  1. Pedigree Comics' November 9.6/9.8 West Coast Spider-Man Auction ends tomorrow night, Wednesday November 10th. The first lot (Amazing Spider-Man #1 4.5) ends at 9:18 PM EST on Wednesday, November 10th and the last lot (X-Men #137 9.6) ends at 11:30. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and EVERY book has no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $100 for this auction. You can bid on the high grade Spider-Man comics in the Auction Listing right now (over 225 books). Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Auction banner. The brand new Spider-Man run (called the West Coast Spider-Man Collection) was purchased by pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell, in August, 2021 for the total sum of $510,000. The owner of the collection bought only high grade Amazing Spider-Man issues (up to #150) plus a few key Copper Age issues. He also bought any Silver Age comic he could find in high grade in which Spider-Man makes a cover appearance! The collection contains over 140 issues between #6 and #150 plus issues 194, 238, 252, 300, 361 and Annuals 2, 3 and 5, as well as almost 15 key issues from other titles with Spidey on the cover and almost every book is in CGC graded 9.6 or higher!! Every issue from #99 up is in 9.8 and most of the early issues are in 9.6 or 9.8! Most of the books have white pages and there are a few pedigree copies in the run (Boston, Northland, Oakland, Suscha News and Twin cities). All 150 plus issues are featured in the November West Coast Spider-Man Auction and are offered with no reserve amount. There are many great issues and iconic covers in the run and almost every book is the highest certified copy to date. This is the chance to upgrade your own Amazing Spider-Man collection or Registry Set with some of the absolute nicest issues of Amazing Spider-Man ever offered for sale and just in time for the new Spider-Man: No Way Home motion picture opening worldwide on December 17th, 2021!! The MCU film was originally supposed to be released in July but it was delayed until November following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus due to the delays in filming. It was subsequently moved to its December release date. In spite of the fact that the movie has suffered from the delays, Spider-Man: No Way Home remains one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Tom Holland will reprise his role as the MCU’s webslinger and he will be joined by Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. But the two Avengers and the Spider-Man cast aren’t the only major names in the mix. Spider-Man: No Way Home will feature a gigantic cast. While previous Spider-Man stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon and Marisa Tomei will be reprising their roles, they will also be joined by other stars from the wider MCU as well as stars from previous unrelated Spider-Man movies. Former Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, along with respective love interests Kirsten Dunst and Emma Stone, are also rumored to appear in some capacity as well, along with Willem Dafoe and Daredevil‘s Charlie Cox. Here are some of the highlights of the West Coast Spider-Man Collection: Amazing Spider-Man 6 9.4 Amazing Spider-Man 10 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 12 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 13 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 15 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 16 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 19 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 20 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 22 9.4 Amazing Spider-Man 24 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 31 9.4 Amazing Spider-Man 32 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 33 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 34 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 37 9.7 Amazing Spider-Man 38 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 40 9.4 Amazing Spider-Man 41 9.6 (Boston) Amazing Spider-Man 42 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 43 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 44 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 46 9.6 (Twin Cities) Amazing Spider-Man 48 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 49 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 51 9.6 (Northland) Amazing Spider-Man 52 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 53 9.4 (Boston) Amazing Spider-Man 55 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 56 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 57 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 59 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 62 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 64 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 68 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 72 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 73 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 78 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 81 9.8 (Oakland) Amazing Spider-Man 83 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 