Well, if you really want to be nutty like me, here's what you do:
1. Keep the mailers sealed.
2. Buy near mint unsealed copies of the books that are contained within the mailers.
Then you have one of each. And you can show your like-minded friends (all 2 of them) the comic book in the sealed mailer, and then show them the unsealed comic book as well.
thanks for the thoughts- i did buy another set to read from the dealers at that time. And yes the comics just by definition of never having been touch and always stored in a sealed bag in a cool not moist environments would make them grade out in the higher range.

I covered up my mailing address the only way you can see what’s inside is if you hold the mailer side ways .
It is 1st printing and I think I received each copy like a day or so after release

No need to stress it, imo. If you approach heritage, they will work that all out with you. Which issues should be pressed and graded, which should only be graded, and which ones will be best sold raw. With a collection that size, you should ask them to give you a break on commission. You should get at least 10% (15% is their standard), I would guess. Also, all fees come out of final sales. Good luck with the sales!
Thanks for the response !!! So basically you are saying use heritage for a fee based on the sale because it will be worth the expertise and efforts on their part?

A Good Dilemma but Still A Dilemma
The condensed story is that I have been holding on to all the comics I have ever purchased (except the ones I gave to a hospital in 1966. I never bought anything but new (with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions) and never paid more than face value. I stored them in steamer trunks lined with plastic (surprising that keep them in very good shape). When I bought a house, I was able to move the lot into boxes and started bagging a few. When Hurricane Sandy came the house flooded about 4 feet taking the bottom 2 rows of my comic stack with it. Of course, the oldest ones were on the bottom (sad). So that left me with about 15,000.
The dilemma is I cannot store these anymore (moving) so it’s time to sell them. The dilemma is the grading. I estimate that I have at least a thousand comics worth over $250 not counting the rare ones. This makes the cost prohibitive to get it graded (it could be upwards of 40K). I have an eye for grading but far from an expert so even guessing what would be 8.0 or above would be a challenge,
I am looking for suggestions. How to proceed – do I forgo the grading and auction the collection? Do I auction individually or by lot? Any suggestions would be helpful.( a selection from my office )
