Funnybooks Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Fair enough. I’m not convinced either I thought maybe for ease of access without all the clicking on the Heritage site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanCooper Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Looks like you have to use the "Titles & Descriptions" option When you type in "pennyworth" in the search box, a couple of options appear to select and it gets you there (Pennyworth collection books are already in the Heritage archives from today's auction results) Sqeggs and Funnybooks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know any details? My suspicion is that the books held back--if, in the end, any actually were--might have been lower-grade copies of not particularly desirable books that the family kept as souvenirs. But interesting to think that there might actually be some BW copies of significant books still with the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A job, out of love, well done! Any bets that this collection wouldn't have hit the auction blocks so quickly if they hadn't been stolen in the first place? Probably one of the major reason why the owner decided to sell as it must have made him nervous to hold onto them for the long haul after finally getting them back.

Glad he got some nice prices on them. For a time, he started collecting again. But eventually, after the thrill and relief dissipated and worry again returned, Lawrence called Heritage's Aaron White and said: Now's the time. Come get them. Lawrence is 60 years old, and ready to retire and cut loose his prized possessions. https://www.ha.com/heritage-auctions-press-releases-and-news/one-of-the-most-storied-and-celebrated-collections-of-batman-comics-heads-to-heritage-auctions-in-november.s?releaseId=4006&type=social-Twitter-Comics-7236-pr4006-103020 Edited November 23, 2020 by Professor Chaos lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor K Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Gotham Kid said: What did the collection total for ? I was wondereing too . I did a search of the auction alphabetically. Added up all the pennyworth Batmans and Detectives in my head. Came to right around 1.4 million for the Nov. 19-21 auction. . I didn't count the Bat 1 cb cs because I'm pretty sure that wasn't his. I counted just under 200 of his books that just ended in the Nov. 19-21 auction. But according to the article by Heritage - Lawrence's decision to part with his collection of more than 1,000 Dark Knight issues brings to market some of the finest-graded Batman and Detective Comics issues ever available in a single place. I wonder where the other 800 or so books are. Was there any raw books in this past auction? I only saw CGC graded ones.

Popular Post ThothAmon Posted November 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) I helped out Lawrence’s retirement a little with this cherry. I did hear the collection would be spread out over 3 auctions in the marketing video.