84 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 85 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 88 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 91 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 97 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 99 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 100 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 101 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 102 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 104 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 114 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 115 9.8 (Twin Cities) Amazing Spider-Man 117 9.8 (Suscha News) Amazing Spider-Man 121 9.8 (Suscha News) Amazing Spider-Man 122 9.8 (Suscha News) Amazing Spider-Man 124 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 129 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 134 9.8 (Suscha News) Amazing Spider-Man 135 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 194 9.8 (Newsstand) Amazing Spider-Man 238 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 252 9.8 (Newsstand) Amazing Spider-Man 300 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 361 9.8 (Newsstand) Avengers 11 9.6 Captain America 137 9.6 Captain America 138 9.6 Daredevil 16 9.6 Daredevil 17 9.6 Daredevil 27 9.6 Doctor Strange 179 9.6 Fantastic Four 73 9.6 (Suscha News) Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars 8 9.8 (Newsstand) Silver Surfer 14 9.6 Tales to Astonish 57 9.4 X-Men 35 9.4 Here are some of the highlights from the other high grade, non-Spider-Man Marvels and DC's in the auction: Batman 160 9.4 Black Panther 1 9.8 Captain America 117 8.5 Conan the Barbarian 1 9.4 Daredevil 1 4.5 Eternals 1 9.8 Fantastic Four 36 9.0 Fantastic Four 43 9.4 Fantastic Four 46 8.5 Fantastic Four 49 7.5 Iron Fist 14 9.2 Justice League of America 9 9.4 Marvel Premiere 15 9.8 Marvel Spotlight 5 9.4 New Gods 1 9.6 New Mutants 98 9.8 Silver Surfer 1 9.2 Silver Surfer 4 8.5 Special Marvel Edition 15 9.6 Strange Tales 110 6.5 Uncanny X-Men 142 9.8 X-Men 3 9.6 X-Men 94 9.2 X-Men 101 9.8 X-Men 123 9.8 If you have any questions or comments about the November West Coast Spider-Man Auction, please contact Pedigree Comics CEO and President, Doug Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

If you have high grade CGC certified comic books to sell or consign, do yourself a favor and contact Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell. Please go to the site (www.PedigreeComics.com)and read the following for all consignment information or contact him directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We are still accepting consignments for the West coast Spider-Man Auction and will continue to accept new books until the night of Monday, November 1st. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 25,000 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now. Mr. Schmell invites you to take advantage of Pedigree’s many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, more so than on any other auction site or auction house. We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows: A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows: 10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price). We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. We also specialize and feature quality consignments and collections in their own exclusive auction, something that other auction houses simply can not do. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else? There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming West Coast Spider-Man Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the November auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign: 1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera. 3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System. Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and list your own CGC certified books. We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System. If you have any questions or comments about the consignment process, any of the auction lots or about the West Coast Spider-Man Auction in general, please contact Mr. Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

Please go to the site (www.PedigreeComics.com)and read the following for all consignment information or contact him directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We are now accepting consignments for the West coast Spider-Man Auction and will continue to accept new books until the night of Monday, November 1st. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 25,000 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now. Mr. Schmell invites you to take advantage of Pedigree’s many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, more so than on any other auction site or auction house. We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows: A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows: 10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price). We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. We also specialize and feature quality consignments and collections in their own exclusive auction, something that other auction houses simply can not do. