Steve Ditko - Original Art for Amazing Spider-Man #10, Complete 22 page story (Marvel, 1964).
In 1962, Stan Lee created a new vision for a super-hero, never tried before, called Spider-Man. For the first time in comic book history a heroic character would be so infused with the real problems and neuroses of an angst-ridden teenager that the readership began to relate to the character as if the fictional events were actually happening to them. Jack Kirby, Marvel's ace, turned in a few initial pages that Lee deemed, "too heroic." He then handed the book to Steve Ditko who injected a simpler everyman quality into the book's imagery. The end result was a smash. A comics revolution was born with reverberations still being felt today, forty years later, as the
Spider-Man
film that recently opened broke every box office record in the book. This awe-inspiring, 22 page story, is one of the earliest complete
Spider-Man
stories ever brought to auction. The page one splash alone is enough to get your spider-senses tingling: a huge classic image of Spider-Man, apparently defeated, against the might of the evil Enforcers. Ditko's line and brush work are just breathtaking. Every page displays the excitement of a master craftsman, at the zenith of his abilities, clearly cranking on all cylinders with a heap of enthusiasm for his work. This story, written and conceived by Stan Lee at the very peak of his powers, has everything you could possibly want in a Spider-Man epic. We heard this was one of Stan "The Man" Lee's favorite stories, so we emailed him and got the following quote: "Why is issue #10 one of my all time favorites? I was hoping you'd ask. First of all, it's one of the greatest examples of Steve Ditko's inimitable art, showing why he's the legend he is. Next, the human interest. Picture Aunt Many at death's door while Peter is involved in one of comicdom's most dramatic love tangles. Then there's the unforgettable sequence in which J. Jonah Jameson finally lets us kno

The Earliest Known Mickey Mantle Batting Trophy.
We have all seen those science fiction movies in which the protagonist goes back in time and changes one seemingly minor thing, only to find that this action derails the proper course of events and sets another in motion, changing everything forever. And so, as we consider this rather modest looking trophy, we wonder what the baseball world would be like if it had never existed. Suppose a nineteen-year old kid from small town Oklahoma named Mickey Mantle had chosen basketball instead, or settled for a life in the mines as his father had. Millions upon millions of young baseball fans would have had to search for a new idol to worship, but nobody could have been quite the same, quite as good. Had this trophy never existed, then neither would have the love and devotion that brought grown men to tears at the mere sight of Mickey decades after he hung up his spikes. And who knows if the Yanks would have earned those twelve pennants and seven World Championship rings? The legend of the Mick, one of the two or three greatest names in the history of our National Pastime, begins here.
Though Mickey Mantle's rookie season was 1951, few fans know that the Mick actually traveled with the Yankees for the final two weeks of the 1950 season, though he didn't play. Mickey's fielding that season had been sub-par to be sure, miscast in the roll of shortstop for the Joplin (Missouri) Yankees of the Class C Western Association, where he committed an average of one error every two games at the position. But it was his batting that made the Big League team take notice, as he improved from an impressive .313 average in 1949 to an outstanding .383 in his second, the figure for which he was awarded both this trophy and the opportunity to make the Bronx his home. "I never saw a player with greater promise," Yankees manager Casey Stengel told the press, "He should lead the league in everything. With his combination of speed and power he shou

