Steve Borock Joins Heritage Auction Galleries
Published February 6th, 2009
Heritage Auction Galleries has added Steve Borock to its staff of comic experts, the Dallas-based firm announced today, Jan. 29 ,2009.
“Steve is one of the best-known and most respected figures in the vintage comic hobby, and we couldn’t be more pleased to have him on board,” said Ed Jaster, Vice-President of Heritage. “Steve’s expertise is only going to further cement our status as the leading auctioneer of vintage comics and original comic art. Steve will help us with major collections and private clients, and will help us take our ComicMarket for third-party sellers at HA.com to the next level.”
Borock was a key figure in introducing third-party certification to the comic book hobby. He was hired by Comics Guaranty Corporation as its Primary Grader when the firm started up in 1999 due to his knowledge of vintage comic books and, especially, the trust he enjoyed among both sellers and buyers. He was promoted to President of CGC soon thereafter, a post he held until late 2008.
