  1. MAJOR MARVEL NEWS! Pedigree Comics' May Mega Marvel Auction ends tonight, Wednesday May 24th. The first lot (5 Star Super-Hero Spectacular #1 9.0) ends at 8:07 PM EST on Wednesday May 24th 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 book is listed with no reserve. Every book is CGC certified, and the minimum bid is only $20 for this auction. You can view and bid on all the high grade comics in the Auction Listing right now (almost 500 books). Just go to the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com) and click on the Auction banner. There are many great Marvel titles and issues in the auction from a few different collections and consignments, including an incredible group of ultra high grade Silver Age keys (Marvel and DC) in 9.4 and higher plus a nice group of Golden Age books from low to ultra high grade, more Bronze Age Marvel Winnipegs and much, much more. The focus of this article is the brand new group of CGC certified Golden and Silver Age books (plus a couple from the 1970's and 80's) that were just recently consigned to Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell. These books are INCREDIBLE and many are the single highest or tied as the highest certified example to date (almost every one that is not highest certified is second highest!). The books come from a collection out of New Jersey and most were just graded by the experts at the CGC a few weeks ago. There are over 20 amazing books to choose from. Start saving your money, folks!!! Here are the highlights: All-American Comics 73 9.6 (Single highest Certified copy) Amazing Spider-Man 39 9.4 Amazing Spider-Man 101 9.6 Amazing Spider-Man 300 9.8 Avengers 57 9.8 (Highest Certified Copy) Batman 190 9.8 (Highest Certified Copy) Blackhawk 13 9.8 (Mile High) (Single Highest Certified Copy) Captain Science 1 9.6 (Single Highest Certified Copy) Crime Does Not Pay 27 9.4 (Highest Certified Copy) Crime Does Not Pay 34 9.6 (Single Highest Certified Copy) Famous Funnies 209 9.2 Giant-Size X-Men 1 9.6 Journey Into Mystery 96 9.6 Justice League of America 2 9.6 Silver Surfer 1 9.6 Silver Surfer 3 9.6 Strange Tales 11 9.2 (Northford) Strange Tales 14 9.6 (Northford) (Single Highest Certified Copy) Tales of Suspense 39 9.4 Tales to Astonish 27 8.5 Thunda 1 9.4 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 June Marvel & DC Grand Auction beginning on June 7th. 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 our 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. We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age and Modern comic books in each of our 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 June Grand Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $20.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the May 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. Please check the website (www.PedigreeComics.com) and the Latest News section over the next week for all the latest additions to the auction. If you have any questions or comments about the consignment process, any of the auction lots in the High Grade May Mega Marvel Auction or about the auctions in general, please contact Mr. Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

We are still accepting consignments for High Grade May Mega Marvel Auction and we will continue to do so until the night of Wednesday, May 10th.

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 our 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. We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age and Modern comic books in each of our 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 May Mega Marvel Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $20.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the May 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.

Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell, recently purchased a collection of all DC war titles and the entire collection is now live in our April DC Big 5 War Auction. The auction ends over two (2) nights beginning tonight, Tuesday, April 11th. The first half of lots will end on Tuesday night beginning at 8:49 PM EST and the second half of lots will end on Wednesday night, April 12th beginning at 8:50 PM.

Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell, invites you to take advantage of our 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. We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our 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 April Grand Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $20.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the April 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.

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. Please check the website (www.PedigreeComics.com) and the Latest News section over the next couple of weeks for all the latest additions to the auction.

  20. Pedigree Comics' Complete First 25 Years of Amazing Spider-Man Auction ends tonight, Wednesday, February 15th. The first lot (Amazing Spider-Man #1 2.0) ends at 8:09 PM EST on Wednesday night and the last lot (Zoo Funnies #2 9.4) ends at 11:30 PM EST. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and EVERY Amazing Spider-Man book and other lot is listed with no reserve. Every comic is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $20 for this special Amazing Spider-Man Auction. You can view and bid on all of the Amazing Spider-Man books and other titles in the Auction Listing right now (over 400 lots). Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Auction banner. The Amazing Spider-Man consignment comes from a collection out of the Philadelphia, PA area and consists of a complete mid to high grade run of Amazing Spider-Man #1-#297 (the first 25 years exactly of the title) plus Amazing Spider-Man Annuals and the Giant-Size Spider-Man issues. Most of the books in the consignment are in CGC certified mid to high grade condition (5.0 to 9.8) with only a few in the lower grades (some of the early issues). The collector began consigning his books piecemeal (all Silver Age Marvels and DC's) to Pedigree Comics in 2018 and has now decided to sell his coveted Amazing Spider-Run, his favorite part of his collection. Every issue is included in the first 25 years of the title and he has put together quite a run, with every book containing white or off-white to white pages (and only a few with off-white). Here is his story: "My parents encouraged me to read from a very early age, and I am sure comics played a part in their strategy. I think the first comic I purchased was Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #11 which would have been on the newsstand some time in 1956 when I was 6 years old. I was soon buying all of the Superman line (Action Comics, Superman, Superboy, Adventure Comics, Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane) and the Batman comics too (Detective Comics, Batman, and World’s Finest Comics) – all that my $1.00 a week allowance would bear! Comic distribution was quite different then, and not every large publisher was available at every newsstand or store. DC, Archie Comics and Classics Illustrated were all on sale at the main location I purchased my comics, Davis’s Trading Post, which is still a going entity, run by the original owner’s two sons and other family members. My grandmother had a corner store in Manayunk (an old, mixed ethic neighborhood in Philadelphia). My Dad would visit his Mom’s store weekly to do her books and to make sure she was doing OK. Grandma Annie would always give my Dad a bag of groceries to bring home with him, and in the bag were a few comics for me. Her store only sold some of the smaller publishers' comics: Dell, Harvey, American Comics Group and Gold Key. Of course, I was always very happy to get them. One day Davis’s Trading Post had a new comic that caught my attention, Brave and the Bold #28, and it opened my eyes to a whole new world, the JLA. Green Lantern became the first hero that I fantasized about being. Now if some darn alien would just give me that ring and the magic lantern. At this time, Davis’s Trading Post did not sell Atlas/Marvel Comics. But the little corner grocery store just up the block from me, DelManicor’s, did. And one fine day, I picked up Fantastic Four #4, and my world view as a 12 year-old opened to amazing new horizons. I soon was buying all their new superhero comics as they came out. My first issue of Amazing Spider-Man was issue #3. Around senior year of high school I became interested in other things and did not purchase comics as often as I had as a child. Around senior year of college, I got my first apartment, and began buying occasional comics at a corner store near my apartment in Chester. Then I began to work in Philadelphia, and started buying in the secondary market, issues I had missed previously, concentrating on Amazing Spider-Man. In 1976 Fat Jack’s Comic Crypt opened, and I became a regular customer. The owner, Mike, is a really great guy, and his store was my regular stop each week right up to when I stopped collecting comics around 1987-1988 (two years after I purchased my first house and was stuck paying a mortgage at 11% interest). A little while ago I visited Fat Jack’s to say hello to Mike and let him know I was planning to send my ASM collection to Doug (at Pedigree Comics) to sell. Mike remembered how I had talked about wanting to have ASM 1 to 300. Well, I almost got that far, as you will see just how far in this auction. Now I hope my comics will go to people who will treasure them for the next 20 to 50 years!". This is one of the best mid to high grade runs of Amazing Spider-Man ever brought to market and every book is being offered without a reserve!