George Sosnak Folk Art Baseball, Signed by Mickey Cochrane.
Perhaps only Leroy Neiman's name is more recognizable to collectors when it comes to the field of sports art. And while the styles of these two celebrated artists couldn't be more different, their love and appreciation for the subjects of their work is evident. George Sosnak began his career in baseball as an umpire of military games in Germany after the Second World War, later attending umpiring school in Florida, where he called balls and strikes at Detroit Tigers Spring Training games. It was around this time that Sosnak began to develop his distinctive folk art style, characterized by charmingly crude figures and painstakingly rendered text and statistics applied with almost mathematical precision. It has been estimated that the examples of Sosnak's art baseballs number in the low hundreds, and so it is quite an event that we are able to present eight here for the enjoyment of our bidding clientele. We invite you to pick your favorite-it will be a tough decision to make.
Wonderful work by this celebrated folk artist is made all the more appealing by the presence of a 6/10 side panel signature from the subject it celebrates. Aside from this coveted autograph, the theme is standard Sosnak, with a Hall of Fame plaque, another great portrait (actually an action scene!) and endless miniature text and statistics. The early work is signed "Geo. H. Sosnak, '62." A thin coating of shellac has served very well to maintain the condition of the artwork.

The Fearless Vampire Killers (MGM, 1967).
Australian One Sheet (27" X 40"). Hey, don't get us wrong, we love the US style B one sheet- but this Australian poster, which copies the US sheet, is actually better! The poster was printed using zinc plate lithography (unlike the US which used offset) and the colors absolutely glow. Sharon Tate never looked better and the artwork under Tate and Ferdy Mane was executed by the legendary Frank Frazetta. If all of that isn't enough, know that this witty, tongue-in-cheek comedy was directed to perfection by Roman Polanski- the only film the director was to make with his bride. One minor tear in the left border keeps this poster from grading Mint. Very Fine/Near Mint.

Robert Crumb - Original Art for HUP #9, Complete 10-page Story, "He's a Natural Man!" (Last Gasp, 1989).
This is a complete, ten page Mr. Natural story by Robert Crumb, which stars two of his most recognizable characters, Devil Girl and Flakey Foont. Flakey Foont tells Mr. Natural that he is obsessed with Cheryl Borck, a.k.a. Devil Girl, and wants to go find her. Of course, the Devil Girl is already there, and is madly in love with Mr. Natural. This story is full of all of the classic Crumb images, the type that could only be published in Underground comix. When seen up close, it is apparent exactly how much time he puts into every single panel. The art conveys all of the character's emotions in a way that no other artist has ever been able to duplicate. When originally printed in

1898 50C PR67 Deep Cameo NGC.
This coin is in many ways prototypical of what a Barber coin "should look like" to many collectors, although precious few examples actually do. The deep frost on all devices, with nary a break on front and back, shows a "silver on black" contrast against the optimally reflective fields. The strike is bold, providing a superb, intimate level of detail to the Charles Barber design that collectors either love, or love to despise. The lack of prominent die polishing marks and high Cameo contrast marks this coin as almost certainly an early strike from the proof die. The only mentionable quibble that appears under magnification are a couple of lint marks hiding under the eagle's left (facing) wing. A Superb Gem, and a superbly collectible representative of the type or date. Census: 5 in 67, 2 finer (12/05).

1889 25C MS68 PCGS.
This is the first time we have ever offered a PCGS certified MS68 example of this date. Of course, this is the only one certified. In fact, very few Seated Liberty quarter dollars of any date have been graded MS68 by PCGS. The total population can be summarized by simply stating that PCGS has graded one example of each of the following dates: 1838, 1857, 1864, 1877, 1879, 1881, and 1889. This sensational Superb Gem specimen is certain to please the connoisseur, whether he or she be a date collector, a type collector, or someone who simply loves beautiful coins. The surfaces on each side are satiny and ever so slightly reflective with highly lustrous devices. Just a trace of gold toning is present at or near the borders on each side, and otherwise this is a fully brilliant coin.
Just 12,000 were struck for circulation, although most probably did not actually circulated. In his
Complete Encyclopedia,
Walter Breen stated that this issue was extensively hoarded, and he then referenced his own
Proof Encyclopedia,
suggesting that the extensive hoarding activities were among proofs and not business strikes. From 1879 through 1890, quarter dollars and half dollars were produced in extremely limited quantities due to the Bland-Allison Act. It was this Congressional Act that mandated extensive production of silver dollars (the now popular Morgan dollar) and had all of the mints essentially doing nothing else. Dimes were not so much affected simply because they were still needed as small change. Quarters and half dollars the least in demand at the time, so these were the denominations that suffered (to our benefit today).

