Hake's Americana & Collectibles To Offer Over 100 CGC-Certified Comics in January

Hake's Americana & Collectibles has long been recognized as one of the premier Americana auction houses, particularly when it comes to character-related memorabilia, but with their January 25 – 27, 2005 auction, they will be significantly expanding their offerings by including over 100 CGC-certified comic books and other items.

"While we have offered comics in the past, we are looking forward to pleasing our loyal customer base and our new customers even more by including a larger selection of high-grade comics," said Jeff Robison, General Manager of Hake's.

A few of the highlights include All American Comics #1 CGC 6.5, Captain America Comics #1 CGC 8.0, and Marvel Mystery Comics #59 CGC 9.4. CGC-certified comics from the Mile High, Pennsylvania, San Francisco, Rockford, Gaines files, Bethlehem and other pedigrees will be included in the offering.

The auction is also packed with numerous classic Americana collectibles, including political memorabilia, autographs, coins, vintage advertising collectibles and character toys. Highlights include a rare 1941 Superman Fleischer cartoon film one-sheet poster, an autographed sketch of Mickey Mouse signed by Walt Disney and memorabilia from numerous comic clubs of the Golden Age.
