Hello all,
My grandad recently passed away and whilst going through his stuff we found at least 3 boxes of comics, probably around 200 of them, which he would sell at a car boot sale for about £1 each, just for something to do.
None of us have any clue where he got them from, nor do we have any idea about if any of them are genuine, fakes or reprints. I asked my local comic shop but they weren't much help, aside from telling me the obvious things like "Look on Ebay".
I am convinced some of these comics are the real deal, however other family members say that they are more than likely reprints and that my Grandad wouldn't have bought the real ones and if he had he would have sold them for the price they would fetch. But I'm not sure he would have as I don't think he would have known what he was looking for specifically.
If someone could point me in the correct direction of even just finding out if the comics he has a real or not then it would be most appreciated.
Thank you to anyone who helps
- Cal

There's certainly no reason to think any of them are truly "Fake"?
A lot of the Archie kind of books are filled with reprinted stories, though. (I'm not speaking to the issues you posted, but merely saying that the publishers frequently reprint material.) If you had a lot more stuff like those Action Comics, that'd be more reliably "sale-able" because long standing titles and characters are much more collectible than newer or less well-known titles, in the grand scheme.