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else? There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming West Coast Spider-Man Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the November auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign: 1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera. 3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System. Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and list your own CGC certified books. We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System. If you have any questions or comments about the consignment process, any of the auction lots or about the West Coast Spider-Man Auction in general, please contact Mr. Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. For any financial related and consignment payment questions, please contact our CFO, Lisa Shapiro, at LisaJoy@pedigreecomics.com and for any technical related questions or concerns, please contact our Web Master at WebDesigner@pedigecomics.com.
  5. Pedigree Comics' World's Best Wolverine Auction ends tonight, Thursday, October 14th. The first lot (Amazing Spider-Man #1 9.8 CGC Signature SERIES) ends at 7:22 PM EST and the last lot (X-Men Annual #14 9.8) ends at 11:30 PM. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and every listing has no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $20 for this auction. You can bid on all of the high grade comics in the Auction Listing right now (over 600 books). Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Auction banner. The brand new Wolverine consignment (almost 500 books in total) contains a complete run of Wolverine Limited Series and Wolverine plus most of the Annuals and Variants and is easily the nicest and highest certified group of Wolverine comic books ever offered for sale! EVERY issue (save for one) is at least a CGC certified 9.8, with many 9.9's and 10.0's, including a Wolverine Limited Series #1 in 9.9 and Wolverine #1 in 9.9! Amazingly, every issue in the collection that is not a 9.8 is a 9.9 or a 10.0 save for the impossible to find Wolverine #145 "Bone Claw" issue in 9.6! The consignment comes out of Washington state and the CGC Registry Set and Award Winning collection of Steve Nelsen, an X-Men and Wolverine enthusiast and collector who is well known on the CGC boards under his handle, worldsbestcomics. Here is his story: “Whenever a comic collector was introduced to Steve Nelsen, worldsbestcomics on the CGC Boards, they would frequently ask, “Do you have the world’s best comics?” And he would smile and reply, “I have some of them.” Boy is that the truth. I’ve enjoyed reading comics my whole life but I didn’t really begin collecting comics until the new X-Men launched in 1975. I focused on bronze and copper Marvel books because that is what I enjoyed and could afford and put most of my collecting attention on my favorite character, Wolverine. But I also enjoyed Valiant books and silver age Disney books and sketch covers. I collected coins with my dad when I was a kid and he taught me to appreciate high-grade items. I remember when CGC first started grading comics. There were a lot of dealers and collectors who scoffed and treated them as a novelty. But I remembered how professional 3rd party grading from reputable companies like NGC had changed the coin collecting market and I believed the same thing would happen to comics. So I began focusing my collection on high-grade CGC books, especially mint grade books when I could find them. I was always very picky about the condition of my comics, even before CGC, so many of the books in my CGC runs were submitted from my personal collection. I had always planned on selling my books around 2025 but there is so much demand for them now that I felt the timing was good. I have bought a lot of books from Pedigree Comics over the years and I felt selling my collection with Doug would make the process more enjoyable; more of a celebration of a lot of fun work and wise decisions. I really enjoyed finding visually superior books, digging out rare variants and getting difficult signatures so there are a lot of books in this Wolverine auction that will be particularly appealing to discriminating collectors and completists. Some examples are the first, and highest graded, copy of the super rare “Bone Claws” Wolverine 145 error variant; the Bill Sienkiewicz signed 9.8 copy of Wolverine #145 Nabisco Variant, the 9.8 copy of the Wolverine 1 Campbell Variant (Wolverine #1 from 2010), a gorgeous 9.6 copy of Incredible Hulk #180 from the Winnipeg pedigree, all of the CGC Signature SERIES copies and some very hard to find 9.8 second prints and newsstand editions that are far more valuable than the first prints. But, it would be wrong to gloss over and fail to mention all the mint books. There has never been an auction with this many (over 20) CGC-graded 9.9 and 10.0 Wolverine books, including key issues like Wolverine Limited Series #1 (1982), Wolverine #1 (1988) and Wolverine #1 (2003). This a rare opportunity to upgrade even the very best Wolverine collections." All 450-plus