“ComicConnect added new investment categories to every auction in 2020 so clients may easily diversify their collectible portfolios,” ComicConnect COO Vincent Zurzolo said. “In the past year alone, we’ve added video games, movie props, concert posters, pulps, action figures, and most recently, Pokémon booster boxes.” 

ComicConnect had over 100 rare and high grade video games in the Event Auction with sales that include Final Fantasy 2 WATA 8.0 (SNES) for $10,000, The Legend of Zelda WATA 8.5 (NES) for $8,800, and Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker WATA 8.0 (SMS) for $6,850.

“As the retro video game market continues to grow, expect to see more classics from ComicConnect in 2021,” Zurzolo said.

AFA-certified G.I. Joe action figures debuted in Event Auction #44, with sales including Tunnel Rat (Battle Ribbon Offer) AFA 85 for $580, Monkeywrench AFA 80 for $575, and Crimson Guard AFA 70+ for $500. 

“I didn’t hesitate to add Pokémon booster boxes to our auctions when the opportunity presented itself,” Zurzolo said. “This is one of the most exciting and dynamic new investments I’m excited to offer to my investment clientele. 2021 will be an immense year.”

Event Auction #44 hammer prices were Neo Genesis for $31,560, Unlimited Base for $22,000, Gym Challenge for $15,500, Gym Heroes for $15,400, Team Rocket for $15,000, Fossil for $13,500, Jungle (open) for $14,600, and an original 1995 Japanese box for $30,000.
