Title: Famous Monsters complete collection Heritage auction # 122133 Lot # 15947
Post by: Monsterkid54 on August 13, 2021, 09:05:35 PM
Hello all: FYI: Heritage auctions has my complete uncertified high grade Famous Monsters magazine collection in their 8-16-21 auction # 122133 lot # 15947. The first 30 issues include Richard Conway, James Warren and Forry Ackerman personal file copies. Obtained the Conway and Warren copies in 1968 while visiting the Warren offices in NYC. The #4 Forry copy with ghoul's eye sticker was a trade we made in 1969. Thanks for your time in reading this---Dave

Welcome to the UMA, Dave!  :)

Is this just the Warren issues? Does it include the YBs and MWs?

I was just notified the collection has been withdrawn from this auction and will be in the larger November comics signature auction instead. A last minute decision that I wasn’t expecting at this point—-Dave
