Pedigree Comics' January, 2020 Grand Auction is Underway. The auction began on the night of Monday, January 13th and lasts for ten (10) days until the night of Thursday, January 23rd as a separate event on the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com). The first half of lots (1st Issue Special #1 9.8 to Justice League of America #88 9.4) end beginning at 8:00 PM EST on the night of Wednesday, January 22nd and the second half of lots (Justice League of America #94 9.6 to X-Men #141 9.8) end on Thursday night, January 23rd beginning at 8:00. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and every item (save for a few) is listed without a reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $100 for this Grand Auction. You can view and bid on all 984 high grade comics and magazines in the Auction Listing right now. Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Auction banner.

The auction has many incredible runs and group of books plus many individual highest certified comics but the highlight is the incredible, original owner Bronze Age Marvel and DC find out of Davie, Florida. The Davie Collection is a brand new, recently certified, super high grade (almost all 9.6 and higher) CGC graded collection of Bronze Age Marvels and DC's plus magazines. The Davie Collection is just unbelievable and features over 600 brand new certified books. The collection spans the years 1968 through the mid 1980's and features almost every Marvel and DC title imaginable. There are approximately 600 comics in the collection and over 40 magazines, almost all in 9.6 and 9.8 CGC grade.

The collector bought every book brand new from a few different comic book shops located in South Florida and never read one of them! He just put each cherished book away in a mylar sleeve and backing board in acid free boxes and stored them in a climate controlled closet for the past 40 plus years. Hence, EVERY book (over 90% as a few are off-white to white) has snow white pages and unmatched cover gloss. Most of the books are 9.8 and 9.6 with the remainder in 9.4 and 9.2. There are many keys in the collection and most of the issues are the highest CGC graded copy with a few the single highest! EVERY Davie book is being auctioned with NO RESERVE.

Highlights from the Davie Collection include a phenomenal run of late Silver to early Bronze Age X-Men; an incredible selection of highest graded and single highest graded early 1970's DC horror; a great group of super high grade Superman titles; high grade Batmans and Detective Comics: a run of 9.8 Star Wars; highest certified Vampirellas and many, many more.

This is easily one of the very best auctions ever held for super high grade, investment quality Bronze Age Marvel and DC comic books. Many of the books are in CGC certified 9.8 (NM/M) condition and are the highest graded copies. A bunch are also the single highest graded. Many of the books were just recently graded by the CGC and many come from different consignments. Here are the highlights of the auction:

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 now accepting consignments for our March Grand Auction. 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 24,000 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 January Grand 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 January 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 January Grand 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.
