MAJOR NEWS FOR DAREDEIL COLLECTORS!! Pedigree Comics' CEO and President, Doug Schmell, recently received on consignment the remaining books and magazines from the ultra high grade Tower Lakes Collection, approximately 450 CGC certified comic books and magazines, and the collection will be featured in his company's upcoming Grand Auction. The auction is scheduled to begin in just over one (1) week, on the night of Sunday, February 27th and last for ten (10) days until the night of Wednesday, March 9th as a separate event on the Pedigree Comics website (www.PedigreeComics.com). There is no Buyers Premium on any of the lots in the auction and EVERY book will be listed with no reserve. Every book is CGC graded and the minimum bid is only $20 for this auction. You can view the high grade comics in the Auction Preview right now (over 400 lots). Just go to the Pedigree Comics website and click on the Auction banner.

The Tower Lakes Collection comes out of the suburbs of Chicago and contains an incredible group of award-winning CGC Registry Sets, including what was the #2 Daredevil Complete registry set, the #3 Daredevil #1-#80 registry set, the #3 Daredevil #1-#157 registry set and the #3 Daredevil #1-#310, the #1 Gold Key registry set (held for over 11 years) and, most importantly, the #1 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles registry set (held for over 3 years)!! Actually, this incredible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set was by far the highest graded and most complete TMNT collection EVER put together by anyone since CGC's creation and is easily the best and highest graded TMNT collection ever offered at auction. In fact, the consignor was the first collector to own all 6 prints of the coveted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 in 9.8!!

Amazingly, there are close to 450 comic books and magazines in the collection and EVERY ONE has off-white to white or white pages (save for one in off-white)! Besides the Registry Set books, the collection contains 9.4 and higher copies of Amazing Spider-Man #16, Amazing Spider-Man #18, Amazing Spider-Man #129, Fantastic Four #39, Fantastic four #40, Giant-Size X-Men #1, Incredible Hulk #180, Incredible Hulk #181, Incredible Hulk #182, Iron Fist #14, Iron Man #55, Tales of Suspense #52, Tales of Suspense #57, X-Men #94 plus many new ultra high grade Dells.

The focus of this article is one of the featured runs of the auction, what was the world's #2 Daredevil Complete set in the CGC registry. The consignor of the Tower Lakes Collection began collecting Daredevil issues back in 2007. Daredevil was his favorite Marvel character and he was drawn to the super-hero's handicap (blindness) and underdog status. He also was a big fan of Wally Wood's artwork. He became obsessed with putting together a certified Near-Mint (CGC graded 9.4) or higher run of Daredevil in white or off-white to white pages. The end result was one of the greatest collections of Daredevil ever assembled: a complete 9.4 and higher run between issue #1 and #169 in no less than off-white to white page quality (starting with one of the nicest known examples of Daredevil #1, a flawless 9.6 with off-white to white pages). It is easily the most consistent Daredevil run ever put together as EVERY issue is a 9.4 (save for a bunch in 9.6 and 9.8) in the second generation CGC holder/label (which lasted from the Summer of 2003 until the Summer of 2016) and with off-white to white pages (save for some with white).

If you have high grade CGC certified comic books to sell or consign, do yourself a favor and contact Mr. Schmell. Please go to the site (www.PedigreeComics.com)and read the following for all consignment information or contact him directly at (561) 422-1120 or (561) 596-911 or by email at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.

We are still accepting consignments for the High Grade Tower Lakes Registry Sets Auction and will continue to accept new books until the night of Sunday, February 27th. The sooner you consign your books the more exposure they will receive. We aggressively promote and advertise each auction and send periodic newsletters to all of our over 25,000 customers announcing the auction items. We also offer generous cash advances for quality consignments so check the site for consignment instructions and get your books in now.

Mr. Schmell invites you to take advantage of Pedigree’s many outstanding services. Consignors maximize their profits selling in the Grand Auction, more so than on any other auction site or auction house. We do not charge a buyers’ premium, an amount that most bidders take into consideration when bidding in other sites (the bidders simply deduct the buyers’ premium amount, usually 20% of the winning price, from their final bid, meaning less $$ to the consignor and more to the auction site). The higher the value of your book(s) that sell in a Grand Auction, the more $$ you take home under Pedigree Comics’ Climbing Scale as follows:

     A Climbing Scale is in effect for consigned comics with a winning bid as follows:
            10% Commission for any consigned item that sells up to $10,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $90% of the final bid price);  
              9% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $10,000 and up to $25,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $91% of the final bid price);  
              8% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $25,000 and up to $50,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $92% of the final bid price);  
              6% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $50,000 and up to $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $94% of the final bid price);   
              5% Commission for any consigned item that sells over $100,000 (Consignor’s Proceeds = $95% of the final bid price).   
     
We consistently set new sales records for Golden Age, Silver Age and Bronze Age comic books in each of our bi-monthly auctions and we do not saturate the market with the same material each month. We also specialize and feature quality consignments, CGC registry sets and collections in their own exclusive auction, something that other auction houses simply can not do. Grand Auctions are unique and exciting, with brand new CGC certified and diversified, highest quality material in each event. Why take home less $$ and settle for less by consigning with someone else?

There are three easy ways to consign your books to our upcoming Tower Lakes Registry Sets Auction. The only criteria is that the books must be CGC graded and worth no less than $20.00. If you have high grade raw books that you want to have certified and sold in the March auction or a future Grand Auction, you can utilize our Raw To Riches Consignment Service, in which we will have your books certified under our account and will lay out all the CGC grading fees in advance for you (refer to the website and our Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide advertisement for all the details of the Raw to Riches Consignment Service). Here is how to consign:

1. Ship your books to our offices in Wellington, Florida. We will inventory, scan and upload each book into the Grand Auction listing. The items will be listed under your personal account and you will receive email notification at the conclusion of the auction with a list of every consigned book that sold along with the winning bid made. 

2. Email the scans of the books you wish to consign directly to us at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com. We will format and upload each scan onto our server and then put each book into the Grand Auction listing. Please use a .jpeg format with the resolution set at 72 and the pixel width at no more than 1200 for optimal clarity. If you do not have a scanner you can use a digital camera.

3. You can upload your own scans, item information, book descriptions and reserve amounts, if any, by utilizing our Automated Consignment System. Just register onto the site (www.PedigreeComics.com) and login, click the “Customer Page” tab under “Your Account” and then click “Consignments” (under the “Auctions” heading). You will then be able to enter the Pedigree Comics Consignment Management System and list your own CGC certified books. We will receive an email once you have uploaded the scan and book information for each individual item into the system and we will then review the information imparted for accuracy. The item(s) will then be added to the Grand Auction listing to be bid on. You will be amazed how simple it is to use the Automated Consignment System.        

If you have any questions or comments about the consignment process, any of the auction lots or about the Tower Lakes Registry Sets Auction in general, please contact Mr. Schmell at (561) 422-1120 (office) or (561) 596-9111 (cell) or at DougSchmell@pedigreecomics.com.
