Hi Grade Books From Philadelphia Comic Con in Pedigree Comics July Grand Auction

[Captain Tripps]

The high grade CGC certified comic books are now starting to come in for Pedigree Comics’ upcoming Grand Auction, scheduled to begin in just over four (4) weeks on the night of Monday, July 9th, 2012 and last for ten (10) days until the night of Thursday, July 19th. The auction will have a few hundred choice high grade CGC certified Marvels from the Silver and Bronze Ages and many other genres and publishers. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure and press they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertize each Grand Auction on many online sites and trade publications and we also send periodic newsletters to all of our over 18,000 customers announcing the individual auction items. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and most of the books will have no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $100. You can check out the Auction Preview right now at www.PedigreeComics.com.

Consignors maximize their profits selling in Pedigree’s Grand Auctions, 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 that Buyers Premium amount from their final bidding price, 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 under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale. We consistently set new sales records for Silver and Bronze Age comics in each Grand Auction and on our regular site inventory. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with new and diversified, top-rated CGC material in each event. Why settle for less by consigning with someone else?

 

Prospective consignors can also upload their own scans, item information, descriptions and reserve amounts for the July Grand Auction by utilizing the Automated Consignment System. It is actually very easy and fun to do. Just register onto the site, click "Customer Page" under "Your Account" and then click "Consignments" (under "Auctions"). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and upload your own CGC certified books and magazines. We will receive an email notification automatically once you have uploaded the information and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the July Grand Auction to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to utilize the Automated Consignment System.
