OCTOBER GOLDEN AGE EVENT AUCTION

Welcome to Sparkle City's first Event Auction. We plan on having a few Golden Age Event Auction's every year which will feature a wide array of rare and high grade CGCs from 1934 to 1955. The October Event Auction will consist of 2 sessions and will last 10 days. There is something here for just about every golden age collector as auction estimates range for $500 to over $30,000. Have fun bidding and good luck in the auction.

Detective Comics #31 CGC 4.0 All-time Classic Cover 3rd Batman Cover OW/WHITE

Considered by many as maybe the best Batman cover of all-time, this classic cover by Bob Kane features a larger than life image of Batman in the night rising behind a castle on a lonely hill. This unforgettable image is just one of the reasons this issue is so high on just about every Dark Night and golden age collector's list. Another reason is the fact that this is only Batman's 3rd cover appearance and this issue is the first the the Batp[lane appears. A strong majority of the known copies are restored so having a solid unrestored copy at auction with off-white to white pages is a rare treat. Demand for pre_robin tecs is at an allt-ime high and we expected a frenzy of bidding. Auction estimate is $25,000 +

Highlights from the Latest Heritage Signature Auction Part 1

Twin Cities Books

The Atom #3 Twin Cities pedigree (DC, 1962) CGC NM 9.4

If you've read any of these you know of my affinity for green covers.

Wonder Woman #178 Twin Cities pedigree (DC, 1968) CGC NM+ 9.6

Green psychedelic covers? Where do those sit on my personal scale? Pretty damn high.

The Avengers #57 Twin Cities pedigree (Marvel, 1968) CGC NM/MT 9.8

I'm cool with this book. It's got a lot going for it. The Vision is a cool character (he's one of "my" Avengers,) the Spectre homage is cool and who doesn't love the Avengers?

Batman #200 Twin Cities pedigree (DC, 1968) CGC NM/MT 9.8

This is a dopey cover AND I LOVE IT.

Batman #227 Twin Cities pedigree (DC, 1970) CGC NM/MT 9.8

This is the complete opposite of a dopey cover. CLEARLY.

Silver Age

Action Comics #252 (DC, 1959) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Cream to off-white pages

A fun book to me.

Adventure Comics #247 (DC, 1958) CGC VF/NM 9.0 Off-white to white pages

I want this to be a hot book. I don't know why.

The Amazing Spider-Man #28 (Marvel, 1965) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white pages

What's the value here? We saw $15,000 for Pacific Coast 3-4 years ago. This book boggles my (non-Spider-Man collecting) mind.

The Amazing Spider-Man #50 (Marvel, 1967) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages

Here's a Spider-man book I'd actually want to own although at the price this will get, I'm not sure I'd want to pony up for this one.

Detective Comics #327 (DC, 1964) CGC NM/MT 9.8 White pages

Look at this thing:

The Flash #105 (DC, 1959) CGC NM 9.4

I don't know why I've never actively collected Flash books. I've always been focusing on something else I guess. Great book.

Showcase #4 The Flash – Bethlehem pedigree (DC, 1956) CGC VF/NM 9.0

There it is, one of my favorite books ever.


Stay tuned, hopefully I'll find time for Part 2 and 3 before this auction goes off.

Sold For: US $11,500.00 Seller: neverturnyourbackonamonster ( 483 )

This is 'The couch' by Jeffrey Jones, oils on stretched canvas, nicely framed, huge painting, 1992. A magical painting with a bit of attitude. It is in near perfect condition.

The Painting:

Five for Friday (Jim Starlin, Ed McGuinness, Ashley Wood, All Select #11, Avengers #93)

1974 JIM STARLIN CAPTAIN MARVEL #30 PG. 23 COMIC ART

You know I love Starlin's Marvel cosmic comics. I'll always share.

Ashley Wood – Popbot Original Painting

Ash Wood is so much fun. His art is great.

Ed McGuinness! Iron Man! She-Hulk! Hulk! Shield! Wow!

Dynamic! It's not even an action page but Ed McGuiness just does dynamic in his sleep.

All Select #11 Blonde Phantom Cover High Grade- Timely

Always a favorite book.

Avengers #93 CGC 9.4 Neal Adams Marvel Captain America

Another favorite and I don't feature enough bronze age books here. Rectified.
