Buying original art from the artist who created it is one way to ensure that you're getting what you're paying for. New Yorker cartoonist Julia Suits sold the original art of her most popular cat cartoon on eBay in 2022. Matted and framed, it was initially offered, as I recall, for about $1,000 around January, but the price came down in the ensuing months to $800 and the accepted best offer in July was somewhere below that.
