I read about him leaving MCS about a month ago in the Scoop newsletter. I kept waiting for him to announce his next move. I got the feeling he wanted to stay closer to his family. He will be a great asset where ever he goes in the comic biz. I wish him luck and hope he can find the right place to settle into.

You need to subscribe to the MCS weekly newsletter :gossip:

If the owner isn't willing to put on a sequined dress and strut around shaking his funbags......then I'm not willing to subscribe to their newsletter. (tsk)

Hey Josh - sorry, didn't intend for the thread title to be misleading. We can blame my shoddy reading comprehension skills for that one. I've edited the title, but Mike can give it another update if need be. Didn't intend to misrepresent anything. 

Thanks F

Hi All,

Thanks for reading the e-mail!  I hope it wasn't more confusing than it was helpful!

I'm just hopping on to clarify something rather than have it left to speculation here - Steve now holds a significant position within a larger team of Consignment Directors and Sales Associates, including others who are Senior Consignment Directors, here at ComicLink. Steve's position is a significant one, but he is not "heading it up" so to speak as the subject line of this thread states.  He is not replacing anyone, and not "in charge" of the consignment sales department, but he as well as others are empowered to make significant consignment and purchasing decisions.

-Josh

^^

Well, Clink had to do something, considering they’ve been losing ground to HA for the past decade.

Let’s see what Steve brings to the table for them

You guys forget we're talking about Steve B.... an OG Interstellar Convention Gypsy and part time Dead-Head .... He's constitutionally unable to stay in one spot for long ... a rolling stone gathers no moss, right ? GOD BLESS ....

If anything, I hope he convinces them to start providing sales info to GPA!!!

While I imagine all auction houses occasionally see books hit brutally low sale prices, my personal experience using ComicLink over 15 years as both buyer and seller is that they do extremely well for sellers, while also offering a lot more books in certain genres (like the bronze age Marvel picture frames I've collected for over 50 years now) than any other auction site, and on occasion providing favorable prices for buyers.

Yes, like most everyone else I'd like to see back cover scans for way more than the few highest priced items they provide now.  But for me and many others, they're a stalwart of the hobby and serve parts of it in ways that nobody else does.

As for Steve hooking up with ComicLink, I wish him success.  He's done even more than work for that long list of grading and auction companies, as before CGC came into existence I remember seeing him as a dealer at central New Jersey one day comic shows.  I don't think his remote location will make any difference, seeing as how the Link already has distributed activities between Maine, northern New Jersey, and Chicago locations.

I'm a big fan of Comiclink. Yes we've poked at the web site layout over the years but the process and convenience for both buyers and sellers cannot be understated. When I last checked in Steve was working for Metro so the news here catches me up. @COMICLINK I'll be calling you guys soon. :baiting:

If it ain't broke don't fix it? (shrug) C-Link works for me, and it's simple.
