Heritage Auctions Weekly Online Comics, Animation And Art Auctions Expand Into Two-Day Format

February 07, 2020

Steady growth and the opportunity to reach a wider audience have prompted Heritage Auctions to change the format of its Weekly Comics, Animation and Comic Art online auctions into two-day events. Under the new format, comic books will be offered on Sundays in each weeks sale. Original art, animation art and video games will be offered on Mondays. The new format will allow auction sessions to finish earlier, a benefit that will be particularly appealing to collectors in later time zones. We made this change to address the one downside of having so much quality material, namely that the live sessions had been ending a bit too late in the evening, stated Heritage Auctions vice president Barry Sandoval. Of course, as always, bidders can place their secret maximum bids anytime during the preceding week. The weekly online comics auctions have enjoyed success in recent years, totaling $18,901,941 in 2019, an average of $363,000 per week. That included a record $573,095 realized in the Sunday Internet Comics, Animation and Art auction that closed March 3, 2019. To learn more, visit www.HA.com.
