Description:

I'm new at this comic/toy stuff but I have an experienced comic guy helping me so questions welcome and will be answered to the best of our abilities. This is the original cover art for daredevil #127. The frame is still in good condition although there are some blemishes. The glass just needs to be cleaned which I will do before shipping it out.

The Book:

Looking at the The February 2011 Heritage Auction

It's that time again. Another killer Heritage auction is queued up for our bidding pleasure.

You know, no matter what the other auctions do the most exciting listings of the year are always Heritage's. That's just the reality.

This auction is no exception.

Let's look at some lots.

Archie Comics #1 (MLJ, 1942) CGC VF+ 8.5 White pages

Clearly the most exciting single comic in the auction for me. Early Archies are tough in high grade. This white paged beauty is about to lighten some lucky bidder's wallet in a big way.

John Byrne and Terry Austin X-Men #116 Cover Original Art

I've always liked this cover. It's a classic "comic book" cover. There's some Schomburg style danger and it's great tease to the story within. This is going to sell for many thousands of dollars.

Detective Comics #31 (DC, 1939) CGC GD+ 2.5 Off-white pages

One of the all-time classic covers.

Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Batman: The Dark Knight Returns #3 page 24 Original Art

Just seeing this page makes me want to read the whole book.

It's really interesting to see the adjustments that were made to the published page.

Happy Snow Day (The USPS Still Delivers)

I got this in the mail today:

I'm a big fan of the Englehart/Rogers run in general and the two-issue "laughing fish" arc in particular. One of these show up on Heritage and I figured- why not. Now I just need a nice #476.

Five For Friday (Superman #1, Batman #1, Conan #1 Art, Adventure 40, Unattributed Keown Art)

Hulk 371 pg20

He might make a few more bucks if he mentioned that it was by Dale Keown.

Superman #1 cgc 7.5 ext (P) OW/White 1939 Original copy

Sure, it's Extensive. Still… it's a Superman #1.

BARRY SMITH!!! Conan #1 page!!! Fight with demon!!!

Conan #1 art. That's super cool.

Adventure 40 cgc 8.0 Moderate (P) cr to ow pgs Sandman!

Tough, key Golden Age book. If it was more sought after it would be through the roof value-wise. Very tough to find.

Batman #1 1940 Golden Age..Nice!

I'm weird in that I think Batman #1 is undervalued. Sue me.

Some Highlights from the November 2010 ComicLink Auction

As a note, for me personally, this is one of the toughest auctions in recent memory in terms of knowing where to place my bids. I could probably bid on 50 books in this auction. I've got it narrowed down to probably six, but it's hard to choose.

Sigh.

Anyway, here are some other books that you should know about:

ARCHIE COMICS #1

Interested in an Archie #1? Just go all in right now. They're not going to get any cheaper. Go back in time and buy one five years ago.

And get a Pep #22 while you're at it.

Archie.

DAREDEVIL #1 NM+ 9.6 Curator

I'd like to see the 9.8, but… that sure is a pretty copy.

Based on the above listing the consignor of the Curator copy just got the 9.8. Upgrading from a 9.6, pedigree copy. How often does that happen?

Highlights from the Heritage November Signature Auction

This, of course, is the biggest book of the auction. Crazy that it could be a Bronze Age book but that's the hand we're dealt.

Not that I'm complaining. I'm a fan.

Anyway, on with the show:

Journey Into Mystery #106 White Mountain pedigree CGC NM 9.4 Off-white pages

There are several White Mountain books in this auction. Old labels even. Nice books. Here's hoping there's no SCS.

Let me use this opportunity to remind people that I would really, really, really, really like to buy white mountain Daredevils. Got any? Know where any are? Lemmeknow!

And the book:

Green Lantern #76 CGC 9.8 at Heritage. There Will Be (Bidding) Blood.

How close will this beauty push towards six figures?

Frighteningly close, I think. Pulling a number out of the air, I'm going to say $75,000.

It's okay if you need a minute to catch your breath.

Here's the book:
