THE SAGINAW COLLECTION

Hailing from Saginaw Michigan, this original owner collections features complete runs of most major Marvel Titles in astonishing condition. Once collectors get their hands on these ultra high grade books, they will be amazed by the vivid deep colors on the covers and the white interior pages. When we first held these books, it became clear that this is what silver age marvels looked like the day they hit the newsstand. A young man bought everyone of these stunning comics from the same newsstand from 14 years old to 35 years old any read them once carefully and placed them inside plastic in groups of 10 and wrapped them tight. We had the honor of being the ones to open them this year. These early Marvels have not seen the light of day for almost 50 years. Unlike some of the other great Silver Age pedigree collections, the Saginaw collection will be offered on EBAY exclusively with No Reserve.

Superman Splash Page by Leinil Yu

I've always been a fan. One of my favorite inking samples from back when I did that stuff was over his pencils.

Batman by Michael Turner Original Ink Sketch RARE!

That's a great little head sketch and… you know I like to post Michael Turner pieces.

The MOST classic cover!!

FANTASTIC FOUR #73 CGC 9.8 HIGHEST GRADED vs AVENGERS

I love this cover, personally. Bone white, by the looks of it. I even like the date stamp. I'm not a date stamp hater, but that one seems almost well placed.

MYSTIC 7 CGC 3.5 (R) Classic Kirby Hitler ! 1st WITNESS

Not a book you see on eBay all that often.

MOPSY COMICS #1 CGC CENTRAL VALLEY PEDIGREE HIGHEST

And now… for something pretty random. That's a neat book.

Frank Miller and Klaus Janson Batman: The Dark Knight #3 Batman and Robin Iconic Splash Page 10 Original Art

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.

Captain America Comics 1 CGC 6.0R SS Stan Lee Joe Simon

Rob Says: I just want to point out that this makes my blood boil. I don't even know if Stan Lee was even working for Timely at this point. If he was, he had nothing to do with the creation of Captain America. So… having him sign a copy of this book is just vandalism and calling him a "creator" alongside Joe Simon is just another in a long line of insults aimed at the late, great Jack Kirby. Stan is great, don't get me wrong. I just hate the compound effect his own hype machine and the void left by Kirby's passing creates in the mind of the public.

The Book:

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.
