Not just EC. Good Lord, I love it, but I won’t be in the buying pool at what I can imagine are the prices.

Indeed, some amazing stuff. I might wonder if the market can absorb it all in one sitting but I think history has proven the money shows up.

Let’s pray they can’t but I imagine the market will hover them up fine

I was just happy to see all these survivors of that era - I can't even imagine what this auction will look like with Roger Hill's collection. I read a bit about him -  he was an "art detective" - how awesome would it have been to be tracking these pieces down in the 70's and 80's: sending letters, making phone calls, meeting people for dinner. All that old hard-boiled collector detective stuff...

Agreed.    The money never seems to be a problem when good material hits the block.

I'm surprised that the logo on Black Cat 50 doesn't seem to be a stat?

What an amazing looking 50s horror cover.    Does it get any better?

There are several I plan to potentially bid on but lets see how insane the prices are

No it does not. Amazing to see. I may even keep this Heritage catalog.

But, the logo is a stat per the description "A logo, masthead text, and the cover caption box are very high-quality reproduction paste-ups affixed to the board. " What is never clear to me is when these were done, ie, modern or part of the production process.

thx for that.    "reproduction" means modern I think.

My assumption is that if they were vintage (i.e., part of the original production process) it would read "...logo, masthead text, and cover caption box are original paste-ups affixed to the board." I think the words "high-quality reproduction" indicates pretty clearly they're modern, at least more modern than the art. My question would be, how are they affixed?

Edit - Bronty beat me to it.

Thanks, what I figured. High quality work it seems.

So then if we think about logo, masthead text, and caption box...

Essentially the central image will be art and nothing else.

All written elements modern.

Yes - seems like they've even chosen paper of a matching tone to make it blend in.

 you're right!

That's the only written element that will be art.

Yes I am waiting for people that know anything to start throwing their price estimates into this thread.
