  1. I'm very familiar with how ComicLink works. For ComicLink Auctions the seller 100% of the time has to ship the item to ComicLink prior to the start of the auction. ComicLink scans each cover and attaches a description to the comic. It is only on the ComicLink Exchange that the seller has the option to keep the book in their possession until a price is agreed to between a buyer and a seller. The seller then ships the book to ComicLink, who then validates the item and ships it to the buyer. Sellers on the Exchange also have the option to send the book to ComicLink for storage prior to its sale on the Exchange. 

    Under normal circumstances ComicLink alllows auction sellers to drop off their comics at one of several major conventions where the firm has a booth every year. Obviously that is not an option right now. Sellers can also drop off their items in person at ComicLink's main office in Portland, Maine or its other office in Hoboken, New Jersey. If you plan to do this you need to contact the firm first and verify that this is an option during the pandemic.

    Regarding timing to receive auction wins, the firm has to ship out thousands of comic books at the end of each auction so it sometimes takes a bit of time to get every item shipped out. There is no need to be nervous as you are 100% guaranteed that your auction win will be sent to you once you've paid for it. 

     

  2. I love the promotional items. They must be incredibly rare. I did want to point that here was nothing wrong with the Silver Age  Hawkman's helmet in the group shot. It is the one he wore in his first four appearances, Brave and the Bold #34, #35, #36 and #42 in 1961 and 1962. The more familiar helmet was first used in #43. Also, that is pretty much what the Martian Manhunter looked like at the time.
