I am currently selling my collection through Heritage. Their program does not allow you to bid on your own items. If I'm following the auction that my items are in, when my item comes up, it says "your consignment" and disables bidding on that item. Of course that could be defeated if you have a friend bid up the item which would be dishonest. Some of my items have done beyond expectations and others disappointing but all in all, it evens out.

You can view and bid on my entire consignment in the Sunday, Monday & Tuesday Comic Books Select Auction #122424 at the following link: https://comics.HA.com/c/search.zx?saleNo=122424&collection=31&FC=0&type=friend-consignorlive-notice

Weird Mysteries 4 Classic cover Witchcraft 5 Classic cover. War Against Crime 10 White Mountain Pedigree Also Ghost comics, L.B. Cole's, Planets, Etc.

I have 20 books in the current auction. The Blue Bolts, Eeries, Out or the Shadows 8 and other horror books are mine. Also the Modern Loves which are really nice. A couple of superhero books. Exciting 13 and Mystery Men 28, along with HOS 92. Some awesome books that took years to find. Hoping they will all find a good home.

Thanks. I have mixed feelings but have been thinking about it for quite a while. The hobby has gotten too expensive and wouldn't want to leave it to my wife to deal with, should anything happen to me.

Hey guys, After 40 years in the hobby, I've finally decided with mixed feelings to hang it up and sell my collection through Heritage Auctions. I've met a lot of good people throughout the years and have owned some great books. I thought I was out in 2008, selling my collection. Almost immediately I regretted it and attempted to rebuild for the last 16 years, though replacing some of those books wasn't possible I did accumulate a lot of nice mostly Golden & Silver Age comics which Heritage is auctioning for the rest of 2024 in weekly and Signature Auctions. The first auction is currently online and ends May 26,27,28. I've included a link. Some great Romance and Horror books. Check them out. https://comics.ha.com/c/search.zx?saleNo=122422&ic=Items-OpenAuctions-Open-BrowseCatalog-051914

My new method of grading. Grades in. Thanks Mike!

This is getting embarrassing and quite humbling. I'm old school grading and grade books the same, whether they're Golden or Modern. The Flash 122 graded an 8.0 with a front cover piece out on the right side? My grade 6.0. The Secret Wars 8 was a crime. Graded an 8.0 with rusty staples and paper degradation at the centerfold? I can see the paper further deteriorating over time. My grade 4.5.

Wow! Got my butt kicked on this round. I think they were all over graded besides the JLA 42

Count me in!

Not sure how it got to be an 8.5. Still looks like the same 8.0 to me IMO.

Grades in!

Guesses submitted.

Battlefront 15

Grades in.

Count me in Jon.

I'm shocked to hear this. Dealt with Ed personally in 2007 when he came to my house to review my collection and take it to Heritage for auction. Dealt with Ed a number of times since then on the phone. A real nice guy and straight shooter. My condolences to his family and close friends. A tremendous loss.

True rarity!

Wow! Such a tough book in grade with black cover. Beautiful copy.

I graded the Glamorous Romances a 3.5 due to the large staple tears. I can't see anywhere near a 5.0 for that book but maybe it's just me.

Hit 3 on the button. The Lois Lane at 7.0 seems vastly over graded based on the given defects. Wolf Gal #1 - 4.0 Aggie Mack #8 - 5.5 Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane #5 - 5.0 My Secret Life #19 - 5.5 Junie Prom #6 - 6.0

This is a PR nightmare for CGC. Reputation is everything in their business. They better reassure their customers fast that safeguards have been put in place, otherwise the bleeding will intensify. Personally, I'm sitting tight before submitting any more books to CGC.

Whoa!
