Heritage to Offer GPAnalysis Information to Members!

Dallas, TX: Beginning with their current Signature auction (#816), Heritage Comics Auctions (HCA) will offer complete GPAnalysis information for the CGC-certified comics in their auctions to their on-line community of over 29,000 members, bringing real world pricing and analysis to their buying decisions. GPAnalysis reports eBay sales and Heritage Auction results, together with data from other major auction houses and dealer reports for CGC-certified comic books.

"Heritage subscribers can get a historical snapshot of prices for specific CGC books on offer through Signature and Amazing Comic Auctions, giving them invaluable pricing information," says Dirk van der Gaag, GPAnalysis' co-founder.

"It's a world first as far as comics is concerned," added Jim Halperin, Heritage's Co-Chairman. "Most auction houses give estimates or guide price ranges; Heritage and GPA now offer bidders actual historical prices during live auctions."

Buyers can see last price, 90-day and 12-month averages for books, directly from each auction page. Subscribers to GPAnalysis enjoy even further information: they can drill down and analyze individual sales, access trend charts, and utilize live auction links and specialized market reports.

To use the service, Heritage members can logon to the Heritage Comics website at HeritageComics.com and click on the "CGC Value Guide" from within any live auction to get GPA pricing in an instant.

"This is another service that Heritage is proud to offer to our members," continued Halperin, "in addition to discounts on their CGC-submissions, free weekly newsletters, access to our exclusive Permanent Auction Archives and MyWantList services, and more. Interested collectors who are not members of Heritage's on-line community can sign up for free at HeritageComics.com, and can start taking advantage of all these exciting features right away."

For more information about Heritage's auctions, and a complete record of prices realized, along with full-color, enlargeable photos of each lot, please visit HeritageComics.com.
