Feb Heritage Auction

[bluechip]

So, a copy of tec 27, in a condition that I'd bet money on the average person calling a poor to fair, sold for 116K.

 

(assuming the buyer doesn't have to pay sales tax)

 

 

 

 

[Timely]

WOW, the Detective #170 MH Copy just sold for $15,535.! I remember Gary Carter had this book for sale for at $1000! shesh!

blood is in the water!

Heritage has a great internet system but it is really a pisser when you send in a bid only to have it disappear into the ether.

[lou_fine]

ugh...lost the MMC 40...I am pressing "cut" like a big dog and nothing

 

Rick;

 

Being the big player that you are, no doubt Heritage has disable the red and blue button on the left so that it doesn't work from your computer.

 

You just have to move your cursor over to the right and hit the big red button.

[lou_fine]

Billy collection will have a kick of added value as time goes on......that helps you get though the tough times.

 

Mitch;

 

You really need to get in contact with Jay Parrino and Gary Keller and have a little chat with them.

 

I believe you'll find it quite enlightening and possibly depressing at the same time!

[EJR]

Timely, I owned this book after Carter. I thought I could afford to buy it back! Wow was I ever wrong! EJR

[Mmehdy]

over 5 million on 496 lots......wow and still going on, make that over 5.25 heading to 5.5

Boy, ain't that the truth.

5.5 million at 580 lots...wow

 

Mitch, here's a serious hypothetical for you. Let's forget money and investment potential for a minute. Assume every one of these books is $100 and will never change in value (including the Action 1 and Tec 27). Which one of these Wright books would you want and why?

All of them, in a heartbeat. There's nothing better than cool old comics.

That's too easy!

 

Let's say you can only choose three.

[Agent 007]

Very Happy. Won a book for FF Curator today and a GA Billy book. Both are my 1st collection/pedigree to have.

[Mmehdy]

5.75 million and still going..let me think about that question.

[etanick]

for me, it is Planet 1. I have always admire that cover from afar....put many other #1 to shame as far as art and color.

[Theagenes]

Planet 1 is a good choice. It's really tough---there are so many great books.

 

I think MMC 4 would be one of my choices. I love the earlier pulp-style Schomburg covers and that's my favorite I think.

 

The Tec 18 is also an amazing cover. Flessel's best imo.

 

The AMF v2n5 is also sweet. Rare as can be, one of Everett's best, sword-and-planet style sf cover, duo-tone; just a great book.

 

Then there's the Mystery Men 3. Forget Fantastic 3----this is Fine's best cover.

 

Damn, that's four. I can't narrow it down.

[esquirecomics]

I paid more than I wanted for this one but I figured what's the odds of seeing another one? Has anyone ever seen it before (besides the past HA auction)?

 

[G.A.tor]

Considering how much the recently upgraded 9.2 Chicago Marvel Mystery Comics #6 just sold for, I think the Billy Wright 9.2 copy sold cheaply.

what did it go for , the chicago copy

 

$20K

wow, that is what it was priced at when it was a 9.0
