  1. You are partially correct. Heritage does have a warehouse full of comics! I know, I was there!
  2. https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/cat-man-comics-28-continental-1945-cgc-vg-40-cream-to-off-white-pages/a/7248-97054.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515
  3. CAF Update: Any fans of Prime here? Check out this really incredible color image from 1993! link: https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1764359
  4. The Phantom Stranger 30 cover was one of the first pieces of OA I ever bought. Fantastic piece!
  5. The ink “I” was scrubbed away. Looks like they were able to take a nice looking raw 4.5 and turn it into a graded 7.0. I have a feeling this book in hand may look a bit different than the computer images you see.
  6. Gi Joe 21 holds a special place in my heart as it was the first comic I ever read. I’m glad someone who appreciates it as much as I do owns it!
  7. Just because you are the first to draw in a certain way doesn’t mean… A. You are good at it! B. Your art is worth $1m+. C. Others will appreciate it. D. All of the above.
  8. I was the owner of that book. Rotor sold it to Al Capp and he sold it to me. I believe it was listed as a NM on the exchange, but it wasn’t. It was an amazing, fresh looking copy but it had small spine stress and a tiny hole. Pink pages.
  9. That’s not the $1500 commission piece, this is!
  10. When I went throughly the MH list a few decades ago, I identified 133 doubles. However, the caveat to that is Chuck only listed doubles if they were different grades. I know of several doubles that are not listed on the MH list twice because they are the same grade (by Chuck’s 1977 criteria). I also found 1 issue that had triples!
  11. Based on condition and years, the Promise Collection resembles the Big Apple Collection more than any other pedigree. Big Apple books pre 1943-1944 are unspectacular and lower grade, just like the Promise. Then in 1943-1944 they become quite amazing. Big Apple book as also generally have White and OW/W pages. They are also coded as well.
  12. Pretty sure that’s Peter Parker on that there #14 cover!
  13. On 6-7/1971 Swamp Thing was born! 50 years old this year! Post your Swamp Things! 2 consecutive pages to House of Secrets #92 by Bernie Wrightson.
  14. Now we can all speculate on the sale price! A Fun game! I’ll guess $400-500k per cover, 1.6-2mil for the set.
  15. Highest Graded Copy 1 of 1. 9.4 White Pages LB Cole cover! https://comics.ha.com/itm/golden-age-1938-1955-/guns-against-gangsters-4-novelty-press-1949-cgc-nm-94-white-pages/a/122139-17572.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515
  16. Maybe we weren’t watching the same auction. The Actions pretty much all went for record prices! I’d say Superman is doing just fine!
  17. This Budd Root cover will be in the next Heritage signature auction. Easily his most classic, iconic cover!