issues will be featured in the October Grand Auction and will be offered with no reserve amount. As an added bonus, EVERY book has white page quality!! There are many great issues and iconic covers included in the run and almost every book is the single highest or highest certified copy to date. Here are some of the highlights: Wolverine Limited Series 1 9.9 Wolverine Limited Series 3 9.9 Wolverine Limited Series 4 9.9 Wolverine: Inner Fury nn 9.9 Wolverine: The Jungle Adventure nn 9.9 Wolverine 1 9.9 (1988) Wolverine 16 9.9 Wolverine 45 9.9 Wolverine 56 9.9 Wolverine 62 9.9 Wolverine 64 9.9 Wolverine 66 9.9 Wolverine 67 9.9 Wolverine 68 9.9 Wolverine 77 9.9 Wolverine 86 9.9 Wolverine 89 9.9 Wolverine 91 9.9 Wolverine 145 9.8 Nabisco Variant Cover (CGC Signature SERIES) Wolverine 145 9.6 "Bone Claws" Manufacturing Error Wolverine 1 9.9 (2003) Wolverine 20 10.0 Wizard World Con Edition (CGC Signature SERIES) Wolverine 26 9.9 Limited Edition Wolverine 1 9.8 (2010) Campbell Deadpool Variant Cover In addition, the auction features a brand new group of high grade, high end, CGC certified Silver and Bronze Age Marvels and a couple of DC's from a few different consignments and collections. These books were just recently added to the Auction Listing last weekend. Here are the highlights of the new Marvel additions: Amazing Spider-Man 7 8.5 Amazing Spider-Man 15 9.2 Amazing Spider-Man 39 8.5 Amazing Spider-Man 100 9.4 Amazing Spider-Man 129 8.0 Amazing Spider-Man 212 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 238 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 265 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 361 9.8 Amazing Spider-Man 362 9.8 Avengers 12 9.0 Avengers 24 9.2 Avengers 53 9.0 Black Panther 1 9.8 Captain America 117 8.5 Captain America 204 9.6 (CGC Signature Series) Conan the Barbarian 1 9.4 Daredevil 2 9.2 Daredevil 3 9.2 Eternals 1 9.8 Eternals 1 9.6 Eternals 2 9.8 Eternals 2 9.6 Eternals 3 9.8 Fantastic Four 11 9.0 Fantastic Four 17 8.0 Fantastic Four 36 9.0 Fantastic Four 39 8.5 Fantastic Four 43 9.4 Fantastic Four 43 8.5 Fantastic Four 46 8.5 Fantastic Four 48 7.5 Fantastic Four 49 7.5 Fantastic Four 60 9.4 Fantastic Four 112 9.2 Giant-Size X-Men 1 9.6 Hawkman 18 9.4 Incredible Hulk 180 9.6 (Winnipeg) Incredible Hulk 181 9.4 Incredible Hulk 181 8.5 Incredible Hulk 182 Qualified 9.8 (Winnipeg) Incredible Hulk 330 9.6 (CGC Signature Series) Incredible Hulk Annual 1 9.6 Iron Fist 14 9.2 Journey Into Mystery 83 6.5 Justice League of America 9 9.4 Marvel Comics Presents 72 9.8 Marvel Feature 1 9.0 Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars 1 9.8 Marvel Premiere 1 9.8 Marvel Premiere 15 9.2 New Gods 1 9.6 New Mutants 98 9.8 New Mutants 98 9.6 Nova 1 9.8 Savage She-Hulk 1 9.8 Silver Surfer 1 8.0 Silver Surfer 4 8.5 Star Wars 42 9.8 Uncanny X-Men 142 9.8 Uncanny X-Men 266 9.6 Wolverine 1 9.8 Wolverine Limited Series 1 9.8 X-Men 1 6.0 X-Men 94 9.2 X-Men 96 9.6 X-Men 123 9.8 X-Men 141 9.8 X-Men Annual 14 9.8 Please make sure to check out the upcoming November Grand Auction featuring a brand new Super High Grade Amazing Spider-Man run from the West Coast, starting on November 1st.

If you have high grade CGC certified comic books to sell or consign, do yourself a favor and contact Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell. Please go to the site (www.PedigreeComics.com)and read the following for all consignment information or contact him directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We are still accepting consignments for the World's Best Wolverine Auction and will continue to accept new books until the night of Monday, October 4th. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 25,000 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now. Mr. Schmell invites you to take advantage of Pedigree’s many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, more so than on any other auction site or auction house. We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows: A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows: 10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price). We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. We also specialize and feature quality consignments and collections in their own exclusive auction, something that other auction houses simply can not do. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else? There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming World's Best Wolverine Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the October auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign: 1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera. 3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System. Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and list your own CGC certified books. We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System. If you have any questions or comments about the consignment process, any of the auction lots or about the World's Best Wolverine Auction in general, please contact Mr. Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

