Talking with Hakes Auction out of York, Pa, they seem very interested.

All of them will be interested, but if you are a seller trying to max return, how much are they taking and what are they charging as a buyers premium.  Heritage charges buyer 20% actually I know its more I haven't bought something there in a while.  So that factors into your bottom line as buyers will factor that into what they bid on items.

Top census variants are very hard to gauge depends on whos bidding and who wants a top census copy, I find that may variant collectors are not as condition fanatics, BUT with the ASM and X-Men you will get Registry collector who are condition fanatics.  Anyway good luck with the sales.

What I meant by serious is, I want to capture all the value of these .35 variants. And, I do appreciate the advise.

 

By far the best place to maximize the value for these is on Comiclink.

Heritage while excellent doesn't do a good job with Bronze Age books - that's not their focus. ComicConnect doesn't have the eyeballs. And Hake's? No.

I would call Comiclink and explain what you have - and after they pick their jaws off the floor - negotiate for high placement in one of their big time auctions. You'll get monster results from them.

I've already contacted Hakes Auctions and they are happy to have them, wish me luck.

Very beautiful books. Did you have some of these pressed before grading?

You also might want to think about a sales/auction thread here as there are some very serious collectors here (I know I would be very interested in the Godzilla #3 and am likely to miss it at whichever auction house)

I posted this in the Star Wars club, but it should do double-duty here.   The 35-cent variants were sold only in Memphis, Toledo, Tuscaloosa and Wilmington, and possibly two more  test areas, perhaps in Texas.   is there a definitive statement about which additional cities, if any, sold these price variants?     Fascinating stuff.

I would have expected (from stuff I saw on internet) that the remaining two cities would have included at least one Texas city.  Perhaps test cities numbered at least 7, including a city in Texas?

No. Only six. San Antonio was a test market for 30s.

This one I like, classic kinda cover lol

And it's the only one besides X-men #98 that I kind of actually search for, but mostly for already graded. Probably because I have #13 Warlock

I have found several 35 cent books with a store stamp “Comics and Comix” with a Berkeley CA address. 

Yep - that's the San Jose area.
