I was poking around the auction sites and noticed some very sporadic activity around the Star Wars #1 comic book. The regular edition (30 cent cover) of Star Wars #1 is a very popular book. The thing is also as common as sand. The CGC graded numbers alone are staggering; as of this post there...

ComicLink Focused Auction The ComicLink Focused Auctions are never as exciting as the Comic Link Features Auctions. Still, some very interesting things transpired. Let’s have a peek at what went down. Tales to Astonish #57, Marvel Comics (July/1964) Graded by PGX at 9.6 with Off White...

A regular reader of my Auction Highlights sent me this link. I like it and I’ll break with the tradition of highlighting just graded comics to report it to you...

ComicLink August Featured Auction The ComicLink August Featured Auction has ended. I really like these Featured Auctions because they are not dominated by Silver and Bronze Age Marvels. In last month’s ComicLink Focused Auction 94% of the top 50 comics traded were Marvels. This time around Marvel represents only 42% of the top 50 books. DCs came in at 26%, original art 14%...

The ComicLink July Focused Auction has just ended. Much like last month’s ComicLink auction this one was dominated by Silver Age Marvels. Only 3 DC books cracked the top 50 in terms of price realized...

The June Focused Auction ended last week on ComicLink. This auction really should have beed called the Marvel Silver and Bronze Auction (with a few DCs thrown in to make it look good). Only 1 DC cracked the top 30 in terms of price realized (only 4 DCs in the top 50). Star Trek #1 from Gold Key was the first non

Legendary artist Frank Frazetta passed away early this week. I thought we’d take a look at whether the market has...

Iron Man seems the obvious theme this week. Make sure you check out the Iron Man 2 movie, and then jump on the net and buy up a bunch of old Iron Man comic books!

Batman just may be the most collected superhero of all. Let’s see how he’s been doing on the eBay marketplace. I selected a small random sample of Batman comics starting from the Golden Age right through to the Bronze Age...

The April Focused auction has just ended on ComicLink. It is being said that the Marvel keys are retreating in value a bit, escpecially in the mid grades. Let’s look at the results and find out for ourselves.

One of the toughest grades to get a handle on is the dreaded 6.5. The question is: Are you getting your money’s worth for the ½ grade improvement. Let’s use...

It should be noted that of the 100 most expensive comics listed on eBay in the past 2 weeks only 13 actually sold. The percentage was even worse if you don’t count the ones that...

How much do you pay for perfection. This week we'll look at a group of perfect CGC graded 10.0 comics and see if they sold for millions of dollars.

Let’s see how the market is treating some nice but lower grade comic books