  10. Big News! We recently received on consignment an incredible run of Copper Age Wolverines for our upcoming October Grand Auction. The auction is scheduled to begin on the night of Monday, October 4th and last for ten (10) days until the night of Thursday, October 14th as a separate event on the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com). There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and EVERY book will have no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $20 for this Auction. You can view the initial high grade X-Men comics in the Auction Preview right now (almost 300 lots). Just go to the website and click on the Auction banner. The brand new Wolverine consignment (almost 500 books in total) contains a complete run of Wolverine Limited Series and Wolverine plus most of the Annuals and Variants and is easily the nicest and highest certified group of Wolverine comic books ever offered for sale! EVERY issue (save for a couple) is at least a CGC certified 9.8, with many 9.9's and 10.0's, including a Wolverine Limited Series #1 in 9.9 and Wolverine #1 in 9.9! Amazingly, every issue in the collection that is not a 9.8 is a 9.9 or a 10.0! The consignment comes out of Washington state and the CGC Registry Set and Award Winning collection of Steve Nelsen, an X-Men and Wolverine enthusiast and collector who is well known on the CGC boards under his handle, worldsbestcomics. Here is his story: “Whenever a comic collector was introduced to Steve Nelsen, worldsbestcomics on the CGC Boards, they would frequently ask, “Do you have the world’s best comics?” And he would smile and reply, “I have some of them.” Boy is that the truth. I’ve enjoyed reading comics my whole life but I didn’t really begin collecting comics until the new X-Men launched in 1975. I focused on bronze and copper Marvel books because that is what I enjoyed and could afford and put most of my collecting attention on my favorite character, Wolverine. But I also enjoyed Valiant books and silver age Disney books and sketch covers. I collected coins with my dad when I was a kid and he taught me to appreciate high-grade items. I remember when CGC first started grading comics. There were a lot of dealers and collectors who scoffed and treated them as a novelty. But I remembered how professional 3rd party grading from reputable companies like NGC had changed the coin collecting market and I believed the same thing would happen to comics. So I began focusing my collection on high-grade CGC books, especially mint grade books when I could find them. I was always very picky about the condition of my comics, even before CGC, so many of the books in my CGC runs were submitted from my personal collection. I had always planned on selling my books around 2025 but there is so much demand for them now that I felt the timing was good. I have bought a lot of books from Pedigree Comics over the years and I felt selling my collection with Doug would make the process more enjoyable; more of a celebration of a lot of fun work and wise decisions. I really enjoyed finding visually superior books, digging out rare variants and getting difficult signatures so there are a lot of books in this Wolverine auction that will be particularly appealing to discriminating collectors and completists. Some examples are the first, and highest graded, copy of the super rare “Bone Claws” Wolverine 145 error variant; the Bill Sienkiewicz signed 9.8 copy of Wolverine #145 Nabisco Variant, the 9.8 copy of the Wolverine 1 Campbell Variant (Wolverine #1 from 2010), a gorgeous 9.6 copy of Incredible Hulk #180 from the Winnipeg pedigree, all of the CGC Signature SERIES copies and some very hard to find 9.8 second prints and newsstand editions that are far more valuable than the first prints. But, it would be wrong to gloss over and fail to mention all the mint books. There has never been an auction with this many (over 20) CGC-graded 9.9 and 10.0 Wolverine books, including key issues like Wolverine Limited Series #1 (1982), Wolverine #1 (1988) and Wolverine #1 (2003). This a rare opportunity to upgrade even the very best Wolverine collections." All 450-plus issues will be featured in the October Grand Auction and will be offered with no reserve amount. As an added bonus, EVERY book has white page quality!! There are many great issues and iconic covers included in the run and almost every book is the single highest or highest certified copy to date. Here are some of the highlights: Wolverine Limited Series 1 9.9 Wolverine Limited Series 3 9.9 Wolverine Limited Series 4 9.9 Wolverine: Inner Fury nn 9.9 Wolverine: The Jungle Adventure nn 9.9 Wolverine 1 9.9 (1988) Wolverine 16 9.9 Wolverine 45 9.9 Wolverine 56 9.9 Wolverine 62 9.9 Wolverine 64 9.9 Wolverine 66 9.9 Wolverine 67 10.0 Wolverine 68 9.9 Wolverine 77 9.9 Wolverine 86 9.9 Wolverine 89 9.9 Wolverine 91 9.9 Wolverine 145 9.8 Nabisco Variant Cover (CGC Signature SERIES) Wolverine 145 9.6 "Bone Claws" Manufacturing Error Wolverine 1 9.9 (2003) Wolverine 20 10.0 Wizard World Con Edition (CGC Signature SERIES) Wolverine 26 9.9 Limited Edition Wolverine 1 9.8 (2010) Campbell Deadpool Variant Cover Please check the website over the next few weeks for all the details and new listings in the auction.

