Auction Preview: Your Chance to Own a Piece of Pop Culture History
15 June 2026
Auction Highlights
British Comic Heritage: At the heart of the British section of the catalogue is a magnificent tribute to the gritty, rebellious spirit of British comic book history: 2000 AD. Launched in the late 1970s, the anthology became a counter-culture phenomenon, most famous for spawning the iconic, unyielding lawman of Mega-City One, Judge Dredd.
The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine: Stepping away from the gritty future of Mega-City One and into the surrealist, vibrant world of 1968, the auction also shines a spotlight on an ultimate piece of global music and film heritage: The Beatles’ animated masterpiece, Yellow Submarine. The auction proudly features an exceptionally rare, original animation cel.
Marvel & DC Classics: For Marvel fans, the auction includes original 1990s animation cels with master backgrounds from Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, and the X-Men. For DC fans, there’s an original animation cel from Batman Beyond (1999). Not to be overlooked are animation cels from The Real Ghostbusters.
An Accessible Entry Point
While the auction boasts extraordinary rarity and historical significance, it offers a remarkably accessible entry point. With opening estimates designed to welcome casual fans and seasoned collectors alike, this sale represents a rare opportunity to physically own an authentic piece of pop culture history.
Ray Raftery, Head of Pop Culture at Stanley Gibbons Baldwin’s, had this to say about the sale: "This auction will allow many people a chance to purchase a piece of pop culture history at a very attractive price. There really is something for everyone in this auction."
