Philip Kamin, a renown rock n’ roll photographer, has selected Legendary Auctions, a premier Sports and Americana auction house, to sell his prized photography collection which features rock music icons from the last 50 years. The 30,000-plus piece collection of images consists of Kamin’s own photographs as well as other famous shots he has acquired during his career. The collection includes historic photos of musical greats such as the Beatles at Shea Stadium, The Rolling Stones in concert, candid frames of Elvis Presley, Madonna, The Doors, and Sting, among others. Each original photograph will be sold with its copyrights.

Bido.com, the Social Auction Platform, has officially released their “Vote For Profits” program. The auction selection process at Bido.com is now crowd sourced, and those who participate in screening the inventory are rewarded as a partner in the auction’s proceeds.

Bido.com has developed an interactive online auction with three distinct groups of members who participate in the auctions: Buyers, Sellers, and now, Voters. These professional Voters are compensated for selecting inventory to go to auction based on the item itself in relation to its ‘BidoPrice’, and marketing those items to the world to increase exposure of the auction.

When a truly exceptional copy of Detective Comics #27, the very first appearance of Batman, is auctioned by Heritage Auction Galleries in its Feb. 25 Signature® Comics & Comic Art Auction, it will set two important marks:

It will, more than likely, become the single most valuable comic ever offered at public auction. Though it’s being sold with no reserve and no minimum bid, it’s expected to bring at least $300,000. The current record for a comic sold at auction stands at $317,000, for a copy of Action Comics #1, sold last year at another auction house.

The other question the auction will settle, at least for the time being, is one of the great debates of Pop Culture: Who is worth more today, Batman or Superman?
