Heritage November 2009 Auction- 12 Lots of Note.
I went through the catalog yesterday. I limited myself to picking twelve lots of interest to share with you guys. It was tough because this is an auction full of some interesting material. The Joe Kubert lots themselves could have produced a decent set of 12 items to ogle.
The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC NM- 9.2
This is clearly the book of the auction. I don't get excited easily by Silver Age marvels, but this book brings a smile to my face. It's tough to find in high grade and it's the HULK.
Hulk smash!
As of this writing it sits at $45,000. Still plenty of room for a thrill bid, I think.

Five Random Heritage Thoughts + a Big 100,000 Club Update
- It seems like The Showcase 4 basically made 9.5 money. 179k is nothing to sneeze at, but it's only 19k more than the 9.4 sold for at ComicConnect. I know people were skeptical about the grade, feeling it had gotten an unfair bump over the 9.4. The price seems to reflect that.
Of course, the loss of the 160k buyer has to have hurt this book as well.
- The Marvel Mystery Comics #9 result was right where I figured it would end up. A gorgeous book and a stellar result.
- $15,535.00 for the MT 10 Wolverine Limited Series #1. Think about that for a few minutes as you make your way through your day.
Me? I'm thinking about the cases of that book I used to have access to.
- If that doesn't shake your brain to its core, try 11,950.00 for a CGC MT 9.9 X-Men 141. I love that book, but… wow! That's a lot of money for a book that likely still exists in unopened cases. Those later Byrne X-Men were hoarded. I'd be really scared to have that much money in one of those books. What happens if a 10 comes along?
Still, a very cool book!
- Proof that I won't own an unrestored Detective Comics #27 any time soon came in the form of an $83,650 price tag for a 1.5. That sets the bar for basically every other unrestored copy at over $100,000.
I guess I'll be dreaming about a restored copy. Still, I can't complain- it couldn't happen to a better book.
Based on that Detective 27 result and the previous Action #1 1.8 result I added every copy of each above 2.0 in the Census to the $100,000 club. I also added all the qualifying (or near qualifying) Heritage results.

Cool Stuff On eBay This Week
Here's this week's quick round-up of cool and interesting books on eBay. Want in on this? email me.
- flying-donut (who just celebrated his 10,000th feedback) is selling a nice copy of the Iron Man 89 30 Cent Variant. That's one of those 30 centers that's tough to spot. Get yours from one of the best sellers on eBay.
- fleepunyhumans is selling Showcase 27 CGC 9.2 featuring the first appearance of the Sea Devils. That's a cool book.
- I might have owned and sold about 300 copies of this book, but I still get excited when I see something like this: DAREDEVIL #168 CGC 9.8 NM+/Mint (1st Elektra) WHITE pgs. It took a while for a 9.8 to surface.