Lee Elias - Original Cover Art for Chamber of Chills #24 (Harvey, 1951).
This is actually the fourth issue of the title as the numbering sequence changed to #5 with the next issue. Lee Elias was one of Harvey's most prolific artists during the 1940s and '50s. While he is best remembered for his work on the Black Cat stories, it is his work on the horror tales that really showcased his superior artistic ability. The psychological insights to his characters were engagingly conveyed by his dynamic figures and facial expressions. This cover art is so filled with all of the elements that true horror fans loved -- a beautiful woman in bondage, the mad scientist with all of his props, shrunken people in glass jars, and the creature in a cage with the tell-tale skeletal remains! Elias' careful attention to composition and detail is just a joy to look at. This cover was hand signed by Elias at the bottom of the image. Heritage Comics has had this awesome piece professionally restored so as to present it in a way that best reflects the original intent of the artist. The very top left part of the title mast area is a replaced stat as is the 4 and "DEC." in the cover date area. The text box at the bottom left corner has been applied to a small clear overlay from the left edge so that the fantastic art beneath can still be appreciated. This great piece is in excellent condition and measures 12.5" x 18.75".

Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers - Original Art Panel Page from Strange Tales #99, page 16 (Marvel, 1962).
Jack Kirby may be the single most important comic artist of all time. He was certainly one of the most prolific ever. He was instrumental in bringing about the "Marvel Age of Comics" with Stan Lee and helped create some of the most recognizable characters ever. His work on the "pre hero" Marvel titles are some of the most desirable comics around. This is a splendid example of that work. It is the last page to "The Day before Doomsday" story and exhibits all of the qualities that fans have loved for decades. The miniature landscapes, technological renderings, explosive panels and emotional facial expressions are all present. Aside from the obvious merits of his artwork, a Kirby page is just plain fun to look at. This page is actually signed by Jack Kirby in the last panel. This a very clean piece with minor staining along the bottom margin. The page measures approximately 13.5"x21".

John Byrne and Terry Austin - X-Men #138 Cover Original Art (Marvel, 1980).
This cover packed a powerful emotional punch for every Marvel fan who saw it, as it came on the heels of the shocking death of Jean Grey in the previous issue. Scott Summers, aka Cyclops, opts to take a leave of absence from the X-Men in the story, but not before the readers share his poignant reminiscence about the X-Men's early years and Scott's love for Jean. In addition to its significance in terms of the storyline, this piece is notable for depicting all of the surviving original X-Men (Angel, Beast and Iceman in addition to Cyclops) along with the new team. In the final art, the covers of numerous past issues of
X-Men
were printed behind the figures, adding to the sense of history communicated in the story. You can see John Byrne's cover suggestions in pencil, just above the figures of Professor X and company. A little-known aspect of the issue's history is that in the original version of #137 Jean Grey did not die, and Byrne actually penciled a version of #138 that began with a romantic interlude between Jean and Scott. But according to lore, Marvel editor Jim Shooter decreed that #137 had to end with Jean being punished for her crimes, which resulted in the end of #137 and the beginning of #138 being re-drawn. And the rest is comic book history. Now, the issue stands as a watershed moment in the history of the new X-Men, as the Phoenix saga which had dominated the book for several years was brought to a close, and a new era began in this story, with young Kitty Pryde arriving at Professor Xavier's school to begin her tutelage as an X-Man. This image represents Byrne and Terry Austin at their best, and their best was powerful stuff indeed! The image area measures 10" x 15" and the work is in Excellent condition. The logo, masthead, and title type are recent photocopy replacement art. A copy of the published comic is included with this lot.

Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers - Fantastic Four #12, Splash Page 14 Original Art (Marvel, 1963).
Jack Kirby's love for science and science fiction infused each of his yarns with mind-boggling concepts and machines, later dubbed "Kirbytech." The Fantastic Four often used their super-powers to tweak Reed Richards' inventions; the Thing served as a human hoist or nearly invulnerable test pilot, the Human Torch acted as a living welding torch, and Reed himself would stretch his fingers into nearly inaccessible places to wire together his gizmos. The Fantastic Four were at the forefront of America's technological advances in the sixties -- anything seemed possible! The Navy actually tested Transonic rocket sleds at China Lake,California. General "Thunderbolt" Ross, the Hulk's antagonist, co-starred in panel one. Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers set the pace for the early Marvel masterworks and this splash is a doozy.

1921-31 "Shoeless" Joe Jackson Barnstorming Game Used Bat.
It took the loss of Lou Gehrig to offer to the baseball world a story more tragic than that of Shoeless Joe, an illiterate laborer from Pickens County, South Carolina who left the dirt farms of his youth to become one of the game's greatest stars, and then lost it all in an instant. We may never know exactly how much Jackson understood, and how much he actually participated in the Black Sox scandal that resulted in the loss of the 1919 World Series and his banishment forever from Major League Baseball, but we can be certain that he was one of the most gifted athletes ever to find his way onto a Big League ballfield. Ty Cobb himself called Shoeless Joe "the finest natural hitter in the history of the game," and the great Babe Ruth echoed this sentiment, stating that "he's the guy that made me a hitter." Despite this highest of praise, the harsh ruling of Judge Landis was a weight that Jackson carried for the rest of his days, and he still does, perhaps forever locked out of the gates of Cooperstown.
Of course Joe Jackson's baseball career didn't end entirely as a result of the scandal, though the venues showcasing his remarkable talents changed from 40,000 seat stadiums to weed-choked sandlots in towns with forgotten names. The fame and the money now gone, Jackson would continue appearing on the barnstorming circuit for twenty years, until the age of fifty, which would suggest that he really did play for the love of the game, and that the lure of easy money did not overshadow his competitive spirit that dark October. "God knows I gave my best in baseball at all times," Jackson is quoted as saying, "and no man on earth can truthfully judge me otherwise."
Presented here is a remarkable artifact dating from the early years of Jackson's excommunication from organized ball, his trusted signature model Hillerich & Bradsby in his famous two-toned "Black Betsy" style. In a sad development, the famous bat ma

Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $1,900. CGC census 9/05: 7 in 9.6, 2 higher.

Roberto Clemente 1968-70 Game-Used Bat
It's only natural that Clemente, from Puerto Rico, and Manny Sanguillen, from Panama, would have ended up good buddies in the Pittsburgh Pirates clubhouse, so when the Hall of Fame outfielder asked to try Manny's bat, Sanguillen was happy to oblige. Well, it was love at first swing. This teepee model Adirondack Big Stick 129X was actually sent by Clemente back to the bat factory, who stamped "R. Clemente" over "M. Sanguillen" on the barrel and returned it for Roberto's use. And use it he did! The barrel is coated with dark half moons of ball marks, deeply imbedded stitch marks, and scattered gouges from Clemente's spikes. Amazingly, the bat is uncracked. Number "21" is in marker on each end in the correct handwritten font. There is no question that this was one of this Pirates legend's favorite bats -- he chose it personally and went to great lengths to make it his own. And he had his good friend and teammate, Manny Sanguillen, to thank for it. Measures 36", at a weight of 36.5 ounces. LOA from Dan Knoll & Dave Bushing/SCD Authentic.

