This past weekend’s ComicConnect Event Auction set record-breaking prices and an incredible sell-through for ComicConnect sellers and consignors.  

"The June Event Auction was incredible," stated ComicConnect co-founder, Vincent Zurzolo. “Collectors came out by the thousands to view the consignor auction lots, and the competitive bidding added up to some very, very strong dollar figures for our sellers.  The momentum for the ComicConnect business has built up to a frenzied pace, and we are aggressively seeking consignments right now for the next big auction!” 

Listed below are some of the prices realized from lots sold in the ComicConnect auction.
