First Prize Winner Announced in Latest Heritage Comics Survey Contest
Fred Willey wins $1,000 Auction CreditDALLAS, TEXAS:
Fred Willey told Heritage Comics (HCA) all about himself, and it netted him $1,000.
By filling out HCA’s latest collector’s survey, Mr. Willey of Del Mar, California, was entered into a drawing along with thousands of other respondents. On June 26, 2003, Willey’s name was drawn as the First Place winner, and was awarded a $1,000 auction credit to be used in any Heritage Auction. Five Second Prize winners were awarded the opportunity to auction up to $5,000 worth of comics with no seller’s fee, while 10 Third Prize winners received a $100 auction credit to the next HCA Signature Auction. All respondents received a coupon entitling them to auction one CGC-certified comic valued at over $1,000 for one-half the normal seller’s fee - a $75 value.
Heritage’s next survey closes August 10. To participate, please go to

"The survey is an important way for Heritage to keep in touch with collectors and keep on top of their interests and collecting habits," said Judy Brown, Heritage’s e-Commerce Specialist. "By filling out the survey and helping Heritage," continued Brown, "collectors are, of course, helping themselves, and the prize is an additional way of recognizing that."
