REDFORD, Mich., Nov. 1, 2011 — Classic comics and premiums fans will want to pay close attention to the Comic Book and Cereal Radio Premiums Auction, hosted by Back to the Past Pop Culture Warehouse (http://www.backtothepast.tv), the Midwest's premiere location for pop culture collectibles. The live auction takes place during three sessions over two days: Saturday, November 5th at 11:00 AM Eastern Time; Saturday, November 5th at 5:00 PM Eastern Time; and Sunday, November 6th at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. The first two sessions will be open for public attendance at the Back to the Past showroom in Redford, Michigan, while all three sessions will be available for online bidding via http://www.proxibid.com/backtothepast.
