Yep spotted that one but didn't have time to research it- though original
art by Raymond's successor may be scarcer than Raymond X9s!

I understand in a large auction a few minor errors might creep in here
and there, but when I read the description of this X-9 daily I wonder if they
are trying at all.

Yeah at 33% fee mark up you expect a little better on the
identification. I wish I could be more sure on their recent IDS. I own a
Tim Tyler's luck Sunday traded to me years ago as a Raymond - My friend Tom
Roberts did the Raymond bio- and had access to his records - mine is the
week after Raymond quit! (a lot of it doesn't look much different than the
one the week before! But any artist starting on a strip is usually told to
make it look like the preceding artist. Heritage has or had one a few weeks
later attributed to Hogarth some one i had never heard having done work on
the strip. One more thing more to research but I am hoping that this time
they are right!

Not Goldberg — it’s by Bob White. Dan Parent helped with the ID.

At the time I thought it didn’t look like DeCarlo but I liked it
and trusted HA.
The most common misattribution I see is Goldberg as DeCarlo,
though.
I’ve got a few Goldberg pieces that I bought which were labeled as
decarlo. Most off of eBay where I expect that kind of thing and didn’t pay
heritage prices for them.
My expectation for heritage is to correctly identify art, though.
With the fees they charge and their standards it should be possible.

A Goldberg I sold years ago (ie I knew it came out of Goldberg's garageas I
bought it from the guy who bought skids of art from Goldberg) I saw
recently listed as a DeCarlo cover but I forget where - whether it was on a
sale site or onhttp://www.comcis.org

I’ve noticed this too. I got burned by them on an Archie
annual cover that was initially listed as by DeCarlo and then changed
after the fact to say ‘attributed’. This was a few years ago.
I’ve since gotten a bit better at identifying art by DeCarlo
rather than trusting them and I 100% mistrust the attributed designation.
For me ‘Dan DeCarlo (attributed)’ is now a proxy for ‘unknown
Archie artist’.

in auctions of Archie art at Heritage. Several lots have listed "Dan

artist and shows no sign of Dan even touching it. I’ve emailed Heritage
about these errors but to no avail. I’m wondering if they have someone
in-house who does the attributions of art, or are they just taking the
word of the person who’s putting the art up for auction? It seems like
someone, whether Heritage or the seller, is trying to drive up sale
prices on art by lesser artists.
