Arrived late to the HA of the Sack collection on Friday so missed much of it. Bid on the Death Rattle #2 cover when final warning was called at $1,100 but it ended closing at over $2k. Bid on the unpublished John Thompson cover up to $1k but it went higher. Bid on the Beck Odalesque painting at final warning at $2k, but then it went to $2.6k, that was the one I was really hoping for. So nothing going home with me. Sitting next to a guy who bought a $200k OA piece on one side and another who bought a Frazetta oil painting for a deal of a price of $55k (same guy who bought a bunch of Underground art including the Felch Williams story) makes you feel a bit out of place...

Yes, They actually had 3 different catalogs, the main one had some of the Underground stuff included it is also. The Eric Sack catalog and the red one that I don't think had any underground comix in it.

Yeah I ended up with all 3, but the Sack catalog is the keeper to me. The main OA catalog had censored items in it, and the red one is just comic books. I'm unclear as to your point above, though, as I think something is lost in translation or were you just cataloging the catalogs?

Yes, wasn't sure that you got all 3 for the auction or not and was just letting people know if they wanted to pick one up to make sure which one they may be interested in.

Thanks. I imagine they're auction room is similar to their satellite office in that they have all sorts of catalogs about. I also picked up a couple of poster catalogs, music and movies, and a couple of NASA related ones for my wife as she's an astronaut fiend! They do put out some nice books...just wish they wouldn't censor the stuff that interests me the most!!

I copied the auction text, and edited it down to just descriptions and price realized (with bid price)...

 

By my count, the first 226 items grossed $2,156,155.50 (incl. BP) with an average of $9,540.51 per auction.

Thanks for posting that list. I think I now know where to sell my Fillmore and Avalon posters when the time comes!

Can't confirm it, because all of our old posts disappeared, but I'm pretty sure we discussed Faerie Star #2 on the old board. I had bought copies of Faerie Star #1 off eBay from someone associated with creating the book (might have been the publisher) and I believe he told me for a fact that #2 was never made.

 

Again, can't confirm any of this, because all that valuable information was lost... :pullhair:

 

BTW, the listing for Faerie Star #1 on eBay from the publisher is available again, and the copies of the book are very affordable, for anyone who might not have one:

Before the first round of the Eric Sack auction becomes ancient history, I just wanted to take a quick moment to draw attention to some of the comix highlights; not the original art, but the original copies of published underground comix and ephemera that sold during this auction. There were some amazingly rare items that really warrant some special attention. Strong prices across the board.

Thanks for the recap, some really amazing books there. Was lucky to pick up the Feds 'N Heads, which I never thought I'd get. Never had a reason to check the census and was surprised to see such low numbers, with a supposed 5000 copy first print?

Yeah, the only one I expected to go for higher was God Nose.

 

I am amazed that the lower grade copy Foo #2 went for that much. I would have guessed it would have fetched about $500, maybe $750.

 

Again the prices for Hairy Who seem to be out of step with the FUGG. Three lower grade copies bringing in 30% more than the list price of 3 pristine copies. One of the three had a near total spine split. Maybe it was the Sack factor.

I had posted (maybe earlier in the year or last year) that Brad Foster had told me that Faerie Star #2 had never been published. He had been looking forward to getting his first full sized material published by an outside company but for whatever reason it never happened. He never even has seen a single copy, even as an artists' proof. If copies do exist, they would be extremely rare.

Congrats! My guess would be that census numbers are low because for whatever reason many underground collectors don't grade their books. But, if the 5000 figure is correct, and I have no reason to doubt it, that is still a relatively small number of copies. While I'm sure there are many ungraded copies out there (I myself have 3), many of them, like my copy below (the rare purple-marker-all-over-the-front-and-back-cover variant), are likely rags.

Judging by the dust shadow, it looks like that exact copy of Foo #2 was acquired at Heritage for roughly $500 in 2013, which strikes me as a bit low. But, yes, a healthy price this time around at almost five times that.

 

I guess the rule on books as rare as the Hairy Whos is that, if you want them, buy them when you see them. Still, I think you are right, when it comes to discrepancy with prices in Fogel, the Sack Factor has to be taken into account.

I'd suspect that the Hairy Who documentary out last year might add to the value factor.

I might have bet against the high price, though, based on the publication of "The Collected Hairy Who Publications" from Matthew Marks Gallery Press. It reproduces all the Hairy Who catalogs and many other samples of posters and ephemera, and frankly made me less inclined to go after the originals. 30 years or so ago I would still be keen on them, but having this beautiful hardcover with everything in full color on nice paper is really all I need for my HW fix, so I'm out of the game....unless I find copies as one does, in places one doesn't expect to......
