They are already encapsulated, so they should be fine. I asked a CGC rep at NYC Comic Con, he thought nothing of it. Off the record; of course.

I used comps from eBay, Heritage and GoCollect for FMVs.

Just me and my dog bowser knows. I guess the insurance company too.

Some key gold's and a good amount of key silvers. If I didn't get them appraised, I wouldn't of known. The insurance company, for some reason, requested appraisals so I did. My comic collection is now in it's own room, cameras, fireproof safes and a guard dog name bowser is protecting them. That and a few guns ;'p

Never thought of that. I am the only one I know who collects comics. I just picked up a lot over the past 20 years. I never in my life would believe they'd jump this high. Since mine are mid grade or restored (slightly), I am not sure any museum would want them.

Sometimes. ;-)

I had a very bad experience with Heritage. I sold a few in August and they can in way below what their estimates and what they were selling for on eBay. I later found out that the items that the buyer purchased on Heritage from me they resold on eBay (tracked the cert. #'s). I will never use Heritage again. They are horrible.

Bought it in 2014. Though, I'd be more interested in removing the restoration on the comic. Just way too concerned it would hurt the overall value. Might be $$$ from CGC to remove the prof. restoration.

Certainly. Come on by. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500

Would you send in a restored Amazing Fantasy #15 graded by CBCS to be re-graded by CGC? Seems a bit risky, no?

You need help.

Do they give fair prices, or are they going to lowball the whole lot?

Can't store in the basement. This is NJ Metro. We have very humid summers. I have it stored in it's own room, climate controlled.

Yep, have a similar setup. I've quoted through homeowners, and they want a 3500 premium. It's one of the reasons why I only have two insured and a blanket of $150k for the others. I am 759k short. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect it to reach this valuation. Selling isn't really a good option as I'd be screwed by a huge tax bill north of 30% with Fed and State. I will check with CIS. Are they reliable? I just fear if something happened to them they'd just not pay.

So I picked up a 500+ comicbook lot which has various comicbooks from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. A lot of X-men and the X-men spin-offs (rogue, gambit, xsf, etc.). Can anyone recommend a effective way to unload them? Listing them one by one on ebay w/ scans seems a bit excessive. They are all in NM, bagged and boarded. Looking for some suggestions here. Thank you.

I've been building my collection for a few years now and have collected some pretty rare comics. I submitted a bunch of them to an appraisal service, and they came back worth pretty close to 1m. Where do you guys store your comics? Do you insure? Do you have separate insurance, or is it on your homeowners?
