Morphy’s Premier Marbles Auction

Rare Pink Opaque Lutz Marble With Red Bands Sells For $28,290

A shrunken core onionskin marble with colors of white, yellow, orange and blue soared to $36,285, and a scarce pink opaque lutz marble with red bands finished at $28,290 at a Premier Marbles auction held April 11 at Morphy Auctions’ flagship Denver, Pa., gallery. The best of the best in the booming hobby of marble collecting was on full display in the auction, which was packed with 478 quality lots.

The wildly-colorful shrunken core onionskin marble boasted the perfect amount of floating mica to allow the core to be seen. It was expected to do well, having a high estimate of $30,000. But eager bidders pushed that to a final price of $36,285, making it the top lot of the auction. The marble,

inches in diameter with an early, faceted pontil and white base with blue and pink, the marble was graded 9.8 for condition. A stunning, deep four-lobed onionskin marble with a white base and a rainbow of colors, including turquoise, yellow, red and blue, realized $19,680, which was within estimate. The marble was 2 inches in diameter and graded 9.5. It had an early faceted pontil, and the surface showed two minor subsurface reflections. A rare singlepontil end of day Joseph’s Coat swirl marble in colors of white, green, blue, yellow and red breezed past the $15,000 high estimate to settle at $17,835. Some of the colors in the 2-inch-diameter marble started at the bottom pontil and came back to the

2.25 inches in diameter and graded 9.7, showed a few as-made indentations, or hot spots.

The rare pink opaque lutz marble with red bands also came into the sale with high expectations. It had a pre-sale estimate of $20,000 to $25,000, realizing $28,290. The 7/8-inch-diameter marble, graded 9.7, is very hard to find in the color combination it displayed, and collectors rewarded that with aggressive bidding.

One of the sleepers of the sale was a Peltier stained-glass box set advertising Robin Hood Shoes, very rare and the only one known. The set was said to have been given to a child after his or her parents bought shoes. The marbles contained therein averaged a grade of 9.5 and included five each of Ketchups and Mustards, Rebel, Superman, Christmas Tree and Liberty. The box, which exhibited some wear on the top edges, included a bag but was still graded very good. The set came

A large, Indian swirl marble having a black opaque base with opposing precision bands of light green, blue, orange and yellow blasted through the $7,000 high estimate to ring up $10,455. The marble was 1.625 inches in diameter and graded 9.75. Finding one in this size and condition is no easy trick, a fact that no doubt helped drive up the winning bid.

A Nostalgic Collectible Exhibit Focusing On Camden County, N.J.

By Karl Pass

The Haddon Heights Antiques Center is situated in the heart of suburban Camden County, so it’s only fitting that one of the center’s special sales display should focus on antique and vintage objects and ephemera from, not only the city of Camden, but the county as a whole since their histories are very much intertwined. What is now the city of Camden, N.J., was settled in 1681 by Quaker William Cooper, who was soon joined by other Quaker families who established farms and other businesses on the land that was directly across the Delaware River

Hake’s Premier Auction Set Records

Rocketing To $1.9 Million Cox And Roosevelt 1920 Jugate Button Brings $45,578

While the country prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Hake’s hosted a grand celebration of its own. Premier Auction #246, which closed on March 24 and 25, presented more than 1,400 lots of historical Americana and pop culture collectibles in a sale that totaled $1.9 million. Fittingly, many of the lots featured examples of important political memorabilia.

“Hake’s continues strong into 2026, with bidders turning out in force for both sessions of our March auction,” said Hake’s general manager Kelly McClain. “Each night brought impressive results with spirited bidding that saw several lots set new world record prices. We’re going to run with that energy.”

Is there anything more American than Captain America? The overall top lot of the auction was a copy of “Captain America Comics #1” (Timely Comics, March 1941), with a CGC Qualified Grade of 4.0. The key Golden Age comic featured the origin and first appearance of Captain America, his young ally Bucky and their nemesis The Red Skull. The classic WWII cover by Jack Kirby showed Captain America punching Adolf Hitler. Other artists included Joe Simon

and Al Liederman, with stories written by Simon, Kirby and Ed Herron. The comic achieved a world record price of $71,554.

A blister card containing a 2.25-inch tall “Star Wars” Jawa action figure of the initial “Vinyl Cape” variety, made by Kenner in 1978, sold for a world record $55,152. It was graded AFA 95 Mint, the highest grade Hake’s had ever offered for the toy. There are only three known examples in an AFA 95 grade, according to the AFA Population Report, with none higher. Hake’s sold an AFA 90 Vinyl Cape Jawa in its July 2024 auction for $44,261. The one that just sold was on an unpunched card.

A Cox & Roosevelt 1920 Democratic campaign jugate button soared past its $35,000 high estimate to finish at $45,578, a new record price. The 1.875-inch diameter button featured a waving American Flag at the bottom center and a perched eagle at the top. Collectors have a special fondness for jugates, buttons featuring presidential and vice-presidential candidates. Hake’s is proud to have sold the most political jugate buttons of any auction house.

FDR made another appearance with a “Re-Elect Roosevelt” 1936 campaign poster,

an example of Depression-era art that evoked the WPA murals of that period. The poster was 24 by 34 inches and signed in the print at lower left by artist “W Sanger.” The selling price of $44,428 was more than double the estimate and a new world auction record for the poster and the artist. The striking graphics included six individuals, each holding a union picket line poster. Hake’s believes it may have been one-of-a-kind. A rare Roosevelt “T.R. for President” real photo portrait button set a world record when

Collector Chat With Peter S. Seibert

This Week: An Old Collector Passed Away

By Peter Seibert

An old collector passed away recently after a life filled with hunting for the most beautiful art and antiques to fill his home. The collection was his child, and he

There were treasures that he purchased in his college days and some that came from eBay just before his passing. Each one was chosen with the love of a scholar, curator and aesthete.

