You thought I was going to start somewhere else? I don't care what anyone else thinks… To me this page is the best piece of comic art from the 1980s I've ever seen for sale and is one of the best possible pages from the entire decade. Simply amazing.

With a bit of excitement growing over the Twin Cities books, I updated the Silver Age Pedigree Keys list.
As always, let me know if you've got an info on any of the books and pedigrees listed.
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.
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.
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.
One of the all-time classic covers.
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.

I was looking through the Photo-Journal Guide To Comics the other day and I noticed that Adventure 113 was a Christmas themed cover.
This being the season I thought it would be cool to share a few more Christmas themed covers from back in the day. A little while spent thumbing through the guides and a bit of searching at the Heritage archives later, I present these ten. Hope you enjoy this little tour of comics (holiday) history.
It's Daredevil #1 month, apparently.
I have no real info on the 9.8, other than what everyone else has. I will tell you it's on the $100,000 club list.
Failing a scan of the 9.8, here are scans of the three 9.6s for sale right now so we can all compare and contrast.
For my money, this is the best copy of the bunch. All three are nice, solid copies, but this one just looks like a jaw-dropper. Assuming there's been no slab damage (it is an old holder) this would be the one I'd be going for if I were bidding on one of these babies.
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:
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!

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:
Thoughts?
I've been buying Silver/Bronze Age Daredevils again. High grade. Pedigrees where available.
I just got this in the mail
I've never seen this book before and the Church copy no less.