  11. Pedigree Comics' World's Best X-Men Auction ends tomorrow night, Thursday, September 9th beginning at 7:28 pm EST. The auction began on the night of Monday, August 30th as a separate event on the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com). The first lot (Amazing Spider-Man # 4.5) ends at 7:28 PM EST on Thursday, September 9th and the last lot (X-Men Annual #15 9.8) ends at 11:30 PM. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and every listing has no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $20 for this auction. You can bid on all of the high grade comics in the Auction Listing right now (almost 600 books). Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Auction banner. The brand new X-Men consignment contains a complete run of over 500 issues between Giant-Size X-Men #1 and Uncanny X-Men #544 plus most of the Annuals and is easily the nicest and highest certified group of Bronze Age X-Men ever offered for sale! EVERY issue is at least a CGC certified 9.8, with many 9.9's and 10.0's, including a complete 9.8 run of CGC Signature Series signed Paul Smith issues!! Amazingly, every issue in the collection that is not a 9.8 is a 9.9 or a 10.0! The consignment comes out of Washington state and the CGC Registry Set and Award Winning collection of Steve Nelsen, an X-Men and Wolverine enthusiast and collector who is well known on the CGC boards under his handle, worldsbestcomics. Here is his story: “Whenever a comic collector was introduced to Steve Nelsen, worldsbestcomics on the CGC Boards, they would frequently ask, “Do you have the world’s best comics?” And he would smile and reply, “I have some of them.” Boy is that the truth. I’ve enjoyed reading comics my whole life but I didn’t really begin collecting comics until the new X-Men launched in 1975. I focused on bronze and copper Marvel books because that is what I enjoyed and could afford. But I also enjoyed Valiant books and silver age Disney books and sketch covers. I collected coins with my dad when I was a kid and he taught me to appreciate high-grade items. I remember when CGC first started grading comics. There were a lot of dealers and collectors who scoffed and treated them as a novelty. But I remembered how professional 3rd party grading from reputable companies like NGC had changed the coin collecting market and I believed the same thing would happen to comics. So I began focusing my collection on high-grade CGC books, especially mint grade books when I could find them. I was always very picky about the condition of my comics, even before CGC, so many of the books in my CGC runs were submitted from my personal collection. I had always planned on selling my books around 2025 but there is so much demand for them now that I felt the timing was good. I have bought a lot of books from Pedigree Comics over the years and I felt selling my collection with Doug would make the process more enjoyable; more of a celebration of a lot of fun work and wise decisions. I really enjoyed finding visually superior books, digging out rare variants and getting difficult signatures so there are a lot of books in these two auctions that will be particularly appealing to discriminating collectors and completists. Some examples besides all the mint books include “The White King”, a gorgeous and simply brilliant white copy of Giant-Size X-Men 1 that looks mint; 9.8 copies of the first appearance of Alpha Flight and The Hellfire Club (and, well, everyone since every book in the run is at least 9.8); the first (and only?) complete 9.8 run of signed Paul Smith X-Men issues; the first, and highest graded, copy of the super rare “Bone Claws” Wolverine 145 error variant; a 9.8 copy of the Wolverine 1 Campbell variant, and some very hard to find 9.8 2nd prints and newsstand editions that are far more valuable than the first prints. But, it would be wrong to gloss over and fail to mention all the mint books. There has never been an auction with this many (36 in all!) CGC-graded 9.9 and 10.0 X-Men and Wolverine books, including key issues like Wolverine Limited Series #1 (1982), Wolverine #1 (1988), Wolverine #1 (2003) and the first appearance of Gambit in X-Men Annual #14. This a rare opportunity to upgrade even the very best X-Men and Wolverine collections." All 500-plus issues are featured in the auction and are offered with no reserve amount. As an added bonus, EVERY book has white page quality (save for just a couple) with none less than off-white to white. There are many great issues and iconic covers included in the run and almost every book is the single highest or highest certified copy to date. Here are some of the highlights: Giant-Size X-Men 1 9.8 Uncanny X-Men 173 9.8 (CGC Signature SERIES) Uncanny X-Men 179 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 180 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 184 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 186 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 188 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 196 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 197 10.0 Uncanny X-Men 207 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 266 9.8 Uncanny X-Men 303 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 306 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 311 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 316 9.9 (Foil Edition) Uncanny X-Men 317 9.9 (Foil Edition) Uncanny X-Men 318 9.9 X-Men 96 9.8 X-Men 99 9.8 X-Men 100 9.8 X-Men 101 9.8 X-Men 101 9.8 (CGC Signature SERIES) X-Men 105 9.8 X-Men 107 9.8 X-Men 109 9.8 X-Men 114 9.8 X-Men 120 9.8 X-Men 121 9.8 X-Men 129 9.8 X-Men 130 9.8 X-Men 131 9.8 X-Men 132 9.8 X-Men 133 9.8 X-Men 136 9.8 X-Men 141 9.8 X-Men Annual 14 9.9 In addition, the auction features a brand new group of high grade, high end, CGC certified Silver and Bronze Age Marvels and a couple of DC's from the recent MegaCon show in Orlando. These books were just recently added to the Auction Listing this past weekend. Here are the highlights of the MegaCon books: Amazing Spider-Man 3 4.4 Amazing Spider-Man 62 9.4 Amazing Spider-Man 136 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 197 9.8 Avengers 19 9.2 Batman 232 9.6 Daredevil 1 4.5 Detective Comics 400 9.6 Fantastic Four 112 9.4 Flash 132 9.8 Flash 136 9.4 (Western Penn) Giant-Size X-Men 1 9.0 Incredible Hulk 181 8.5 Mystical Tales 1 9.0 New Mutants 98 9.6 Silver Surfer 3 9.6 (CGC Signature SERIES) Special Marvel Edition 15 9.6 Tales of Suspense 54 9.6 (Pacific Coast) Thor 337 9.8 (Canadian Price Variant) Please make sure to check out the upcoming Grand Auction featuring the second part of the World's Best Collection, the Wolverine issues, starting on October 4th.

