Now Featured at
Heritage: The Calvin Slobodian Collection |
|
Calvin Slobodian
began collecting in 1954 when he was 12 years old and kept his
comics with great care.
He began selling comics in the early 1960's. He was a mathematics
teacher for 17 years while he was also selling and collecting
comics. He decided to quit teaching in 1983 and become a full-time
comic dealer. However, he was still mainly a comic collector, so
whenever he obtained comics to sell he would keep the higher-grade
copy for his collection and sell the lower-grade copy. This made
for an excellent, high-grade personal collection! Mr. Slobodian is
selling his personal collection now in order to purchase a house
and semi-retire.
This week’s auction alone has a whopping 99 books from the
collection! You can browse all of them
here.

Rare Mother Goose, Wizard of Oz, The
Klondike Kid, Stagecoach movie posters at Heritage
Auctions
A collector favorite — the coveted one sheet movie poster
for the 1931 classic Cimarron (est. $50,000+), bursting
with color and boasting provenance to the storied Berwick Discovery
— could take top lot honors in Heritage Auctions' Vintage Movie Posters Signature
Auction July 25-26 in Dallas. The auction's nearly 1,000 famous
movie posters are punctuated by several fresh-to-market collections
from around the globe.
"Our summer movie poster auctions are known for rarities, but this
season we have several private collections that haven't been seen
in a generation or more," said Grey Smith, Director of Vintage
Posters at Heritage Auctions. "This is the perfect event for
collectors to pick up classic posters — many of which are in
surprisingly original, untouched condition."
The Cimarron one sheet came out of an attic in 2012 and was
found in a small country auction in Berwick, PA, with several other
posters stuck together with wallpaper paste, which had preserved
them for more than eight decades.
A style C one sheet for
Universal's 1936 film My Man Godfrey is one such
extremely well-preserved find poster. The rare and highly
significant one sheet rarely appears at auction and the art deco
infused style C version features artwork by the venerably Karoly
Grosz (est. $35,000+).
A one sheet for
Stagecoach, one of the hobby's rarest movie posters,
survives in rich, stone litho colors (est. $30,000+). Much like the
film, the poster perfectly captures John Ford's auteur as he
directed John Wayne to stardom in what is considered a classic
Western drama.
The auction also stars The Three Stooges across four, rare one
sheet finds and five collectible lobby cards. A scarce one sheet for Playing
the Ponies (est. $20,000+) will cross the block as will an
exceedingly rare silk
screened stock poster of the timeless comedy trio (est.
$6,000+).
An important collection of 60 animation-themed movie posters
includes a rare one sheet for The Klondike
Kid (est. $30,000+). The Mickey Mouse cartoon was
considered an instant classic when United Artists released it in
1932 and its poster is highly sought after for both its composition
and colorful depiction of the short's three main characters. A
larger than life three sheet stock poster
promoting Mickey Mouse dates to 1932 (est. $20,000) and a
scarce one sheet for RKO's cameo-packed
Mother Goose Goes Hollywood from 1938 (est. $15,000+) is
also another highlight.
A private collection of 40 rare Swedish one sheet posters encompass
some of the most breathtaking poster art ever used to promote film.
"Predominately from American films and many from the 1920s, it's a
true blessing many of these vintage posters have survived in such a
high grade, due to the notoriously fragile Swedish paper used in
that era," Smith said. "Many are sexy, sultry, and use amazing
imagery of stars and typography." The collection offers a poster
for The
Wizard of Oz (Fribergs Filmbyra, 1925) from the first and
only 1920s adaptation of the novel (est. $6,000+).
