Hello there.
Just out of curiosity, exactly when will the auction be taking place, it will definitely be interesting to see what the final price will be on those gems. 

GLWS

Don't know yet, but will keep all notified when it comes.

Yes, they were pressed.

I hope you can attend the auction, Some will be in there Hakes auction book and some will be in the online auction.

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.

Thanks, I hope they sell well. Plus I have two ASM 171's a little bonus for us.

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

This one is the standout to me. I'm not sure heritage is the best place to sell these. Maybe some people use that, but the price variant market is a small but dedicated group, and since these generally come up very rarely, I don't think that many probably check heritage every week or for every major auction.

Talking with Hakes Auction out of York, Pa, they seem very interested. Thank you for your comment, I do not know how to properly price a comic that sets a new high grade. This is serious for me, to get the most I can for my family.

I'm trying to figure how to upload the pictures from my camera.

#1 - The first rule of Price Variant Club is, you do not talk about Price Variant Club.

#2 - The second rule of Price Variant Club is, you DO NOT talk about Price Variant Club.

#3 - If someone says that's one of the last five I need and pleads, you let him have it.

#4 - Nobody ends auctions early.

#5 - No flaming other members of Price Variant Club because they got the Ringo Kid 28 and you didn't.

#6 - Do not alert members of Price Variant Club for hidden variants. Let them find their own damn variants.

#7 - 35 cent variant collectors are insane.

#8 - If you found a variant through Price Variant Club, you have to find another one.

Nice. I got a bunch from a dealer in the midwest who advertised in the old CBG. I knew nothing about them and I guess he didnt either because he didn't mention them in the ad and I never noticed them for several years. 

very nice, neither did I know what they would become.

Where did they come from? did you buy them off the newsstands?

These are pretty scarce and command nice premiums for the most part. Do you have any Westerns?

Welcome to the boards.

Sorry, no westerns.

That’s awesome.  Where did you get them?

At a second hand book store in the late 70's.

I found 61 old Marvel 1977 .35 variants in a comic box in my closet and have had them graded by CGC.

I have 10 that are the highest graded.

14 that tie for the highest graded.

 and a bunch of second's  and thirds.

When I figure how to attach the files from CGC I will.

I recently found a box of comics I have had since the 1970's,

Going through it I found 61 Marvel 1977 .35 variants that I had forgotten about.

They are now all graded, and I am quite pleased with the results. I have ten that are the highest graded, 14 that tie for the highest graded, a bunch of number two's, and some that are the third highest graded

I have a  ASM #171 .35 variant just graded CGC 9.4
