Time is running out to place vintage comic books to the upcoming ComicLink September Focused Auction. The auction commences on September 12 2013, so to reserve auction placement, email buysell@comiclink.com your prospective auction list, or call (617) 517-0062, option 1, to speak with Douglas Gillock, Sean Goodrich, Jason Crosby, Jon Signorelli, Josh Nathanson or other members of the ComicLink team.

“We are offering generous cash advances for quality consignments placed to the September Focused Auction and other upcoming auctions,” said ComicLink Consignment Director Douglas Gillock.

“The still-growing September Focused Auction preview includes numerous keys, classic covers, and high grades, from the Golden Age to the modern era. Just a few of the notables include Amazing Fantasy #15 CGC 7.0 (first Spider-Man), Showcase #22 CGC 7.0 (first Silver Age Green Lantern), Iron Man #55 CGC 9.8 (first Thanos, highest graded), Incredible Hulk #181 CGC 9.8 (first full Wolverine), Giant-Size X-Men #1 CGC 9.8 (first New X-Men, highest), Sensation Comics #1 CGC 8.5 MP (first Wonder Woman cover), Superman #7 CGC 7.0, Walking Dead #1 CGC 9.8, and more. The September Focused Auction offers sellers an opportunity for guaranteed sales and a very quick turnaround in a high exposure auction environment, as well as an upfront cash advance upon request. Key and high-grade Silver and Bronze Age certified by CGC is always the primary ‘focus’ of this auction format, but there is always also an interesting Golden Age selection and a ultra high-grade Copper and modern selection to round it out. The next ‘Focused’ auction that will contain original art will commence in October, the October Featured Auction, and there will be a larger selection of higher end original art lots in the November Featured Auction,” he said.

“We will also be set-up at the Baltimore Comic Con on Saturday, September 7, and Sunday, September 8,” said Gillock, “so that is another way to place material last-minute to the September auction or get us comic book or original art consignments in for the October Focused Auction or November Featured Auction.”

“The November Featured Auction will be the final ComicLink Featured Auction of 2013 and already, the auction preview is filling out very nicely. The November Featured Auction offers sellers a chance to be part of one of the best auctions of the year for both vintage comic books and original comic related artwork. It is bound to be another blockbuster, and it is the ideal auction environment for a seller’s most valuable material,” said ComicLink President Josh Nathanson. “If you already know what you want to sell, and you are interested in reaching the most aggressive comic book bidders in the world, we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible to consign to this auction so that we may reserve auction slots for you and fully promote your material.”

Early comic book highlights already listed in the November Featured Auction preview include Fantastic Four #1 CGC 8.5, Wonder Woman #1 CGC 7.5, Flash Comics #1 CGC 2.0, and Startling Comics #49 CGC 9.0 (classic Schomburg cover).

Original art highlights posted to the preview include the Jack Kirby Journey into Mystery #109 title splash featuring Thor’s banishment from Asgard by Odin (the first time Thor appears with a full sized figure of Odin on a splash page), an explosive John Romita Amazing Spider-Man #75 half-splash featuring an iconic Spidey pose, a Jim Lee watercolor Hush page from Batman #614 depicting the death of Robin, Jason Todd, Whilce Portacio’s X-Men #281 wrap-around cover featuring the new team, a stunning Jack Kirby Silver Surfer Graphic Novel half-splash, and more.

“Similar to the August Featured Auction which just closed, within which many new record results were achieved, the ComicLink November Featured Auction will highlight valuable, vintage comic books and original comic art, and it will be a blockbuster. Every lot in the Featured Auction is selected by ComicLink’s expert staff for quality and collector appeal, which means it is the perfect showcase for a seller’s best material,” said.
