Bruneau & Co.'s Comics, Toys & Video Games auction, May 6th, is packed with Pop Culture collectibles

CRANSTON, R.I. - April 24, 2023 - PRLog -- Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers will present an auction titled Graded Showcase: Comics, Toys & Video Games on Saturday, May 6^th, online and live in the Cranston gallery at 63 Fourth Avenue. "This will be a fun, 154-lot auction," said Travis Landry, Bruneau & Co.'s Director of Pop Culture. "The focus is on professionally graded comics, toys and video games."

In the spirit of May 4^th and the Revenge of the 6^th, the auction will open with a selection of CAS graded Kenner Star Wars action figures, followed by a collection of Hasbro Transformers Beast Wars. Comic offerings will be highlighted by Part 2 of the Henry Anderson collection of Golden Age comics, pulled from a box at the family's uncle's house that was saved from the dumpster.

The comics category will be led by three offerings from Fox Features Syndicate. The first is a copy of The Eagle #4 from January 1942, graded CGC 3.5. The book was the final issue within the series and features a hanging panel with artwork by Pierce Rice. Per the CGS census, only five copies are graded higher. This wartime Golden Age classic should realize $3,000-$5,000.

The second is a copy of Science Comics #1 from February 1940, graded CGC 4.5 and featuring the first appearance of The Eagle, Panther Woman and Electro (who later became Dynamo), plus a classic bondage cover by George Tuska. The book is one of three in the CGG census graded 4.5. It should command $3,000-$5,000. Also in the auction will be a copy of Science Comics #3.

Vintage Star Wars action figures are always a big hit with collectors. The auction's got some good ones, including a Kenner 1978 Han Solo figure (20 back E, graded CAS 85), a superb example with a crisp, unpunched card and clear bubble receiving straight 85 subgrades. Included is a card with a "Free Boba Fett" offer and an overlay sticker on the back (est. $3,000-$5,000).

Internet bidding will be facilitated by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com, bidLIVE.Bruneauandco.com and the mobile app "Bruneau & Co." on iTunes or GooglePlay.
