Upcoming Auctions from URANIA & FINARTE
The First 150 Issues of The Fantastic Four
One of the most prestigious collections in the history of American comics: the original run of the first 150 issues of The Fantastic Four, the series that redefined the superhero genre. Created in 1961 by the legendary duo Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, The Fantastic Four is universally recognized as the series that launched the modern Marvel Universe. With their debut in Fantastic Four #1, the concept of the superhero was revolutionized: for the first time, the protagonists were not infallible icons, but a family with real problems, domestic squabbles, and existential doubts. This isn?t just a collection of comic books: it?s a piece of 20th-century pop culture history. Finding the first 150 issues in such uniformly certified condition is an extremely rare occurrence, not only on the Italian market but also on the American one. What makes this lot truly extraordinary is the consistent quality guaranteed by the EGC grading. Seeing icons like The Fantastic Four, the debut of Galactus, or the first appearance of the Silver Surfer certified by a European agency of such rigor offers collectors unprecedented investment security In fact, each issue has been graded by EGC -European Grading Company - meaning it has been meticulously analyzed, sealed, and certified, guaranteeing the integrity and historical value of every single page. EGC is the leading European authority dedicated to the certification and evaluation of the condition of comic books. Founded to meet the needs of an increasingly demanding collector?s market, EGC has introduced rigorous standards that allow for the determination of a comic book?s objective value.
Comics, Memorabilia and Pokemon Cards
Finarte is looking to the future of collecting with an event dedicated to the items most prized by young collectors. The new Memorabilia auction features a selection of items representative of the latest trends in collecting. The sale opens with a series of CGC-certified (Certified Guaranty Company) albums from the prestigious Signature Series, i.e. signed by the authors. Collectors will be able to bid on albums signed by the giants who built the legend of American superhero comics, such as Frank Miller, John Romita, Jim Lee and many others. But the heart of the sale is the celebration of a global legend on the occasion of its 30th anniversary: Pok?mon. Thirty years have indeed passed since the first Trainers began their journey in the Kanto region. What started out as a niche video game has become the most profitable franchise in history, transforming simple cardboard cards into genuine investment assets and timeless cultural icons.

Delighted with how quickly this arrived
My last shipment from an Italian company took so long I thought it was lost. This one arrived so quickly I can hardly believe. Great packing, great communication, and tracking was useful. Art was exactly what I expected and I’m thrilled to have it. I wouldn’t hesitate to bid with Urania & Finarte again.
