Surprise success for the auction Goldorak

putting for the first sale a rich collection "100% cellos" around japanese cartoons of the 1980s, the house Cornette de Saint-Cyr had never imagined such a result.

Saturday, June 6, at 14 h, the vacation was organised by the expert François Meyniel around 233 lots of sketches, drawings and celluloids of the collector Stéphane Laurent has sprayed the estimates.

"It is a box full," acknowledges François Meyniel. All lots offered found buyers. The estimated total, which was at the start of 50.000 euros has been multiplied by five! Never seen that before. With costs, the sale reached more than 300,000 euros. This is an auction history in the field."

Even if the collection of Stéphane Laurent, which brings together a concentration of all the series that he has enjoyed in his youth, of Goldorak at Albator, Candy, Cobra, Princess Sarah, Cat's Eyes, Nicky Larson, Tom Sawyer, Dragon Ball, or Knights of The zodiac, was certainly the most beautiful ever seen, nobody expected such a tsunami.

"lot 122, representing Actarus, the pilot of Grendizer, has been the subject of a battle of bidding fierce, says the expert of the sale. There were 27 people in the room, 5 customers over the phone and 400 bidders from around the world on the Internet, out of South Korea to California by way of Italy. Well, this is not the american customer, which was successful. The beautiful lot 122 was eventually sold to 13000 euros to the hammer, while it was estimated at 5000. And it's a French who was hard-fought."

For me, this sale related to the "japanimation" is equivalent to the first sale Tintin has taken place at the beginning of the 90's in the space Cronenbourg. This means that we have identified a new market in sight.

More surprising still, the whole of the lots offered for sale found buyers. "Everything worked, from Cobra to Candy in, it was amazing," admits François Meyniel. For me, this sale related to the "japanimation" is equivalent to the first sale Tintin has taken place at the beginning of the 90's in the space Cronenbourg. This means that we have identified a new market in view, that of the manga, and the "cellos". Ten years ago, a celluloid sold for 50 euros..."

And when it is explained to the expert in comics and illustrations to the house Cornette de Saint-Cyr that this vacation was held just a few weeks after the déconfinement, it responds calm:

"Yes, analyse-t-il. Already, during the exhibition of the pieces at the end of the week, we had noted a growing interest of the public. But then, I never would have imagined this. Everything is sold despite the health crisis. The people had undoubtedly desire to have fun. The bet is fully won..."