And yet, when it was all said and done, his family had no interest in the collection. He had shared it freely with them, but the collecting DNA must have passed through a different line as none were interested. His passing was anticipated but not expected to happen so quickly after the final diagnosis. And thus after the collector died, the family moved in to sell everything. The gold and silver were held onto as investments, but the rest of the estate was sent to a local auctioneer.

The sad part of the tale

was that the collector had never left notes about the collection. So the various items were simply lotted and sold. There was no record of what the items were or who had owned them or why they were important. Neither the family nor the auctioneer was particularly interested. It was stuff, and after all the articles online said formal furnishings were dead to the world. So if they got a few thousand or even a few hundred dollars, well, it was okay.

I tell this fictional tale because I know variants of this are all too true. Many collectors who see their family is not interested clam up and leave no records for their heirs about the items. Why bother? They just want the money, so let them work for it a bit! It’s a mindset that

I have heard over and over again.

And yet, the sad part of it all is that the collector’s knowledge of his/her own stuff is what is being lost. The fact that the chair came from a major dealer and is published in six books was lost. The reality that the painting is not signed but in fact is by artist “x” and thus is historically and financially important is lost. If I listen, I can hear the old collector saying that giving the items up without their history is part of the fun for the next generation. The word “research” comes from two derivative words: RE and SEARCH as in you have to continue to research topics over and over.

But I would challenge the old collector that this is a poor approach. Years

ago when my friend Clarke Hess died, his heirs arranged with Horst auction to keep the catalog of the collection available online after the sale. Clarke collected items from the Lancaster County Mennonite community, and so the provenance of those pieces is critical, especially to the families. So the action of his heirs in keeping that alive for the future is so appreciated by those collectors and scholars who will stumble upon the items in the future.

As collectors, we need to remember that we are only temporary custodians of our collections and we will, as did the old collector, throw off the mortal coil at some point. When we do, leaving a legacy of a well-researched collection for the next

generation is so important.

“Born to collect” should be the motto of Peter Seibert’s family. Raised in Central Pennsylvania, Seibert has been collecting and writing about antiques for more than three decades. By day, he is a museum director and has worked in Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Virginia and New Mexico. In addition, he advises and consults with auction houses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly about American furniture and decorative arts. Seibert’s writings include books on photography, American fraternal societies and paintings. He and his family are restoring a 1905 arts and crafts house filled with years’ worth of antique treasures found in shops, co-ops and at auctions.

A License To Bid: Bond And Classic Cinema Drive Results

Results From Limited-Edition Movie Poster Print Auction

Heritage Auctions’ April 15 Alternative Movie Posters Showcase Auction realized $89,440 and achieved a 100 percent sell-through rate, underscoring sustained demand for limited-edition, artist-driven interpretations of iconic films. The auction featured 553 lots and attracted 1,012 bidders, reflecting an expansion of the Alternative Movie Poster (AMP) market among collectors and enthusiasts.

Heritage’s Showcase Auction format, designed to

provide access to high-quality material at more approachable price points than its marquee signature sales, proved well-suited to the category, offering collectors a wide range of works.

Alternative movie posters are often produced as hand-numbered screenprints or giclées in limited quantities. They have, over the past two decades, transformed the movie poster hobby. Pioneered by studios and galleries such as Mondo, these works bridge

pop culture and fine art, offering stylized reinterpretations of classic, cult and contemporary films.

“The AMP market continues to show remarkable consistency, especially for classic film properties interpreted by top-tier artists,” said Zach Pogemiller,

associate director of movie posters at Heritage Auctions.

“Collectors are responding to both the nostalgia of the titles and the craftsmanship of these limited-edition prints, which often disappear into collections as quickly as they’re released.”

Leading the auction were

works inspired by mid-20thcentury and early blockbuster-era cinema, with James Bond titles performing particularly well. A Paul Mann “Goldfinger” (2019) private commission screenprint, hand-numbered 0013/120, realized $1,375, matching the result of Mann’s “Thunderball” (2020), numbered 0013/113, at the same price.

Also among the top performers was Steve Chorney’s “The Great Escape” (2022), a private commission numbered 1/90, which brought $1,250. Another James Bond

A rare Wilson and Marshall U.S. Capitol Dome 1912 jugate button captured a world record at $21,524. The 1.25inch button was perhaps the most attractive 1912 Wilson jugate featuring the U.S. Capitol and the American Flag in bold colors. It was likely the it changed hands for $27,584.

finest example extant, according to Hake’s. A boxing ticket stub from the Feb. 25, 1964, heavyweight championship fight between champion Sonny Liston and challenger Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali), graded PSA 5 (EX), bested the $10,000 high estimate by knocking down for $16,170. The ticket stub, showing it was for a $100 ringside seat, was autographed on the back by Clay, a feature that no doubt helped spike its value. The PSA/DNA Population Report indicates the ticket stub is one of only two signed copies and is by far the higher graded of the two.

A copy of “Amazing Fantasy #15,” graded CGC 3.5 and featuring the debut of Spider-Man, as well as the first appearances of Peter Parker’s Aunt May and Uncle Ben, breezed to $27,584. It was also Spidey’s first cover appearance, created by Jack Kirby.

The results highlight the enduring appeal of nostalgia-driven subject matter, particularly films from the 1960s through the early 1980s, as well as the continued maturation of the AMP category as both a collecting field and an artistic movement. With many of these prints originating from private commissions, gallery releases or fan conventions such as San Diego Comic-Con and New York Comic Con, and rarely reprinted, scarcity remains a defining driver of value.
