Post your Promise Collection wins!

I don't believe anyone has quantified the health of the overall GA market. Anecdotal musings suggest it has either improved, remained the same, or declined albeit significantly less than have later era books. So a decline in Promise books comparable to overall SA decline- it's bad and being GA has not saved it. To me it just means these books are now selling for what they should have originally sold for. -

Thoughts On Using Graded Comic Storage Cases For CGC Books
whomerjay replied to Pettingill's topic in Comics General
They look like an interesting (at least cheaper) alternative to the oft-discussed safe. If some are both Fire and Water -proof, I guess the question is assuming books inside cannot breathe, would you have the same problems as the safe? -
ComicLink's next Featured Auction Has Started Posting Books
whomerjay replied to LDarkseid1's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
I didn't bid on or follow any GA Superhero, but I was blown out of the water on all of my 20 GA bids. And these were simply "I'd like to own that" not "gotta have it." How did SA and BA fare? -

I’ve bought and sold on Clink. A lot. been mostly buying last 2 years. Most buys are auction wins. I pay what the winning bid is. I pay with check to avoid the 3% “buyer’s premium” which is essentially a CC surcharge. i frequently have Spencer hold books until I accumulate 8-10 books. They end up charging me an amount for shipping where I’m sure they’re not making money on shipping. Just email Spencer to hold books and also note it in your mailing with check. I’ve had nothing but great service for as long as I can remember. So IMO it can’t be much simpler and cheaper. As for clunky website, yeah it could be better and I don’t get the vitriol; it’s not that bad I think some folks (esp techies) are simply annoyed at Clink’s indifference to what they perceive as an easy upgrade. No idea how Canada complicates shipping.

Are prices still climbing or have they eased up a bit???
whomerjay replied to InfantTerrible's topic in Comics General
I agree that it is increasingly harder to buy collections cheaply, due to the stiff competition and multiple venues of sale. However, I'd be curious to hear from owners of brick and mortar stores of various sizes how frequently they are offered collections, and for what % of resale. I don't know but it seems that having a store still gives you the best opportunity to buy books at a cost that is not too close to FMV. -
How has this con been for dealers/attendees in the past? Is it more comics selling/buying, or exhibitors/cosplay? Will the site be providing a list of comic dealers attending?
