Yes that is the case. Im not sure how long this preview will be or when it will start. But there will be a preview. As I said before though I don't think were every going to run the multi month previews like HA does. We are still working out the exact preview details for this auction. 

So there are going to be auctions where the first time we know the books is when the auction starts?

There is always a 24 hour preview as a minimum. Last auction we did one week. I would like to stick with the week long preview but there a lot more that goes into it then me just saying to our auction manager "hey lets do a week long preview". But moving forward as I have said before I am working towards that goal but it might not happen this time around for our Jan/Feb Elite auction.

Your first hurdle is the grading terminology. You can't grade raw comics using card terminology, it erodes confidence. It makes me think that you don't have a comics professional on staff, like you guys are just winging it. Am I incorrect?

I have answered and apologized for this a few times already. Moving forward things will be different. On top of that we are trying to get away from ungraded items. I am the comics professional of staff. So if you see anything incorrect feel free to reach out. Im sure theres going to be mistakes but trust me when I say I am working as hard as I can to improve as much as I can.

I personally wouldn't mind if we put more emphasis on centering like the sports card graders do. 

I wouldn't mind either.   Certainly pre-cgc, it used to mean something.   

One issue comes to mind however.    GIven "face job" spine realignments being an issue already, if centering was taken into account, wouldn't we just see more of that?     Most off center books would just get potentialized into being perfectly centered, no?

You probably see it reflected in prices if not grades. A slight mis-wrap doesn't bother me, but a crooked cut does. I have passed on quite a few books on my want list because they weren't cut squarely enough. This one bugs me a bit. I don't think I have any others that are that bad, or if I do, the cover design doesn't make it so apparent.

What happened to the Jan/Feb comic auction??  Have yet to see any preview for it.

I myself assume that when the current auctions ends soon then the new one will be up (shrug)

Thought the same thing. I also heard that Goldin did NOT buy the Rocket copy Action 1 (as reported here) but  actually just bid for the new owner on the deal.  Their last auction had no sizzle. They were great out of the gate and now not even a Feb auction that we can count on. I had a feeling there was no Feb auction once they reneged on January

Hi All! Preview goes live tomorrow night but heres a few early.  The auction will be live for bidding from the 10th to the 23rd of February on goldin.co  

I didn't take screen shots of Batman 3-10, 12 but we have the full 1-12 run available. As well as bunch of super nice silver and bronze age books. But here is the top GA. 

 

If anyone has any questions about biding let me know! We're also looking for consignments for our April elite auction. As always heathy advances and rates available. 

 

Thanks - Dom
