The Harold Curtis collection was brought to market by Heritage in 2006.

 

"The Harold Curtis collection hails from Rhode Island, and is a very impressive original-owner assemblage consisting primarily of DC, Quality, and Lev Gleason titles. Most are high grade and have excellent paper quality. Many are at the top of the CGC census. Harold Curtis grew up in Danielson, a small, rural town in northeastern Connecticut. He began reading comic books, probably starting in the 1930's. On Saturdays, he and his younger brother and sister got up early in the morning in order to complete all of their weekly household chores before noon. Following lunch, their father rewarded each of them with an allowance payment of twenty five cents. It was with this financial windfall that Harold bought his weekly supply of comics, candy and movie theater tickets. While a few of the earliest issues show considerable wear, most of the comics appear to have been read once, and were stored well. Titles featuring Batman were Harold's main interest, but he also collected other heroic titles, and even a few selected romance comics as his interest in girls began to grow.... and understandably, as his interest in girls continued to develop, he eventually stopped buying comics -- but even after marriage he refused to ever get rid of his beloved collection! Until now."
