Yesterday I blogged about receiving a collection of comics from actor Richard Herd to sell...
That was because I recently received a phone call from Richard, who had a booth at the recent Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con. Click here to see my blog post on that. I had met Richard before at a 'Quantum Leap Con' years ago, but at that time I wasn't selling consignments nor blogging. This time I had flyers and business cards as to what I do for myself and possible clients.
I was a little surprised to find that the westerns that he included in the box that was shipped to me were several 'key' issues, which were pictured in yesterday's Blog #3176.
Today I want to bring attention to the fact that a few of the Phantom Comics collection had signed issues by Lee Falk.
I wondered about that, and asked Richard why those were in there.
Here was his response:
"I'd forgotten about Lee's signature.
That gives them more value, correct? I knew him very well.
I did my Acting apprenticeship for Lee & Al Capp when they ran the Boston Summer Theatre in the 50's.
He was one of my sponsors in the 60's when I became a member of the Player's Club in NYC, the oldest Actor's club in America."
My answer to Richard was that those comics signed by Lee Falk would be of more monetary value, and posibly as well the fact that had belonged to him, (Richard Herd).
I was briefly aware that Lee Falk had been involved in theater, but not to the extent that I found after reading his 'Wikipedia entry' as seen here.
Richard was in some good company working with Lee, as Lee had Marlon Brando, Eva Gabor, Charlton Heston, and Paul Robeson, just to name a few of the actors and actresses working with him!
Talking about acting, here is Richard Herd's own 'Wikipedia entry' for you to see most of his credits: click here!
BTW, talking about Richard's credits...A lot of you will remember Richard in Star Trek. He also tells me the following:
"I will be a Celebrity Guest at the Star Trek convention August 6-7 & 8th. at the Hilton in Las Vegas."
So...I think I've covered everything now about the new comics I've received from Richard Herd, and that are now being listed for sale. Again, the direct link to the store aisle that just has the Richard Herd Collection is listed here.
My thanks again to Richard Herd for sending me the above shown comic books and more to be listed in our online store!
