All I know is it starts today.  I won't know the end dates until it starts.  I'll come back later and let you know.

Oh, and I doubt they all end on the same date; they split them up. Just FYI.  If you look up any books you are interested in, the end date and time will show (at least once the auction starts.)  Auction start time is 8:00 PM ET today.

Just placed some tracking bids on a dozen or so. You may have previously mentioned but when are the other AMans going to be auctioned? You know the one I’m most thinking about.

The one's not in the October Focused Auction will be in Comiclink's November Featured Auction starting 11/17/2022.

Yes, will certainly be looking forward to your offerings in the November auction as we all know that CL saves their better books for their Featured Auctions, as opposed to their "lesser" Focused Auctions.

There's good stuff there now too, don't be too high-brow to look down on the fine offerings there now....

I would have to say with some of your Centaur offerings here in this CL Focused Auction, it's not so much a matter of looking down, but really so much more a matter of looking up.

Good luck with the auction! 

It's been allot of fun looking through the scans!  It seems like a good time to be selling rare GA books!

I hope so, we will see.  It has been with my previous auctions, but this round is so many PLODS I'm not sure what to expect.  Being a Centaur collector my view is you grab what you can, when you can, and you hold until you are lucky enough to find an upgrade later.  Often there just plain may not be a later.  That's the nature of scarce & rare book collecting.  Also, it's always good to have copies of Centaurs to use as trade-fodder; sometimes it's the only way to get Centaurs in trade is to offer other Centaurs.

Going silver age for a second here. Couldn't help but notice this other grading company (not CBCS) 9.9. Thoughts if it's appropriately graded?

I’ll leave this for more knowledgeable boardies, but since this might belong to a boardie I will keep my thoughts to myself

I suspect it will sell for somewhere slightly above what a CGC 9.8 would go for, but nowhere near if it were a CGC graded 9.9. Feel like that's what tends to happen here.

This reality of course is not limited to just Centaur collectors, and of late it seems that as often as not, much lesser grade books are all that come up on the auction sites.

True, it's more about the ages than publisher or title.  I'd say it very relevant to comics pre-1940's and scarce or rare.  It never hurts to have trade fodder on hand.
