I've noticed that also - the frequency increasing in 2020 at Heritage.

Next three Heritage Signature auction dates:

March 5 - 8 Comics & Comic Art Signature Auction - Dallas 7224

April 30 - May 2 Comics Signature Auction - Dallas 7229

July 9 - 11 Comics Signature Auction - Dallas 7231

Also, the split of the weekly auctions to two days - Sunday/Monday.

It is amazing how Heritage, ComicConnect and Comiclink are pumping out auctions in 2020 at an incredible rate! Back in the 1990s, the two main auction houses doing comic auctions (Sotheby's and Christie's East) were only doing one auction each per year.

One has to wonder about the flooding of the market and sustainability.

Heritage's auctions can really drag out.  I would imagine this is to increase exposure to some of the later items.

If you look at the volume of 1350 lots the number is low...it is 1500 plus...so until they catch up...the number of auctions might mean more material minus the size. There is no doubt in my mind that Ha/CC will someday either merge or share the same platform since Ha's is so much superior.

I can remember XM Radio vs Sirius..they were big time rivals. both going on forever in war..and then BINGO.....$$$$ became a issue. At some point since Ha is a billion dollar company..its platform is going to dominate even greater...I see if calm minds going for the most effective $$$$..something down the line is gonna happen not a buy-out but some time of sharing. Same with the CGC and the other guy...look for industry consolidation at some point in the future.

Fishler has more pride than either XM, Sirius, or Heritage.

I was always curious if you had any concept of how business works.

Comiclink can't possible afford to pay for Heritage's platform, and Heritage is never, ever, ever going to just give it away for altruistic reasons.

If you give me your books it would benefit your business.  I promise to speak kindly of you to anyone who asks.

Generally positive.  Not effusive.  It wouldn't seem genuine if I was too nice. 

"Great guy, other than... well let's not get into that."

 

Can't do it. Sorry. I was looking for grovelingly nice.

They do not buy the platform, they pay a user fee or a % of the auction results. I am talking about the next generational platform...which will separate the Men from the Boys. You never know...but the next Gen stuff is going to be mind-blowing

CL can't upgrade to a platform from last decade, how would they ever work with a next generational one?
