I originally wrote in about this over a year ago, and I recognize it is a small niche market, but it is also the most inaccurate on the CPG site. A few months ago I read a reply to someone thta price adjustments are based on people sending in prices, so the more get sent the faster the adjustments. There is a problem with that here. Since it is estimated that only a dozen (at most) exist of the early Canadian Whties by Bell Feaures, Maple Leaf and Anglo American you are not going to get much email.
To help showcase the extreme difference I have cut and paste my list of recent auction outcomes from Comiclink.com. They can all ben seen if you go to the site and under "advanced" searches fro single comics, type "Canadian" for "item description". They even have all the cover scans, which I can try to re-scan for CPG (I tried a test one and the quality wasn't very good though... suggestions?)
My list has them by title, then issue followed by the CGC grade (all issues on the Comiclink auction were third party graded), then the CPG list price, then the final auction price.
The blank issues are going for auction the end of may, but I didn't feel like waiting another month to get this started.
My "NL" note means "not currently listed" on the CPG site.
The real price jumps are for the very early Canadian Whites, the "volume 1" books and the titles with key "Canadian" heroes (Canada Jack, Nelvana, Mr. Monster, Johnny Canuck, Brok Windsor, etc.). Prices are also generally hight for Maple Leaf books (all very scarce) and Bell Features.
Take a look below... can anything be done?
