I speak about this a lot with my close circle of OA collecting friends, and it should come as no surprise to anyone on this message board - the number of auctions has ballooned to several multiples from just a few years ago. Clink, ComicConnect, Hake's, etc. all have their big quarterly auctions, and some also have intermittent auctions, too. But most of the attention has gone to Heritage, with their Signature auctions every 3 months, plus International OA auctions, Archie OA auctions, and who can forget the myriad of Garfield auctions we've come to anticipate? Submissions for the aforementioned HA auctions have been increasing, and the durations of the auctions have become weekend marathons, with several folks mentioning the auctions take far too long and they sometimes 'tune out'. Well, it seems as though Heritage has received word because their weekly auction offerings seem to be improving in quality (breadth, depth of offerings). The past weeks' auction was pretty good, and the current weekly auction has art by a bunch of great artists of interest to most of us. Not sure if this plan is short-term to enhance interest in the weekly auctions or reduce the offerings/duration for their Signature auctions (or both!), but there seems to be some very nice art and good deals flying under the radar (some mention of this was noted by another OA member in a different thread). So, if you have some money handy, now may be a great time to pick up a decent piece. Thoughts? P.S. For full transparency, I have consigned one lot in this weeks' HA auction, which I will highlight soon in the OA Marketplace section.

Absolutely disgusting!

Based on the inking, can anyone determine the year of the unpublished pinup? for example, is it possible that it was intended for publication as the ASM #3 pinup, but rejected for one reason or another? Or was this piece illustrated later, perhaps as a pinup for Annual #1?

Next Jim Davis/Garfield auction is July 11th.

Looks like we're in for a treat with this upcoming auction...so many pieces from diverse genres, artists, and budgets. Now at nearly 900 OA lots, including this recently added beauty!

Yeah, and it was already published way before ASM #700, as the back cover to the Official Marvel Index to The Amazing Spiderman #1 (1985)

Quite timely, considering the current Gang War crossover storyline in ASM, DD and other Marvel Titles 😃

So, did the non-story pages =10 in total? therefore 38 of story plus 10 pages of ads, letters columns, etc = 48 pages. Right?

Thanks! Happy to see that HA took up my recommendation to identify pieces from the Mandel collection

As of today, Feb 17, there are 750 OA lots listed in this auction. I don't know if more will be listed but I am curious as to which ones, if any, are consigned by Dave Mandel. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
