Absolutely. They should be capitalizing on the cartoon popularity of Duck Tales and Mickey Mouse. They own Marvel for Pete's sake.
I honestly don’t get it either… why bother licensing? Keep it in-house, synergy, all that corporate speak they are so fond of… target younger readers… give them a «Carl Barks» of their own, I’m sure he’s out there chomping at the bit.

very happy with grades so far, these were all purchased long ago and was very worried about trimming or CT, but all good! Even got a couple in 9s!

More likely due to the fact that some of the so-called once red hot BA, CA and MA books have taken a humongous double percentage pummeling from their recent highs and submittors are now no longer as anxious and in such a hurry to send in these kinds of books for so little gains, if any at all, after taking into account their shipping and slabbing fees along with any other ancillary charges.
Don't think anyone was using Economy ST for hot modern books, unless they like being a year behind trends...

Batman 32, I thought 7.0 came back 8.0
Batman 50, I thought 3.5 and would be excited for a 4.0, came back 6.5
Batman 100, I thought 4.0, came back 5.0
Batman 139, I thought 2.0, came back 4.5
You got any raw books to sell?

Too much trouble as I've paid for my last few orders online.
The last time I talked to them was back in 2018 or 2019 when I paid for an order and asked them when it would be shipped and they replied that my profile was set up for shipment only upon request. Thanked her kindly and still haven't bothered to make a request yet, but probably should after my next order or so.
To clarify, will they ship each held order separately and charge you shipping on each or will they ship with a combined single shipping fee? I think that’s where I may have not been clear. I’m actually surprised they don’t tack on a storage fee!

Definitely NOT correct here.
This is exactly right as I remember never getting around to calling them to request that they ship my books out to me, and when I finally did, they shipped quite a few years worth of books to me all at one time. Thankfully, they didn't missed any and managed to hold all of them for me.
Well you should call them for me cuz they’ve never allowed me to hold books after many calls…

With the Canadian dollar where it is actually and the ever increasing shipping costs from the US to Canada, I’m sure a lot of my fellow Canucks have pumped the brakes on big ticket purchases from the States. Buying one book from CLink or Heritage is so cost prohibitive that you force yourself to “fill your cart” as I call it. At least CLink allows you to keep books there until you reach a good number but not HA.

Would need at least a 9.0 for slab worthiness I think.

No clue what that printer’s crease does to grade… help me decide if it’s sub worthy. Thanks!

If you have stuff that they want, nothing's non-negotiable.

I was the seller last year. I definitely didn't pay $22.5k to Heritage!
Ok, I'm sure it wasnt 0% either, I always thought their BP was non negotiable (at least that's what they've told me)

I was surprised too, but apparently there were at least 2 other collectors out there that were willing to pay around $90k for it, in addition to whoever won this last year.
But how did HA make $45k off this sale?
They sold the same book last year so twice the juice.
I think setting a reserve on these near 6 digit books will start to be the norm...

I was watching this auction too. A grail like that is worth more in my books
Why is it the seller lost 25%? I thought Heritage extracts 10%
He paid 90k to buy it. Sold it for 90k. HA took 15k buyers premium plus 10% of the 75k so 15k + 7.5k so in all he lost a regular human’s yearly salary with very little effort

But they already own the biggest comic company in the world… why license to another company when they can do it in house under the Marvel banner or Star Comics like they had in the 80s?
