Kudos To Heritage Auctions For Adding Its New Feature To Track Prior Sales!

It may very well be that this particular feature appeared in an earlier Signature Auction, but I just noticed it (and, to my knowledge, no one ever mentioned it before on the boards).

 

To be sure, I have often been critical of Heritage Comics on many levels. I do not agree with some of its business practices, and because of that I have made the principled decision - after spending mutiple six figures - not to purchase any additional books from their comic auctions for the purpose of reselling them. I do, to be candid, occasionally purchase unique comics (i.e., rare, one-of-kind, etc) for my own personal collection.

Of course, we all relish and appreciate Heritage's permanent auction inventory, and the high-res scans.

I've bought from them a couple of times in the last year. I guess the books I bought hadn't been sold previously.

 

Well, it still deserves highlighting and
