THERE'S A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR AFTER HERITAGE'S LATEST AUCTION!

Dallas, Texas: "It's the week before Thanksgiving, and we have quite a lot to be thankful for right now," said John Petty, Director of Auctions for Heritage Comics Auction's (HCA) of Dallas, Texas.

"Our latest sale, held in conjunction with WizardWorld's first Texas show, was a resounding success, realizing well over $4 million, and that's without after auction sales, which we expect to be extremely brisk."

"We had strong participation from all bidding segments," Petty continued, "with well-attended floor sessions and strong phone participation, but by far the most successful bidders were those that placed their bids via our website at www.HeritageComics.com. With over 1,500 website bidders and nearly $1.7 million in successful website bids, this seems to be the way to get those items you really want."

Some highlights of the sale include:

A one-sheet for "The Babe Comes Home" (First National, 1927)
