Former CGC President Steve Borock Joins Heritage Comic Auctions


Steve Borock

As of Thursday, January 29, 2009, Heritage Auction Galleries has added Steve Borock to its group of comic book experts. “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,” Vice President of Heritage, Ed Jaster said. “Steve will help us with major collections and private clients, and will help us take our Comic Market for third party sellers at ha.com to the next level.”

Borock became an important figure in third party certification of comics. He began working for Comics Guaranty Corporation as the Primary Grader when the company began in 1999. His knowledge of vintage comics and the trust he maintained with sellers and buyers both, cemented his reputation. He was quickly promoted to the president of CGC and remained there until late 2008.

While working at CGC Borock had the final say in what grade books received, providing honesty and fairness to the community of collectors and dealers. He is also a member of the Hero Initiative’s board, helping the non-profit charity help yesterday’s comic creators in medical and financial need.

“I am really looking forward to my next journey in the comic field at Heritage. They’ve been innovators in our hobby for the last nine years, bringing live and Internet auctions to an entire new level while setting record prices,” he added, “Not only that, but the transparency that Heritage offers to the collecting community, especially with their online archives, makes me feel secure in the fact that I am in the correct place to help our hobby grow in the right direction. Comic books and the friends I have made in this hobby are very important to me, and I have to be somewhere I know will be beneficial to all of us.”
