Was a normal/solid silver featured auction, but with golden age stuff not going to lie, it was a pretty weak one! Just another example of Heritage and CC owning golden age sales. I don't think Clink cares though. They get solid books with silver, bronze, copper, modern and OA, with the occasional bigger golden grails. I mean don't get me wrong, they sell a bunch of cool golden age books, but not at the level of the other two. Even Goldin has been selling bigger golden agers. So, whatever the other auction houses are doing behind the scenes, if they're doing something behind the scenes to curry favor with collectors/dealers of the bigger books, Clink hasn't figured it out as well lol. Or maybe it's just word of mouth/prestige.

Yep, that's just the way it evolved I suppose. Most of the GA consigners choose the other two. Pay a little more commision but the books usually sell for top dollar. CL does charge a 10% commision which is very fair.

I grabbed 4 books this month. I'm going through a patriotic hero phase.

Does anyone know what the Batman #2 in CGC 3.5 sold for on ComicLink on May 30?  Weeks later I realize I never placed a tracking bid.  But also America's Best Comics #26 CGC 6.0?   And, although not GA, the Spectre #1 in CGC 9.4 that sold there on June 5?

I always though Comic link was more geared toward Silver age books.

From their auction results, I always thought CL's customer base was really geared more towards highest graded copies of BA & CA books.  (thumbsu

I've gotten a LOT of great Golden and Silver Age from ComicLink over the years! I'm not much of a Bronze or Copper Age collector, but I've gotten some Bronze from them as well. On average, prices there seem more favorable than the other major auction houses, by my experiences.  (thumbsu

Which makes one wonder why anyone would consign GA to Comiclink.

Could be a few factors: % of sale price in pocket, customer service, perhaps quantity of comics. In some cases, size DOES matter.  (shrug)

Must have been an expensive book 🤣

Anything over $1,500 incurs $65 in shipping for 1–3 books. Up to 3 books totaling less than $1,500 is $50 to ship.

These jokers just charged me $65 to ship ONE book about a four-hour drive to my house, and it will still take at least 3 days to reach me. rantrant

That is why I have de-prioritized CLink as a source compared to Heritage, CConnect, and MyComicShop. I bought a few books there this go round, but seeing the shipping on my invoice reminded me why I haven't been buying much from them. These were my pick ups.

That Jughead 8 is a beauty of a classic and I’m sure you got a great deal. If I’d been paying attention I’d have given you a run for your money.

It's a lot to me, personally, but still tiny in comparison to the high-end books in that auction (and in this thread).

I mean just look at the positives. You said you’re like a 4 hour drive from them. That means your in Maine so you got access to some killer lobster rolls!

I think he's saying he can't have lobster rolls because the money went towards shipping the comic books. :(