If you have high grade CGC certified comic books to sell or consign, do yourself a favor and contact Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell. Please go to the site (www.PedigreeComics.com)and read the following for all consignment information or contact him directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We are still accepting consignments for the World's Best X-Men Auction and will continue to accept new books until the night of Monday, August 30th. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 25,000 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now. Mr. Schmell invites you to take advantage of Pedigree’s many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, more so than on any other auction site or auction house. We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows: A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows: 10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price). We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. We also specialize and feature quality consignments and collections in their own exclusive auction, something that other auction houses simply can not do. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else? There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming World's Best X-Men Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the September auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign: 1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera. 3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System. Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and list your own CGC certified books. We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System. If you have any questions or comments about the consignment process, any of the auction lots or about the World's Best X-Men & Wolverine Auctions in general, please contact Mr. Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

  14. X-TRA! X-TRA! Read all about it! We just received on consignment an incredible run of Bronze Age X-Men for our upcoming September Grand Auction. The auction is scheduled to begin on the night of Monday, August 30th and last for ten (10) days until the night of Thursday, September 9th as a separate event on the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com). There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and EVERY book will have no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $20 for this Auction. You can view the initial high grade X-Men comics in the Auction Preview right now (almost 400 lots). Just go to the website and click on the Auction banner. The brand new X-Men run contains over 500 issues between Giant-Size X-Men #1 and Uncanny X-Men #544 plus most of the Annuals and is easily the nicest and highest certified group of Bronze Age X-Men ever offered for sale! EVERY issue is at least a CGC certified 9.8, with many 9.9's and 10.0's, including a complete 9.8 run of CGC Signature Series signed Paul Smith issues!! Amazingly, every issue in the collection that is not a 9.8 is a 9.9 or a 10.0! The consignment comes out of Washington state and the CGC Registry Set and Award Winning collection of Steve Nelsen, an X-Men and Wolverine enthusiast and collector who is well known on the CGC boards under his handle, worldsbestcomics. Here is his story: “Whenever a comic collector was introduced to Steve Nelsen, worldsbestcomics on the CGC Boards, they would frequently ask, “Do you have the world’s best comics?” And he would smile and reply, “I have some of them.” Boy is that the truth. I’ve enjoyed reading comics my whole life but I didn’t really begin collecting comics until the new X-Men launched in 1975. I focused on bronze and copper Marvel books because that is what I enjoyed and could afford. But I also enjoyed Valiant books and silver age Disney books and sketch covers. I collected coins with my dad when I was a kid and he taught me to appreciate high-grade items. I remember when CGC first started grading comics. There were a lot of dealers and collectors who scoffed and treated them as a novelty. But I remembered how professional 3rd party grading from reputable companies like NGC had changed the coin collecting market and I believed the same thing would happen to comics. So I began focusing my collection on high-grade CGC books, especially mint grade books when I could find them. I was always very picky about the condition of my comics, even before CGC, so many of the books in my CGC runs were submitted from my personal collection. I had always planned on selling my books around 2025 but there is so much demand for them now that I felt the timing was good. I have bought a lot of books from Pedigree Comics over the years and I felt selling my collection with Doug would make the process more enjoyable; more of a celebration of a lot of fun work and wise decisions. I really enjoyed finding visually superior books, digging out rare variants and getting difficult signatures so there are a lot of books in these two auctions that will be particularly appealing to discriminating collectors and completists. Some examples besides all the mint books include “The White King”, a gorgeous and simply brilliant white copy of Giant-Size X-Men 1 that looks mint; 9.8 copies of the first appearance of Alpha Flight and The Hellfire Club (and, well, everyone since every book in the run is at least 9.8); the first (and only?) complete 9.8 run of signed Paul Smith X-Men issues; the first, and highest graded, copy of the super rare “Bone Claws” Wolverine 145 error variant; a 9.8 copy of the Wolverine 1 Campbell variant, and some very hard to find 9.8 2nd prints and newsstand editions that are far more valuable than the first prints. But, it would be wrong to gloss over and fail to mention all the mint books. There has never been an auction with this many (36 in all!) CGC-graded 9.9 and 10.0 