CGC Grades In From Chicago ComicCon For Pedigree Comics’ September Grand Auction

[Captain Tripps]

The CGC grades on the over 100 books purchased at the recent Chicago Comic Con are starting to come in for our upcoming September Grand Auction, scheduled to begin in three (3) weeks, on the night of Saturday, September 22nd, 2012 and last for ten (10) days until the evening of Tuesday, October 2nd. The auction will have a few hundred choice high grade CGC certified Marvels and DC’s from the Silver and Bronze Ages including many key and first appearance issues. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure and press they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise 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 almost every book (over 90%) will be listed without a reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $100. You can view over 70 books in the Auction Preview right now at www.PedigreeComics.com under the Grand Auctions banner.

 

These are the initially graded books from the Chicago show (just certified over the last couple of days). There are many great books to choose from as follows, all Marvels and DC’s from the Silver and Bronze Ages:

Consignors maximize their profits selling in 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. Pedigree’s 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 September 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 September Grand Auction to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to utilize the Automated Consignment System.
