If anyone comes across one of these and is interested in trading for comics (I believe they’re selling for about $65 or so) I’m interested. Any color is fine, no packaging is fine

I recently made a $310 sale ($260 with $50 shipping) on eBay and what I got after eBay took their cut was $227.39. They took nearly a third of my sale. And I’ll be taxed on what’s left. This is why all my eBay prices are aggressive enough that I wouldn’t buy it for that. Stuff still sells though

Yeah a lot of what I collect is pretty low print runs, if I ever want to replace them I’ll likely pay more than I made. But this stuff has been sitting in a closet for a decade. If I don’t look at them why have them I figure

I think I made like 8 or 9 grand in the past 15 months or so and barely dented my collection. And my collection isn’t anything valuable. No slabs (just sold my only slab today), lots of reader quality grades

Pretty much all my comics are available for sale right now. I list them for aggressive prices on eBay and within a couple months they sell. And then a couple months after that I realize I sold them cheaper than current prices. Seems like comics are doing good

I bought issues 1-36 for a dollar each. #37 was $75. #38 was $200. This was at least 5 years ago. Recently sold the whole set for $700

Wait until you get a look at an old Wizard price guide. I’m actually surprised they were worth something as recently as 20 years ago. I thought stamp collecting died long before that. I’ve never seen a stamp collecting store. I’ve seen some random stamps at junk shops for probably ridiculous prices based on e everything else in the shop, displayed next to some beat up Mercury dimes and an obviously fake Rolex

If you buy both I’m betting the more expensive of the two will deliver the book

I don’t think they’re for the same market

I don’t know why so many of various industries finest product suppliers are just not set up to be competitive. They either won’t have a website at all or it will be something that hasn’t been updated from 2006 and doesn’t allow purchases online. They’ll not accept credit cards, only take orders thought the phone, make you subscribe to a newsletter to know what products they offer and then make you call to see what’s in stock. No order updates, no tracking, but they’ll have the best product available. How am I better equipped to sell online than these places?

Safe to assume if it’s in a modern label slab and worth any money it’s been pressed and dry cleaned

I guess the final word is if CGC will be offering CP(eroxide)R services with blue labels or not. I haven’t been here as long as many of you but I have been here long enough to remember collectors who wouldn’t buy a pressed book.

Makes me glad I dropped out

Started collecting ASM and UXM in the late 80’s. Along with irregular purchases of other Marvel titles

If you buy enough copies of IMSM #1 you get to decide what it’s worth

I think if you have the right serialized stories they could have some appeal

If I buy a modern floppy I’ve spent more than 2% of my portfolio

If I ever live anywhere else it will be because of financial ruin, or a job offer in Hawaii

If they aren’t they will but you’d be surprised how many insufficiently_thoughtful_person burglars there are

I think if this collection were mine all slabs would go to Heritage and the Raws would go to the dealer with the best offer if I were looking to liquidate quick. If not all the keys would go to Heritage and everything else would go in an eBay store. I don’t think I’d bulk sell slabbed keys like that unless it were an absolute emergency. Either way if you have any unslabbed keys I’m not sure I’d bother sending them to CGC right now.

Almost nothing I collect has a movie or tv show

Yeah this is an office file tote with comics in it

Sell almost everything

I had all those same comics and sold them for a dollar at the worst possible time

A little bit of both plus increased holiday demand and probably internet cooperation getting toys off fully stocked shelves into the hands of those who love where shelves are bare.
