I recently acquired about 8 boxes full boxes of comics. They are all in plastic sleeves with cardboard backing in it. I know nothing about comics, but my general opinion is that they are untouched, therefore in mint condition. It appears as if they have been in the sleeve and taped shut from purchase. Of the ones I have gone through to begin cataloging, most are from late 90's.
I've been trying to make it to the local comic book store for an opinion on value but every time I go, they're closed. Getting anxious about it, so i thought I'd start here!
Also, after cataloguing the first 3 boxes, I've found a few that seem to have a high graded value (you should be able to see my collection?). I'd like some kind of realistic expectation for the value of these. I am in no rush to get rid of them, so if I have to get them "graded" to get the most money for them, that's what I'll do.
Advice, please! |

I see you have a lot of books listed as "10's", are they graded as 10's or are you just giving them that grade? It's pretty hard to find "10's" especially as many as you have. Most new books at the store aren't "10's". To get a realistic sense of their value, you'll have to be realistic in their grading. To have them graded will cost you quite a bit of money, so you'll want heavily weigh the pros and cons of spending the money in having them graded. Most of the time the book should be "special", that being either key, rare, limited or hot. You should take some time to figure that out first. ....You have lots to think about.

No, these are not graded. I did that so that I could have an Excel list to export with the highest graded values on them. I have changed them all back to the initial rating that the site gives them, 9.4 Near Mint. I will have to take the higher-valued ones into a comic book shop this week and figure it out. One of them in particular, X-Factor #75, comes up as 10.0 Gem Mint $4,800 and under Facts says it's a KEY issue. I'll probably search through and find ones like this to take into the store. |
