Thousands of lobby cards from across movie genres have been added to the upcoming Quick Draw Collection auction at ComicConnect. The collection, a culmination of 70 years of collecting all things Wild West and curated by a cowboy, will hit the auction block at ComicConnect. The auction begins November 2, 2020 at 12 PM ET.
Just a few of the titles are Around the World in 80 Days, Blood Alley, Cat Ballou, Dirty Harry, Escape from New York, The Gauntlet (with Frazetta art), One Eyed Jacks, and Donovan’s Reef.
“We’ve watched genres like pre-code horror and romance make big jumps in value and westerns are due for a similar correction,” Vincent Zurzolo, ComicConnect co-founder, said. “Once bidders get a chance to take in the depth and breadth of this collection, with hundreds of really cool comics, thousands of lobby cards, plus rarities, this auction will herald the next phase of demand for western collectibles.”
“The owner was a genuine cowboy, a quick draw six-shooter specialist who lived the cowboy life to the fullest, appearing in movies, parades and numerous quick draw competitions. The Old West was his life,” the consignor, who chose to remain anonymous, said.
The collection was discovered in a storage locker and is featured in a video interview on YouTube.
