Pedigree Comics’ High Grade Marvels & Original Art Auction Begins October 10th!

[Captain Tripps]

Our upcoming October Grand Auction will include many new and recently graded Silver and Bronze Age high grade Marvels as well as our first ever original art offering. The auction is scheduled to begin in just one (1) week, on the night of Monday, October 10th and last for ten (10) days until the night of Thursday, October 20th as a separate event on the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com). The comic book listing of the auction ends on the night of Wednesday, October 19th and the original art listing ends on the night of Thursday, October 20th. There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and EVERY comic book listing will have no reserve (some of the original art items will be listed with a reserve). Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $100 for this Grand Auction. You can view over 475 high grade lots in the Auction Preview right now. Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Grand Auctions banner.

 

There are many incredible groups of books, runs as well as individual highest certified comics from a myriad of titles in the auction, many from a fabulous group of books that Pedigree Comics’ CEO and President, Doug Schmell, picked up at the San Diego Comic Con in July plus the Wizard World Chicago show in August and the Baltimore Comic Con in September.

Please check the website (www.PedigreeComics.com) and the Latest News section as well as this space next week (by Tuesday, October 11th) for all the last minute additions to the auction, including a batch of high grade Marvels that Mr. Schmell will be picking up this coming weekend at the New York Comic Con.

 

If you have high grade CGC or CBCS certified comic books to sell or consign, do yourself a favor and contact Pedigree Comics. Please go to the site and read the following for all consignment information or contact us directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

 

We are still accepting consignments for the October Marvel Grand Auction and will continue to do so until midnight on the night of October 12th. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 22,500 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now.

 

Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell, invites 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);

 

We consistently set 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 and CBCS 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 or CBCS 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 or CBCS grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement 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 optimum 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 or CBCS 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 Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System.
