Heritage Comics Website Grows to 10,000 Registered Members!

Dallas, Texas: Heritage Comics Auctions is pleased to announce that membership in its on-line community has recently topped 10,000 after just over a year and a half of operation. While HeritageComics.com is a free website, taking the extra step to become a member of HCA (which is also free, and requires only a few minutes to register) entitles members to bid on-line in both Signature sales, and internet-only Amazing Comics Auctions™. Members also receive a weekly e-newsletter, updates on important happenings in Heritage Comics, access to Heritage’s Permanent Auction Archive (including prices realized), plus 20% rebates on CGC submissions.

This 10,000-member milestone takes place just as Heritage prepares to hold its March 6-9 Signature auction, which features over $5 million worth of rare comics, original art, movie posters, comic collectibles, and illustration art.

“Who would have thought we’d grown this fast!” said Jeff Smith, Heritage Comics’ Assistant Director of Auctions. As Jeff said just a few months ago when HeritageComics.com topped 7000 registered members, “We believe our numbers have increased so quickly because of the diversity of collectibles we are now offering, and because we are working hard to make it convenient for bidders, whether they can attend the auction in person, live on the phone, or placing bids ahead of time on the Internet or by TeleBid™.”

Heritage Comics conducts at least three multi-million-dollar live “Signature” comics and original art auctions per year. Bidders can participate online in Signature auctions as well. Amazing Comics Auctionsª (ACA), Heritage’s Internet-only venue, runs continuously at www.HeritageComics.com, with a new sale beginning the first Sunday of every month (and, beginning April 2003, the third Sunday as well). Bids are also accepted via 1-866-TELEBID, Heritage’s toll-free automated telephone bidding service.

Those interested in consigning to ACA or live Signature auctions are invited to visit a special section on HCA's website http://www.heritagecomics.com/auctions/consigning.asp, or call John Petty at 214-252-4392 or email Auctions@HeritageComics.com.

HCA specializes in rare, high-grade comic books, as well as vintage comic and animation art, illustration art, movie posters and comics-related collectibles.
