“White Mountain” X-Men Run to Be Featured in February Heritage Auction

Heritage has announced an early highlight of its next Dallas Signature auction, February 26–27: the White Mountain pedigree run of The X-Men.

Issues #1–6, 8–10, most of the others through #40 and more will be included.

“The entire run was sold as one lot by a major auction house in 1991, and a very savvy collector snapped it up,” said Lon Allen, director of sales for the comics division of Heritage. “Not only have Silver Age prices gone way up in the meantime, the advent of CGC certification leads to more bidder confidence now than collectors had back then.”

A few of the books are still being certified, but thus far every one has received the “White pages” certification from CGC, with many being certified 9.4 and a few 9.6.

“The 9.2 copy of issue #4 is beautiful, and the 9.4 copies of #9, #10, and #15 are among the nicest existing copies of those issues,” Allen said. “Seen all at once, it’s an impressive run to say the least.”

Heritage will be accepting consignments for the auction through January 12, 2009.
