1933 World Wide Gum Co., Sea Raiders US-issue card set. Against an estimate of $10,000-$20,000, the lot sold for an astounding $68,964.
YORK, PA.- An old proverb says the early bird catches the worm, but at Hake’s July 29-30 auction of exceptional pop culture memorabilia, a Star Wars “Early Bird” store display was, itself, the most highly-prized catch, claiming a new world-record price of $112,100. The sale’s diverse 1,562-lot selection nimbly crossed hundreds of today’s most sought-after collectibles categories, from original comic art and action figures to sports and political memorabilia, ultimately closing at $2.5 million. While robust prices were recorded throughout the two-day event, there was no denying that The Force was operating at warp speed, as two extremely rare 1978 Kenner Star Wars productions broke away from the pack and confidently rewrote the record books. The big winner of the day was a 1978 Star Wars Early Bird Special Early Bird Certificate Package store display. Graded AFA 70 EX+, the structure was designed to hold stiff illustrated cardboard envelopes, each containing a ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum welcomes a McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle, the first aircraft of its kind to be accessioned into the Smithsonian collection.

NEW YORK, NY.- As we enter the last month of summer, Danziger Gallery presents a selection of sports images by the photographer who is credited with inventing the strobe flash, Harold Eugene Edgerton. Edgerton or “Doc” as he was affectionately known, developed an electronic technology which allowed for high-speed photography and captured moments previously unseen by the human eye.

Edgerton was born in Fremont, Nebraska, in 1903 and received his doctoral degree (and his nickname “Doc”) from MIT where he taught ... More
