Need advice re: consign original art for popular baseball comic strip
One of my best friends, Mike Witte, an artist, co-created daily "Scroogy" comic strip with Tug McGraw for two years in mid-'70s, which was syndicated to over 50 top papers in U.S. The strip was collected in two popular books at the time. Mike went on to be a top illustrator for Vanity Fair, The New Yorker etc. (he's not really famous, however) and drew and appeared on air in recent World Series with his illustrations based on games, also has done portraits of stars for MLB and some at Hall Of Fame. He has all 600 of his original "Scroogy" panels, which are a good size (something like 8 x 16) and now wants to consign at least some of them, signed originals.
I have no idea what to tell him about best way to consign, whether as a few singles to judge interest, or in a group of 10 or 20 or 50 or for that matter the complete run....Also, what would possible bidding interest and value be? Here's one panel and one of the two books. Thanks for any tips. |

I guess I would reach out to the comic/ comic art personnel at Heritage. I'm sure
They would be very helpful. |

So is consensus that this is not really a "baseball card/memorabilia" auction house type thing but more of a "comic" thing? Would not do well in the mainly baseball universe? Or what?

It's cross genre-- fits into two areas. You just have to figure out if it will sell better in a sports memorabilia or comic auction. Heritage does both, so ask what they think.

One thing to consider would be how Charlie Brown baseball strips do and where they are sold.
