“I’m incredibly grateful for all of the consignors, bidders, and winners that participated in ComicConnect’s Event Auction #36 last week. Thank you!” said Vincent Zurzolo, COO of ComicConnect. “The comic and original comic art markets are proving to be stronger than ever as television and movie appearances are still a big factor for buyers while scarcity on the bigger keys is driving prices to what were previously unimaginable record prices.”
ComicConnect’s Event Auction #36 ended last Friday, August 31, 2018.
“Our team works relentlessly to promote our auctions to the very best clients in the business,” Zurzolo added. “We’re incredibly fortunate to work every day with passionate collectors and investors who love comic books as much as we do. Please let us know how we can work for you.”
