ComicLink’s recently completed Winter Featured Auction on ComicLink.com generated impressive sales results for both vintage comic books as well as comic related original art. “I was very pleased for our consignors with many of the results realized in the Winter Featured Auction exceeding expectations,” Josh Nathanson, President of ComicLink, said. “Many record prices were achieved across eras and genres at all condition levels.”

Some of the top comic book auction results included Amazing Fantasy #15 (first Spider-Man) CBCS 9.0 sold for $240,822 and CGC 7.5 sold for $87,057, both records in grade for this very popular Silver Age title. Showcase #4 (first Silver Age Flash) in CGC 7.5 went for $76,000 and Detective Comics #140 (first Riddler) CGC 6.5 CVA Exceptional sold for $22,250. The Amazing Spider-Man title did extremely well across the board, with many examples setting records in grade, including those from the new John G. Fantucchio Pedigree. The Fantucchio offerings included most issues between Amazing Spider-Man #1 and #52. More Fantucchio books will be auctioned in the months to come.
