rivited to his monitor waiting to see just how valuable he really is... ;) it’s true, flipping is just the nature of the beast. It’s not the flippers fault.

(Getting Radiohead tix was a pain in the ass.) It also sucks that flippers will ruin it for real fans who just want a doodle from their favorite artist. It's too bad.

I must say, I know many a person that want artists to draw in their books because they are big fans. the way I see it, It's like a movie/rock star snobbing a person asking for a autograph.
