Marty Mann Marty Mann Up 20 words per minute since I signed up Registered: 07/08/11 Posts: 1069 Loc: Way in the past.	Does anyone know what the last year was that Sotheby's held a Comic Book Auction? I went to one in 1990 any really enjoyed it. Has Heritage Auction taken over this market? mm _________________________ I think I have the oldest, original owner GA collection on the boards.

John R John R Pedigreed Registered: 05/10/10 Posts: 5047 Loc: Canada	I was able to find some info on a 2000 comic auction but nothing beyond that, however Jerry Weist was Sotheby's consultant from 1990-2001 and so there may have even been one in 2001, however I was unable to find any info on it. _________________________ John R's Feedback

I remember the one in 1990...they had a lot of original ARCHIE artwork that the family put up, and was really getting some very high bids. It was a real class event! mm Edited by Marty Mann (04/05/12 07:11 PM) _________________________ I think I have the oldest, original owner GA collection on the boards.

TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 08/21/02 Posts: 10271 Loc: New York, NY	Ask and ye shall receive: Sotheby's First Bande Dessinée - Comics Auction To Be Held July 4, 2012 in Paris, France I'm guessing this sale will be mostly European BD comics and art, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sotheby's is testing the waters here and that a successful sale could lead to more comics/BD offerings down the line. _________________________ "No asset is so good that it can't become a bad investment if bought at too high a price." - Howard Marks Price is what you pay, value is what you get.
