Heritage Comics Website Grows To 7,000 Registered Members!

Dallas, Texas: Heritage Comics Auctions is pleased to announce that membership in its on-line community has recently topped 7,000 after just over a year of operation. While HeritageComics.com is a free website, taking the extra step to become a member of HCA (which is also free, and requires only a few minutes to register) entitles members to bid on-line in both Signature sales, and internet-only Amazing Comics Auctions™. Members also receive a weekly e-newsletter, updates on important happenings in Heritage Comics, access to Heritage’s Permanent Auction Archive (including prices realized), plus 20% rebates on CGC submissions.

This 7,000-member milestone takes place just as Heritage prepares to hold its October 10-13 Signature auction, which features over $5 million worth of rare comics, original art, movie posters, comic collectibles, and most notably, the exclusive Nicolas Cage collection of comic books, as well as multiple items from Stan Lee’s personal collection.

“This is great news for us, because it shows we are providing members what they are looking for, not just in our merchandise, but also with the features on our website,” said Jeff Smith, Heritage Comics’ Assistant Director of Auctions. “We believe our numbers have increased so quickly because of the diversity of collectibles we are now offering, and because we are working hard to make it convenient for bidders, whether they can attend the auction in person, live on the phone, or placing bids ahead of time on the Internet or by TeleBid™.”

Heritage Comics conducts at least three multi-million-dollar live “Signature” comics and original art auctions per year. Bidders can participate online in Signature auctions as well. Amazing Comics Auctions™ (ACA), Heritage’s Internet-only venue, runs continuously at www.HeritageComics.com, with a new sale beginning the first Sunday of every month. Bids are also accepted via 1-866-TELEBID, Heritage’s toll-free automated telephone bidding service.

Those interested in consigning to ACA or live Signature auctions are invited to visit a special section on HCA's website http://www.heritagecomics.com/auctions/consigning.asp, or call John Petty at 214-252-4392 or email Auctions@HeritageComics.com.

HCA specializes in rare, high-grade comic books, as well as vintage comic and animation art, illustration art, movie posters and comics-related collectibles.