1900-S 10C MS66 PCGS.
If you are a coin enthusiast like those of us in the cataloging department here at Heritage, you are going to love this coin. Take a look at the impressive die cracks all around the obverse, especially through Liberty's neck, just above the date. The reverse has additional die cracks, as well as peripheral die rust. What a delightful coin for the die state specialist. It is almost surprising that the San Francisco Mint actually continued to use this die, for it almost seems to be past the end of its usable life.
This Gem quality specimen is sharply struck, as are nearly all of the Duckor Barber Dimes, with exceptional definition on both sides. The surfaces have frosty mint luster, the obverse lightly toned with peripheral gold color, and the reverse fully brilliant. The mintmark has a doubled serif at the upper right. Population: 5 in 66, 1 finer (11/05).
From the Collection of Dr. Steven L. Duckor.

Miss America Magazine V1#3 Mile High pedigree (Timely, 1944) Condition: NM-.
These comics are
delightful
, and we almost never see any issue in any grade, so having the Mile High is amazing! The point of greatest significance is that this is the second appearance of Patsy Walker. In addition to the full-color comic section (which also has two Miss America 7-pagers) this 64-page comic "for teen-age girls about teen-age girls" has plenty of black-and-white content too. There's advice, fashion, paper dolls, and plenty of breathless Hollywood stuff including photos of Shirley Temple, Frank Sinatra, and many others. What we thought was a photo cover at first glance is actually a painting by Louise Altson! We thought it interesting that Jean Goodman (wife of Martin) was listed as editor. This book's cover's so fresh and the pages so nice that anyone who loves Timely will love it as much as we do. Overstreet 2006 NM- 9.2 value = $640.

Ren and Stimpy - Original Animation Cell from Space Madness (Nickelodeon 1992).
Who doesn't love Ren and Stimpy? John Kricfalusi's wild dog 'n' cat characters set the animation world on their collective ear with this innovative series back in the early 1990s. And no cartoon from that wonderful program has more appeal than "Space Madness!" Here's a rare chance to own a production cell with the original hand-painted background from this remarkable short. This scene has Stimpy hard at work, while Ren covets his "beloved ice-cream bar" (actually, it's a bar of soap, but then, Ren has

Doris Doscher Photographs and Memorabilia.
This intriguing lot contains sixteen photographs, two newspaper clippings (one is actually a photocopy), a complete 1961 copy of the magazine
American Vegetarian-Hygienist,
and a 1928 love letter from Ms. Doscher's husband with interesting content. These items were found in the effects of her husband, Dr. Herman William Baum, M.O. Ph.C. Ms. Doscher lived with Dr. Baum in New York City. He had an office near 5th Avenue and was a well-respected naturopathic/allopathic physician.
Doris Doscher has been written about extensively in the numismatic press. Several pages of background information about her long and interesting life is included in Jay Cline's 1976 book on the Standing Liberty Quarter series. The consignor summed up Doris Doscher's life and importance in a letter to Heritage, where she stated, "Ms. Doscher, the lady on the quarter, is described variously throughout her life as a physical culturist, lecturer, columnist, counselor, nurse, actress, model, poet, teacher, mother and housewife. In the 1970s, after Ms. Doscher's death, there erupted some discussion as to whether Ms. Doscher actually did model for the quarter, when a woman claiming to be the true model stepped forward. The enclosed articles appear to confirm that Ms. Doscher is the true "Miss Liberty," without dispute.
"Hermon A. MacNeil, who designed the 'Liberty Quarter,' was already working with Ms. Doscher when he chose her as his model for his entry in the U.S. government's contest for a new design for the twenty-five cent piece. Ms. Doscher suggests that she worked with Mr. MacNeil on the actual coin design. Please refer to the interview with the model, on page 6 of the enclosed 'American Vegetarian-Hygienist,' in which she described the deeper meaning and significance of the pose denoted on the quarter.
"Mr. MacNeil said that he chose Ms. Doscher because she exemplified "the highest type of American womanhood....A couple of the photograph

