<p>[QUOTE="MyAntiquersName, post: 9717728, member: 9098"]Thanks for asking! I had looked on the internet and seen the prices pieces like my Hal Foster pieces sold for and I had seen $66,000, but then when I submitted the pieces to Heritage Auctions and asked for a valuation - I had 7 pieces altogether, however the two Hal Foster pieces were found to be part of the same comic strip and were placed together - my account manager told me that the Hal Foster piece might be worth $2500 and the total of all the remaining pieces was $1000. He said they were in as bad a condition as it gets. Of course I was really disappointed but I felt that their condition in real life was better than in the photos I submitted. So I was really left with complete uncertainty. I deeply hoped I could realize $65,000 for the whole group but then realized that the condition of the Hal Foster piece was worse than the condition of the pieces that sold in the $66,000 range, so I adjusted my sights to hoping I could realize $33,000. As the bidding proceeded slowly over the 7 days of the auction I found myself just praying I would realize $10,000. I was relieved when I reached that number. In the end, I am very happy with the $24,960 result</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, thanks for asking!</p><p><br /></p><p>Tina[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
