Hake's Americana & Collectibles Offers a New Pop Culture Auction

THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY - 50 YEARS OF JAMES BOND

2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the cinematic adventures of James Bond. And this month sees the release of the 23rd James Bond film – Skyfall. Hake’s is honoring Agent 007 in this auction with many great collectibles. Highlights include – an extremely rare boxed example of the classic James Bond Attaché Case #2722, several Bond movie posters/lobby cards #2715-2721 from such films as Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball and Diamonds Are Forever. Additionally we are offering several Bond Corgi sets #2725-2729, a deluxe gold Aston Martin #2724, a Bond vs. Oddjob model kit #2723, and signed photos of the first two Silver Screen James Bonds – Sean Connery and George Lazenby #2714.

CAPTAIN ACTION - THE TOY WITH AN IDENTITY CRISIS

We’ve outdone ourselves this auction when it comes to our Captain Action selection #2402-2425. We present an extensive amount of Captain Action material, including nearly all the vintage Captain Action offerings that were available on the market back in 1966-1967. This includes boxed first issues of Captain Action, Action Boy and the villainous Dr. Evil action figures, a scarce boxed example of the Silver Streak vehicle and outfits for Spider-Man, Captain America, The Phantom, Batman, Superman, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Buck Rogers and more, as well as various accessories sets.

PURPLE REIGN - THE PHANTOM WALKS AT HAKE'S

Every auction we try to offer a few collectibles produced for the comic hero The Phantom, but this auction we’ve outdone ourselves. Not only do we feature items in our regular Phantom section #2373-2376 that include a Multi Products figure, child’s costume, figural mug and model kit; we’re also offering a complete Phantom BLB set #1685, a near complete comic book run #1709, two button variations #1439-1440, The Phantom Captain Action outfit #2409, and even a rare Cuban x-rated card deck #1692 that features The Phantom in some rather compromising situations. A few other crossover items are listed online under the “Phantom” spotlight section.