George Sosnak Folk Art Baseball, Signed by Mickey Cochrane.
Perhaps only Leroy Neiman's name is more recognizable to collectors when it comes to the field of sports art. And while the styles of these two celebrated artists couldn't be more different, their love and appreciation for the subjects of their work is evident. George Sosnak began his career in baseball as an umpire of military games in Germany after the Second World War, later attending umpiring school in Florida, where he called balls and strikes at Detroit Tigers Spring Training games. It was around this time that Sosnak began to develop his distinctive folk art style, characterized by charmingly crude figures and painstakingly rendered text and statistics applied with almost mathematical precision. Wonderful work by this talented folk artist is made all the more appealing by the presence of a 6/10 side panel signature from the subject it celebrates. Aside from this coveted autograph, the theme is standard Sosnak, with a Hall of Fame plaque, another great portrait (actually an action scene!) and endless miniature text and statistics. The early work is signed "Geo. H. Sosnak, '62." A thin coating of shellac has served very well to maintain the condition of the artwork.

Sal Trapani - Original Cover Art for Falling In Love #90 (DC, 1966).
How can any original art collection be complete without a piece of DC romance artwork? Contrary to popular belief romance books were actually a force to contend with during the 50s and 60s. This is a nice broken-heart rejection cover, a theme that was all too common on these titles. A very clean page with bold lines and very minimal white-out, this piece is a fond reminder of days gone by. Don't put up with that glaring gap in your collection any longer! This is the piece that can make it complete. This page measures 14" x 22".

1938 Babe Didrikson Handwritten Letter.
The greatest female athlete of the twentieth century, the gifted Babe pens a charming personal note to her folks back home in Beaumont, Texas. She references the sport for which she's best known, "I have been playing a lot of golf..." and actually writes the letter on Brentwood (CA) Country Club letterhead, where she clearly spent a great deal of time. The remainder of the letter discusses family friends, and is signed "Lotsa love, Y.B.G. [Your Baby Girl?], Babe." The single page of correspondence remains in stellar NRMT condition, with neither the paper nor the ink showing any sign of age or wear. The included mailing envelope is equally intriguing, as the legendary athlete signs her most desirable "Babe Didrikson" autograph in the return address field, then adds another signed surname as she writes her parents' names in the forwarding address field. Vintage tape repairs to the upper left corner of the envelope nip at each edge of Babe's signature, but do not obscure it from view in any way.

Ray Osrin (attributed) - Supercar #4 Cover Original Art (Gold Key, 1963).
The Supercar is under attack from enemies on the ground and in the air -- will pilot Mike Mercury save the day? What do you think?! The Supercar was designed by the late Reg Hill for Gerry Anderson's 1960-62 Supermarionation TV series. It had eight rockets which, like its retractable wings, were electronically operated and could be controlled from afar, using a special remote-control device. When on land, or travelling roadways, Supercar didn't actually touch the ground, but instead hovered just off the surface. A periscope was used when it was necessary to dive under water. Aside from radar and sonar, the Supercar had a "Clear View" device which, via a cockpit display screen, allowed the pilot to see through such visual weather obstructions as clouds and storms. "Supercar" was the show that set the mold for all the Anderson productions that followed, including "Fireball XL-5," "Thunderbirds," Stingray," and "Captain Scarlet."This beautifully streamlined design will make a spectacular wall piece for any Gerry Anderson Supermarionation aficionado, or any collector of beautiful painted original art. The image area is 13" x 17.5". The surface has seven "pulls" around the edges where tape was removed, but these do little to detract from the central image; otherwise the art is in Very Good condition. Supermarionation is go!
From the collection of Richard and Wendy Pini. Richard says: "I've already mentioned my love of the 'Supercar' series from when I was young. I spent years trying to find whatever 'Supercar' memoribilia I could, and there wasn't much to be had. When I found this vibrant painting from the cover of the first issue of the Dell comics series, I got a serious case of big-eye and snapped it up. (I also earned the vociferous envy of other 'Supercar' collectors when the word got out.)"