X-Men and Wolverine books, including key issues like Wolverine Limited Series #1 (1982), Wolverine #1 (1988), Wolverine #1 (2003) and the first appearance of Gambit in X-Men Annual #14. This a rare opportunity to upgrade even the very best X-Men and Wolverine collections." All 500-plus issues will be featured in the September Grand Auction and will be offered with no reserve amount. As an added bonus, EVERY book has white page quality (save for just a couple) with none less than off-white to white. There are many great issues and iconic covers included in the run and almost every book is the single highest or highest certified copy to date. Here are some of the highlights: Giant-Size X-Men 1 9.8 Uncanny X-Men 173 9.8 (CGC Signature SERIES) Uncanny X-Men 179 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 180 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 184 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 186 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 188 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 196 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 197 10.0 Uncanny X-Men 207 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 266 9.8 Uncanny X-Men 303 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 306 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 311 9.9 Uncanny X-Men 316 9.9 (Foil Edition) Uncanny X-Men 317 9.9 (Foil Edition) Uncanny X-Men 318 9.9 X-Men 96 9.8 X-Men 99 9.8 X-Men 100 9.8 X-Men 100 9.8 X-Men 101 9.8 (CGC Signature SERIES) X-Men 107 9.8 X-Men 109 9.8 X-Men 114 9.8 X-Men 120 9.8 X-Men 121 9.8 X-Men 129 9.8 X-Men 130 9.8 X-Men 141 9.8 X-Men Annual 14 9.9 Please check the website over the next few weeks for all the details and new listings in the auction. Please make sure to check out the upcoming Grand Auction featuring the second part of the collection, the Wolverine issues, starting on October 4th. If you have high grade CGC certified comic books to sell or consign, do yourself a favor and contact Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell. Please go to the site (www.PedigreeComics.com)and read the following for all consignment information or contact him directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We are still accepting consignments for the World's Best X-Men & Wolverine Auction and will continue to accept new books until the night of Monday, August 30th. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 25,000 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now. Mr. Schmell invites you to take advantage of Pedigree’s many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, more so than on any other auction site or auction house. We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows: A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows: 10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price). We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. We also specialize and feature quality consignments and collections in their own exclusive auction, something that other auction houses simply can not do. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else? There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming World's Best X-Men & wolverine Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the September auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign: 1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera. 3.

Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading).

We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System.

We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows: A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows: 10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price). We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else? There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming Late July Misc. Marvels Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the July auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign: 1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera. 3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System. Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and list your own CGC certified books. We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System. If you have any questions or comments about the consignment process, any of the auction lots or about the Late July Misc. Marvels Auction in general, please contact Mr. Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

If you have high grade CGC certified comic books to sell or consign, do yourself a favor and contact Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell. Please go to the site (www.PedigreeComics.com)and read the following for all consignment information or contact him directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We are still accepting consignments for the June Grand Auction and will continue to accept new books until the night of Wednesday, June 9th. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 25,000 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now. Mr. Schmell invites you to take advantage of Pedigree’s many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, more so than on any other auction site or auction house. We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows: A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows: 10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price). We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else? There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming June 9.8/9.6 Astonishing Hulk Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the June auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign: 1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera. 3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System.

The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System.
