Hedge Collector Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I would probably lean towards Clink over Comicconnect right now, but that might change in a year or two when Cconnect gets more traction. I dunno about that. CC had some pretty good results with DC books. Tec 400, Flash 175. And of course, they set the bar with GL 76. Seems Sc 22 would be right up their ally. The current CL auction has very good books too, so I guess we can further judge prices realized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but Clink would have realized those prices too on the GL 76, Tec 400, etc. since they were the highest graded copies. Where Clink tends to amaze me is their prices on non-key and non-highest graded books. CC might be the best place to go in a year or two from now, but right now Clink is still the safest bet IMHO based on their track record (which CC is still developing).

Foolkiller Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I would choose Comic Connect at the moment for this specific book because they are better at generating the press machine over a number of different types of media -- I also think you are trying to set a record high with this book and you may have "less competition" to be the "prime" book in an auction. Comiclink gets a lot of top books -- and I think some really good ones can get lost -- I bet your book in C Connect auction would be one of the featured best 2 or 3. I predict you've got a $25k+ book on your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict you've got a $25k+ book on your hands. Good points. I stand corrected. (thumbs u My only issue is that CC has not been around long enough to have established a pattern of generating top prices. I consider the Action #1s in the past and those 9.6/9.8 highest graded DCs as gimmes to be honest - they would have fetched to dollar on either Clink or CC. However, I since this is a big $$$ book right now, I would probably go with whichever auction house gave me the best seller's rate (maybe negotiate 0% with CC?). Even a couple of points will mean decent coin in your pocket. (thumbs u Edited August 20, 2009 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey&comicsguy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 so . . . . I have a bunch of dealers wanting to sell my 8.5, where would you list it? Joe Out of curiosity what do you mean by this? Do you mean you're actively shopping the book around or do you mean you've been receiving unsolicited requests to broker a deal for you? I'm just curious as this is the best copy I have seen floating around and was wondering how much interest its garnering since you posted it. FWIW I would go with CLink. Sure, they will have more of the better books. But aside from the always present AF15's, they'd be hard pressed to find a better condition, hotter key book than this one right now for one of their Focused Auctions. Not saying CConnect wouldn't do a good job but my gut says CLink. Of course my gut has been known to have for brains. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing against people cracking out books but I think I would have a heart attack even considering doing so on a book like that. I'd be too nervous to handle it. Still, well done sir.

VintageComics Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Peewee's also cracked out his FF #1 and AF #15 and shared those pics with us. I'm thankful that the hobby has people like this as comics are for sharing, not hiding. Thanks for that! As I read my Showcase #22 from Chicago (just before I sold it on here last week) I thought about taking pics and then forgot about it. Thanks for that wonderful eyeful!
