"I would like to personally thank every consignor and bidder who made December’s auction such a smashing success," said Vincent Zurzolo, COO of ComicConnect, "and of course, thank you to the current consignors and all the bidders who will be joining us for this auction. The collectibles market, across all categories, continues to heat up. We’ve put together an unbelievable array of comics, art, video games, memorabilia, posters, props, and pulps."
