Star Wars collectibles and a selection of rare vintage graded comic books dominated the list of top lots at Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Winter Comic Book and Toy auction extravaganza held Dec. 14, online and in the Cranston gallery at 63 Fourth Ave. in Cranston, R.I. This was the last big sale of the year for Bruneau & Co., which will hit the ground running with an active slate of sales in 2020. The Winter Comic Book and Toy Auction was a collaborative effort between Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers and Altered Reality Entertainment. The day was strong overall, and great stuff sold well. Star Wars proved to be a highly coveted topic of the day with nearly everything exceeding expectations and estimates, said Travis Landry, Bruneau & Co.s director of Pop Culture. Since its inception, Bruneau & Co. has partnered with Altered Reality Entertainment (the parent company of Rhode Island Comic Con) to organize toy, comic, and collectible auctions, bringing pop culture to a live auction setting. This auction featured hundreds of graded comics, generous key book lots, many Marvel and D.C. comics, and, of course, Star Wars items. Top achievers in the Star Wars category included a great example 1977 Kenner 12 back A Luke Skywalker figure, graded CAS 80, selling for $1,875, and a 1978 Kenner Cantina Adventure multi-pack with Greedo and Blue Snaggletooth (dented toe variant) figures, graded CAS 75+, selling for $2,250. They were housed in CAS cases. The comic sale was a great way to end the auction year for us. Comics proved again to be a necessary staple in the auction market. It draws a guaranteed crowd for sure, both online and in the gallery, according to Kevin Bruneau, the president of Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers.
