Pedigree Comics Now Accepting Consignments For November Grand Auction!

[Captain Tripps]

The high grade books are coming in for our upcoming November Grand Auction, scheduled to begin in under four (4) weeks on the night of Monday, November 10th, 2014, and last for ten (10) days until the evening of Thursday, November 20th. The auction will have some brand new choice high grade CGC certified Marvels and DC’s from the Silver and Bronze Ages and much more. 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 20,000 customers announcing the individual auction items. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and almost every book will be listed without a reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $100.

 

The focus of this article is the CGC grades on the fabulous group of books that we purchased at the recent Baltimore Comic Con in early September. The books (over 40 in total) are all Silver Age Marvels and DC’s in high grade, with the average grade being 9.4. The books were just certified a couple of weeks ago by the CGC and are in the process of being scanned and uploaded into the Auction Preview. There are many great books to choose from, including a nice group of Batmans. Here are the highlights:

Please make sure to check the Latest News section of the web site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and this space in the next few weeks for all the latest news and additions to the November Grand Auction, including the group of books from the Brooklyn Original Owner Collection that we just picked up at the New York Comic Con last weekend.

 

We will continue to accept consignments for the auction until midnight on Thursday, November 13th.

 

Pedigree also offers generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site and read the following for consignment instructions and get your books in now.

 

We invite you to take advantage of our many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, 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 the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, 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 as follows:

 

A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned items with a winning bid as follows:

10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price); 9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price); 8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price); 6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price); 5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price);

 

Pedigree Comics consistently sets new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books and magazines in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else?

 

There are three easy ways to consign your books to any of our upcoming Grand Auctions. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $100.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in a Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our ad in the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign:

 

1. Ship your books directly to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The books will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made.

2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at 550 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera.

3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System. Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and list your own CGC certified books and magazines. We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the November Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System.
