On the other hand, it could also be great for long term collectors who have been sitting on this book for decades ever since buying them for what was then probably considered to be rip-off prices of $2 a pop or thereabouts for such a common back issue book.  :taptaptap:  :taptaptap:  :banana:  :whee:

Then again, the real real big winners out of this FOMO driven rocket rise and eventuall fall would be the pressing and grading companies, especially since they've probably got thousands of copies still waiting to be processed even as market prices are falling on these books.  :flipbait:

Six of this and a half-dozen of the other. Its all relative. (thumbsu

The movie hype train is powerful, inflating values out of FOMO.  Great for sellers, terrible for collectors looking to fill their collection. Even though the comic falls back down again, it never hits where it was previously. 

Kinda like gas prices…

Could just be me and the books I track, but this auction looks fairly weak, especially on GA.  Wonder if people are afraid to sell right now…if the recent Baker auction is any indication though, there’s still people willing to fork out huge bucks for even lesser quality GA, so maybe it’ll still do well.

That would appear to be a possible mistake at this point in time as I believe it's really the much more common BA and CA hot books that have taken a big hit as the infinite scads of them sent into CCS/CGC for pressing/grading are now finally making there way into the marketplace.  :tonofbricks:

The much harder to find GA and in particular, the classic cover books, still appears to be going great guns and holding their own for now at least.  (thumbsu :wishluck:

Let's get this back to the subject at hand: Comiclink's Summer Featured auction has been posting books, the auction begins next Friday, August 18th.

What strikes your fancy? :popcorn:

How much is CLink paying you to plug their auction? :baiting:

As I looked through the listings, I think there's more for a Silver-Age collector to be excited about than a GA collector, but there appeared to be quite a few more books today than there were just a few days ago when I looked.

This one was already there. I remember because my heart broke when I realized that it had cream-to-off-white pages. It's one of very few Facwcetts on my want list.

I won't be bidding on this one, but I'll be watching to see how much tolerance Timely collectors have for resto on what is a semi-tough book.

This one will be out of my price range, sadly.

Nice choices for sure.  That Startling Comics will probably be a pretty popular pick.  It will be interesting to see where it ends. (thumbsu

Oh, and just to be upfront, I do have books in this auction.  I haven't said anything about which ones because I don't want to pimp them here.  Just sayin' it to get it out there. 

I've had books in about 3-4 of Comiclinks previous auctions and only ever saw 1 book mentioned here from them.  I remember when the G.A. forum was lit-up with posts when a new auction was approaching.  I miss that. Thought I'd try to get some interest brewing and see what bubbles up. It always make you feel a little more reassured when you have a book and it gets talked about. :smile:

Well, there you go then.  I just don't want to cross any current decorum.  So are we allowed to discuss what we have up for auction?

This happens mostly with the Heritage and ComicConnect upcoming auctions threads, ComicLink not so much. Mostly because CL are stronger in SA and BA (less with GA) than the other two most of the time.

I don’t see why not 🤷‍♂️. Post what you’re letting go. Always enjoy following someone’s sales.

Hm.  I see.  I've never used Comic Connect or Heritage to sell, only Comiclink as far as auction houses go.  I know you get more eyeballs on Heritage, but I don't like the total fees, feels like it would eat into your earnings a little too much.

How about I show 3 highlights now, some more later then. :wink:

Funny Pages Vol. 3 #3 listed as scarce in Overstreet.  This is the highest graded. Early appearance of The Arrow.

I have Jumbo #2, 4, 5, 7 & 8 listed, #5 is from the Larson Pedigree. They are all scarce to say the least.  They all were raw graded 2.5 to 3.0, worked out well because of their size. Cut off the bottom portion of the scan because this has a label on it from the place across the street from us. These were all actually JUMBO sized, like a treasury size comic.
