  1. Thank you. The #4 is not a reprint. Maybe I should adjust my pricing? Or I'll accept best offers.
  2. Selling my collection. I'm new to this so let me know if I'm missing anything. I'm going to sell the whole Star Wars collection eventually but, I'm starting with these four and then I'll slab the key issues and sell those too. For now: Star Wars #1 CGC 8.0 White Pages Not a reprint - $300 Star Wars #4 CGC 9.2 Off-White to White Pages, Witman 35¢ variant, signed by Rick Hoberg (artist/embellisher) - $150 Star Wars #42 CGC 8.0 Off-White to White Pages, Boba Fett Intro - $200 Star Wars #107 CGC 6.0 Off-White to White Pages, Last Issue Low Print Run - $75 Shipping to U.S. only via USPS, $20 (Is that fair?) No Returns on slabbed comics. Payment: Zelle, Check, Money Orders, PayPal... I guess as last resort. First "I'll Take It" gets it. PM or post in thread...tie breaker is the timestamp. Did I miss anything? I'm new to this so if I'm way off on any of these, kindly let me know.
  3. I think I'll start here with the first 4 that are slabbed.
  4. Good looking out. I wasn't clear but, I only intend to slab the keys. Is eBay a good place to sell them or would you recommend something else? I have an old eBay account but no history of selling much and zero comic books so I'm wondering if that would hurt views or trust from the comic book buyers.
  5. Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, I meant graded and slabbed by CGC. Would you recommend a pressing as well?
  6. I laid out my collection and took pics of the covers. I'd say they're all pretty much collector grade but not likely 9.6+ I had 4 pressed and graded (6.0 8.0 8.0 and 9.2) I want to sell my collection. Questions, if you'd be so kind to answer: Should I have them graded before selling or only grade the key issues? Considering they were stored 10 per Ziploc bag and stacked in a box and the spines have a noticeable curl... would they benefit from pressing before being graded? Should I sell individually or as a collection? eBay or here on CGC forum? Have a look and tell me what you think you'd do if you were me and wanted to sell to collectors. Thanks guys and gals, Kevin
  7. While not the second opinion I wanted to hear, thank you for sharing your knowledge. As far as pricing... A 9.2 35¢ "Whitman" is probably about $100 maybe more?
  8. Makes sense. If not mentioned, they'd be like, "Why didn't you say something!!"
  9. Question: If I sell it as an autographed copy by the cover artist, would that add any value or none at all?
  10. I'm not qualified to answer. I'm a noob with no grading experience.
  11. They seent it and know that Rick Hoberg is the cover artist. They just won't authenticate it as a legit signature. Grader Notes light bends to cover light spine stress lines to cover light writing top of front cover
  12. I may be totally off base but, I think the graders don't mark down for an autograph but, they won't authenticate it unless it was signed at a CGC event in the presence of an official who gives a cert of authenticity of something like that.
  13. Okay...deep disappointing breath* So it's not the 35¢ in the square but, what is it? Is it a Whitman variant (so called)? Sold in a pack of 3 but not a reprint? Comic-ing is hard.
  14. It definitely does not say Reprint. It looks like the comic on the right. What would that mean? CGC census states they've graded 5 total. I'd like to think that means it's a very rare grail but I don't know.
  15. Maybe one of you can answer a question about the #4 35¢ issue. It's not the News Stand issue. It's listed as multi-pack and hit has the diamond and no UPC. I've seen copies that look like it listed as reprints but, CGC says it's a Multi-Pack edition. I've seen some call them Whitmans and I gather that's a whole other kettle of fish. What gives?
  16. I asked if it was okay to post here and Adamantium said it would be okay to do so, so here goes... I bought a collection of Marvel Star Wars from my wife's uncle. He collected a lot of Star Wars memorabilia and he's getting older and didn't want to go through the process of selling his comic books. The collection is almost complete with annuals and a few duplicates. From here, I'll copy/paste what I wrote in the Noob thread. STAR WARS! Okay, I'm new to this, as stated above. I have just about all of the STAR WARS comics from 1977 - 198_ I just received 4 back from CGC today and I want to start selling and using the money to send more to get graded, repeat. What's the best way to go about selling them? CGC forum then eBay or Comicbookshop or whatever it's called? Here's what I got back... Star Wars #1 30¢ White pages 8.0 #42 50¢ Off-White to White Pages 8.0 #107 75¢ Off-White to White Pages 6.0 #4 35¢ Variant Off-White to White Pages 9.2 signed by Rick Hoberg From what I've gathered, the #4 is worth a pretty penny and the others may be in the $200 - $400 range. Is that about right? Any help would be appreciated. Hit me with anything you got from advice to questions and thank you in advance!
  17. I'm sure I want to sell the collection but, I'm not sure about the best way to go about doing that. I've already decided to press and grade these 4 issues and from there, I suppose I need to prioritize the rest for another batch of grading. I'm of the belief that it's more profitable to have them graded as opposed to selling them as raw books. Is that right in most cases? Thanks for your reply, btw. Would it be okay to ask these same questions in the Bronze Comics forum (start a Star Wars collection thread)?

  19. My son was visiting his great uncle and discovered a box of Star Wars comics. Turns out Uncle Jon wanted to get rid of them and offered to sell the box for $225. I bought them and here I am wondering what the heck I'm doing. CGC was the leading Google search when I started asking the interwebs how to sell a collection.
  20. Hello all. Kevin here and I'm as noob as a noob can noob. I bought a box of Star Wars Marvel comics from my wife's uncle last Summer and I've finally gotten around to sending four issues for pressing and grading. They are on their way back to me now. My hope is that I can sell them to knowledgeable collectors who will love them. I sent in the four issues that I thought would be most valuable (based on a little bit of research) with the plan of using proceeds to grade other copies and sell those. I'm at a bit of a loss and feeling way over my head so I'll just take this slowly and one step at a time. Hopefully I'll not ask too many dumb questions and contribute to this community. Regards, Kevin
