Auction was very successful, with tons of record prices, and tons of happy customers. Updating the each nights auction with prices realized.
Our standard Friday Night Estate and our Saturday Special two part auctions is being updated now with images. Like previous years, we will hold a silent auction on all lots, and this allows those not attending the convention a chance at winning auction lots. Simply, the highest price left during our silent auction period will be our starting point for the live portion of our auction. If there is no higher bid, then the silent auction bidder will be the winner.
Please be aware that there is a 10% Buyers Premium added to all winning lots, and for those who are bidding and are not at the convention will also have to pay a 5% credit card fee, as well as the cost of shipping.

In 1937, following HPL’s passing, Galpin wrote a piano solo, “Lament for H.P.L.”, the score of which was included in Arkham House’s HPL book, “Marginalia.” According to “An H.P.
