I'm not going to waste my breath anymore about this silliness, as I have already been as open and honest as one can possibly be...but to put this issue to bed... the signed Lim Avenger's Gauntlet # 2 cover was in our possession and was sold in our last auction. Coollines forgot to remove it from their site...they have been alerted to this fact and it will be removed shortly. There has been no shilling on our part, and as I stated before just link Comiclink does we raised each and every lot to where the next bid would it any reserve that had not already been reached at the 24 hour period. As you all know...each and EVERY auction house has shill bids going on within its auctions. There is absoutly no way to avoid it. If one has an account at any auction house they cant bid on their own items, but whose to say they can't get a friend to help them out?? Thinking that this doesent happen everywhere is just not realistic. We DID NOT PLACE ONE BID ON ANY ITEM that was for sale in our art auction...beginning and end of story.

LOOKING FOR ORIGINAL ART TO PURCHASE...OR WANT TO SELL SOME? This week we got another 30 consignments leading up to our January 9-19th auction. The auction will have between 200-300 lots of original art. Anyone interested in consigning with us or have any questions on how you can make more money on your art then somewhere else....please feel free to contact us at 561-451-9800....or randypedigreecomics@aol.com. And check out the items that have started to preview at WWW.PEDIGREECOMICS.COM.

Yes. There will be a daily exchange as well where you can list your art with a buy it now price and also be able to get bids to accept, counter, or decline. Thanks for asking.

Mitch, I didn't think you were one of these people who have nothing better to do with their time but person_without_enough_empathy and moan on these boards! Are you really going to go as far as say such silly things? Doug had a bad situation happen to him almost 20 years ago! Since then he started by himself Pedigree Comics. He has turned that business into a very successful business and is thought of very highly by dealers and customers alike. Knowing me as long as you do, and after all the business I have given you over the many many years........do you think I would go into a business with someone I didnt trust...or didnt like the way he did business? So you have to announce you arent "going to bid or consign" on such a silly platfrom like this for the world to read? I thought you had more class than that. Shame on you. Randy

Good Morning to you all. I was notified about these threads reagrding Pedigree now selling art, and as the Art Consignment Director I felt the need to put everyones minds to rest and update you on what's going on. Firstly, yes Pedigree will now be selling Original Comic art and other related items in our auctions, and our daily exchange. This will go into effect with our October 10-20th auction. The ability to list art on our daily exchange will go into effect at this time as well. The reason that you aren't finding art items on the site as of today is that the website is getting a facelift and we aren't able to begin to preview any art until the site's new look is ready to go which should be in about 10 days or so. Because of this delay, we have begun to show some of the items that will be in our first art auction on CAF (Pedigree Auction House), and Facebook (Pedigree Art). Please feel free to check those out and like the page so you can follow our progression. We are getting in some really nice items, and the consignment's keep coming in! We are pleased so far as to what is coming our way. Of course it will take us a few auctions to be where we want to be, but it's all baby steps. As far as Doug Schmell is concerned...Doug has been in business for almost 13 years. He is an honest hard working guy. The things that are being said here really arent right or fair. For example, when Doug decided to sell his now very well known Marvel collection he could have easily sold it through his own site, but to not have people think negative thoughts he sold it through Heritage a few years ago, and they set record price sales on his books! I'm not going to say anything else regarding that as I'm really only here to alert you all about Pedigree's new venture into the world of art. Please have patience until the site is up and running with the new look and all the art will be availble to see. And also if you aren't already registered, please feel free to do that so you can bid in the auction or the daily exchange at www.pedigreecomics.com. As far as the Jim Lee Wizard cover goes, that piece happens to be mine. I gave it to Albert Moy to try and sell. He has had it for a few weeks, and it has not sold off his site, so I will be lisitng it in our auction with a reserve, and it will be taken off his site as soon as he gets to it. We are working a little differently than the other auction sites, because for us it's all about the consignor. If you have ANY questions...again feel free to contact me with them or with any questions regarding the possibility of consigning art with us. FYI: Our commission rates (only seller...no buyer commissions) are as follow: $1-$3000=10% $3,001-$80,000=8% $80,000 - =7% So at the end of the day you will put more cash in your pocket than other places. We have also partnered up with Hero Initiative, and they will have a major presence on our website. We will make the availability for all purchasers to make a donation to this very worthy cause upon checkout of their won items. We want to help out in anyway we can. We will be setting up at the September 25th art show in NJ. If anyway is going, please stop by and say hello. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope I was able to make things make a little more sense. Randy Lawrence 561 886 8777
