SO I spent all day yesterday at a Labor Day Party then when I got home logged on and saw the Heritage auction was still going on ...OOPS lol Won a few lots not to bad- a couple books I wanted and a sweet group of High Grade X-men so no buyers remorse for me this morning with a clear head .... It could have been worse!

There were a couple of steals last night.  One thing I picked up for me which I showed in the this week in your collection thread.  The other thing I picked up for eBay.  I thought that no one was paying attention to s few things due to Labor Day.

So for example... One of things I won last night was this cel from the Disney Cartoon on how Disney creates animation starring Walter Cronkite and Robin Williams.   I took that home last night for $168 https://comics.ha.com/itm/animation-art/the-magic-of-disney-animation-back-to-neverland-production-cel-walt-disney-1989-/a/121935-11285.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515 

Back in June, another cel from that sequence in the cartoon went for $660.   The background that they included with sale is a not authentic and was created for presentation purposes for the production cel.  https://comics.ha.com/itm/animation-art/back-to-never-land-robin-williams-as-a-lost-boy-production-color-model-cel-with-painted-background-walt-disney-1989-/a/7207-97408.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515

Both production cels feature Robin Williams as a Lost Boy with a full body facing the viewer.  The one in June features him waving goodbye while the one I picked up last night features Robin looking impish. Cels from this cartoon do not come up very often. 

$660 in June vs $168 in August... that mock up - non-production background is not worth a $500 increase.  I am thinking that a few interested bidders were not around last night. 

 

I picked up a comic book for around $275 that people are trading for a bit more than double that on eBay which seems to be at a three year low for the book in grade.  I will stash that for about a year because I have faith in the book and the characters.   Again, I felt that someone was sleeping.  No one bid against me once the live auction started.

That Disney cell is very cool... nice grab. 

What book if you do not mind sharing? I felt the same about that X-men group I grabbed, I was more surprised I won it actually... I will see what they look like in hand if they upgrade my keeper copies then flip the lower ones. 

I try not to talk about books I am buying up until I am finished buying them up. :( sorry
