ComicLink Auction Ends Soon! Many CGC-Graded Books Offered
Get your bids in! The current ComicLink Featured Focused Auction auction is ENDING! The comic book portion ends Tuesday, October 16th, through Thursday, October 18th, and the Original Art segment of the auction ends next Friday, October 19th. According to Josh Nathanson, ComicLink President, this is ComicLink's best auction yet, with nearly 1,400 vintage CGC-GRADED comic book and original comic art lots in the auction, many of impressive quality. There is a lot to choose from and be excited about! Nathanson strongly suggests reviewing the lots now so that you don't find yourself wondering how best to use your time during the final days of the auction. Auction lots range from the beginning of comics in the 1930s through the 1970s. In terms of Silver and Bronze Age, there are many key and early issues in a variety of grades, with condition rarities and CGC-GRADED "mega-keys" from both Marvel and DC. This is an opportunity for collectors to upgrade or instantly build strong collections. In terms of Golden Age, there are nearly 500 CGC-GRADED items from pedigree collections ranging from Gaines File copies to the Crowley collection to the Mile High collection. Many of the comic books are in high grade and fall within the top 3 highest CGC-graded examples for the issues they represent (with many being the very best in existence). There are also plenty of items to choose from for collectors that are not condition-sensitive, though some items offered are even the best in the world in mid-grade. Participants will be able to bid on a range of popular titles, stand-out covers, and obscure rarities. Many key and #1 issues from this early age of comics are also represented. The comic book segment of this auction will end over three days (items end alphabetically by title), from Tuesday, October 16th, through Thursday, October 18th. The Original Comic Art segment of the auction will end on Friday, October 19th. There are stand-out offerings from the likes of Graham Ingels, Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby, and John Romita, but there are also more affordable lots from these and many other popular artists.
