DALLAS, TX.- Heritage Auctions has announced that a newly discovered collection of more than 40,000 comic books, “The Savannah Collection,” spanning from 1958 to the present and valued in total at more than $1 million, will be sold by the firm beginning Feb. 24, 2011. The collection has already been recognized as a pedigree collection by the certification service CGC, one of few collections from this era to receive that designation. The comics are being put up for auction by Shelton Drum, proprietor of the Charlotte, NC comic store Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find, and a comic seller for three and a half decades. Drum purchased the comics from the original collector, a Savannah, GA resident who was middle-aged in the late 1950s when he began collecting in earnest, but continued purchasing every comic he could for the following 50 years. “I was amazed by the consistent quality of the comics from 1959 and up,” Drum
