waahehe94 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I'm having an auction house (A Ok auction) auction off my comic book collection of August 21st @ 10 a.m. if anyone is interested. The entire collection is raw books and I've been seriously collecting for 37 years and reading/buying comics for 40+ years. The collection has everything for Golden Age to Modern books with a few Pulps from the 1920's - 1950's. A few of the highlights are a complete 1970's Marvel comic Star Wars run, an Amazing Spider-Man run from issue 13-400 and a nice assortment of Silver Age Marvel books Here's a link to the auction, it's on Invaluable and might be on AuctionZip at some point. A-Ok auction house in Damascus, Virginia will be hosting the auction of August 21st at 10 a.m. https://www.invaluable.com/catalog/knjun5oq6d?fbclid=IwAR28VMOW9Sl0u-4b5ehM9NCn7B3gd6j60B8Zz_Vg3HeUtMd2UP6wl2KaieM WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadroch Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Are there any grader notes? Just one picture and an estimate of $50-$5,000 makes me hesitate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the estimate of $50 to $5000 is pretty accurate . Are the pages of books counted so we know they're complete? Restoration check? Interior damage disclosed?

shadroch Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 No chain of custody is the killer for me. Having an employee drop the stuff off unwrapped at the local UPS store is too much for me. Good luck, I hope you get some locals involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waahehe94 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 If you have any questions concerning the auction you can contact the auction house, A Ok auction group LLC, by their website, phone or Facebook page. They've been in the auction business for decades, but first became in comic book & collectable auctions about 5-6 years ago when they worked a huge estate auction. They seem to auction off comic collections on regular/possibly monthly basis now. A lot of the local dealers and comic con people in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina seem to participate in their auctions on a regular basis. I believe that they always start the bidding off low and there's no reserve on any of the lots. I'm just ready to leave the hobby and haven't participated in a con or event in the last 4/5 years.

waahehe94 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Right now only a small fraction of my collection is listed on the auction site. Hopefully they'll list the rest of it later in the week, if not today. It's a fairly big collection that spans over 37+ years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waahehe94 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 The auction house still hasn't listed the entire collection yet, but here is a link to the auction on Auctionzip. https://www.auctionzip.com/VA-Auctioneers/236706.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waahehe94 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Spoke with the auction house today and was informed that they will be listing the rest of my collection in the upcoming days prior to the auction. Should be several thousand more books listed. I was into collecting complete runs so their is probably something for everyone in the auction. If there's any Star Wars, Amazing Spider-Man, Iron Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Batman or Superman fans this will definitely be an auction that you don't want to miss.

Won't do any good to PM me but I'm sure that the auction house, A Ok Auction Gallery LLC, will be more than happy to answer any questions by telephone (276-676-0009), email, their website or their Facebook page. Alan Shupe is in charge of the auction and I'm sure that he's hoping that as many people as possible participate in the auction. I'm new to selling comics as I've mainly been buying them since around 1978 and seriously collecting them since 1984 when the first comic book store opened up in the small city near where I lived. Ever since 1978 I've been buying comic books from grocery stores, gas stations, comic shops, out of the back of comic book advertisements (Mile High Comics), flea markets, yard sales and trading with my friends. Over the years in my adult life I was in the United States Air Force and bought comic books at all of the places I was stationed, TDY and deployed to during my career.
