[Groop]original art question (OT)

[Richard Walker]

For a comic which I am a fan of, $25 seems a drop in the bucket( especially 
for such darn good art as i see here ). In my experience it has been in 
mylar bags, or mounted and behind glass/plastic. By the way, I saved your 
art, should I send you some money?
