Press Release - September 3, 2002

Heritage and The Mint Set Auction Date and Time, and Release Preliminary List of Nicolas Cage Collection Comic Books with CGC Grades

Dallas, Texas - By now, every comics fan knows that the world-famous Nicolas Cage Comic Book Collection is being auctioned in Dallas by Heritage Comics Auctions and Jay Parrino’s The Mint. Today, Nicolas Cage’s advisor Ron Moore announced that the sale has been scheduled for 7pm CT on Thursday, October 10. “I wanted the Nicolas Cage Collection to be sold prior to Heritage’s Signature auction at the Dallas Comicon,” said Moore, “and there is no doubt that every major buyer planning to attend the Heritage event will happily fly in a day early for a collection of this stature. So, Thursday night seemed like ideal timing. I’m very pleased that Heritage and The Mint were able to obtain the facility at the Plano Convention Center and were willing to accommodate my wishes.”

While catalogers Matt Nelson, John Petty, Ed Jaster, Bill Hughes, Ron Moore, and others busily and lovingly research and describe each book, the two auctioneers have decided to pre-announce the CGC grades several weeks before the printed catalog will be available. “That will give potential bidders more time to decide how high to bid and where to allocate funds,” says Jim Halperin, Co-Chairman of Heritage.

The Nicolas Cage Collection auction will take place at the Plano Convention Center just north of Dallas, and will be immediately followed on October 11-13 by a 2,500-lot Heritage Signature auction of comic books, art, toys and movie posters.

The listing below has not been double-checked, and may not be 100% accurate, but is very close to final. It also does not include several Silver and Bronze Age bulk lots.

Images and lot descriptions for most of the items have been posted on the Future Auction Preview section of Heritage’s web site. For further information, or to purchase a printed sale catalog or register to bid, please visit www.HeritageComics.com or phone 214-252-4290.
