May Featured Auction lots close Tuesday, May 24th through Thursday, May 26th between 7:30pm and 11:45pm EST. Click here to view and bid on auction lots. According to ComicLink they have stated that they believe this is their best auction ever in terms of the breadth of quality represented. Most of the 1,400+ items accepted for this auction are highlights in their own right. Peruse the auction lots carefully -- each and every lot was hand-selected for quality and had to make the cut. This is, therefore, an unusual opportunity for collectors to obtain some of the very best material that will come available in 2011.
Some of the items leading the entire pack of stand-outs, include Silver Age mega-keys Fantastic Four #4 CGC 9.6 (1st Sub-Mariner) (Highest, 1 of only 2), Fantastic Four #1 CGC 8.5, Showcase #22 (1st Green Lantern) (Highest, 1 of 3), X-men #1 CGC 9.2 (1st X-men, one of the best existing), Journey Into Mystery #83 CGC 9.0 (1st Thor, Impressive high-grade), Journey Into Mystery #85 CGC 9.6 (1st Loki) (Highest, 1 of 3), Amazing Spider-Man #35 CGC 9.8 (single highest graded!), and Zap Comix #1 CGC 9.6 (single highest graded).
