Upcoming Heritage Auction

[rsonenthal]

I was looking over the lots and found it interesting that some pieces had reserves that were higher than I would expect (say the Ditko panel page), and some pieces that I thought would be significant (the two X Men #1 pages, and the Kane Spiderman cover) had no reserve at all. Anyone else think it's interesting?

not really -- it's all dependent on the consignor

No reserve should mean the seller has enough confidence in the piece to put it up and let the market decide. Sometimes the seller employs shill bidders to artificially inflate the price.When a piece increases too much before the auction, this is often (usually?) the case.

Heritage can bid on their own lots. AND they can pull the item if they

 

believe that the hammer piece will be below what they want.

 

 

O.k., I said it...
