edited April 2012 in Comics Talk Community - The On Topic Forum
I've got a few books in the current My Comic Shop Auction that close April 15-17. Still some really good deals out there. I can tell you that their grading is pretty strict and a lot of these books have very good eye appeal for the grade.

If you are thinking about any low/mid grade keys, you may find something you like here.

    How has the auction experience been so far with getting everything set-up. Can you give us a brief rundown on how the auction has worked on your end?
    I think you are the mycomicshop auction guinea pig for CGS

    I've been a buyer with some other auctions sites before, never a seller (Comiclink, HA, Comicconnect, etc...) so I'd love to hear your thoughts on them as well!

    So far the only hitch has been their grading. They are grading much tighter for auction items than they are grading for other stuff. Good news is that it means there will be a lot of good deals for buyers. Lots of my stuff was .5 to 1.5 grades lower than I expected.

    They do a great job on documenting the auction items and calling out the things people need to know to make a decision. They authenticated my signed book (chew 1), and they documented that my Thor 169 CGC 9.6 is second highest in census, which is cool.

    From a fees perspective, they are lower than the other auction houses, so I can do a little bit worse than I might at Comiclink or Heritage and still be ahead. MCS Auctions are also a great place to look for low-mid grade Gold and Silver. The other auction houses are really only interested in high grade items and generally take low grade items only as part of larger sets -- at least in my conversations that's what they've indicated.

    Based on what I've seen so far, it doesn't attract the guys who are watching for high grade material, particularly CGC. Though the auctions do show up on GPA, so maybe I'm wrong.

    I will say that the results I got from this auction far surpassed my expectations. Very very happy with the results and working with mycomicshop.
