I appreciate the replies so far. I'm not worried if they aren't worth anything, just that if they are, they end up in someone's hands who wants them. I would hate to turn some comics into art/furniture, then find out it/they had value to someone else and now there's one less comic in the world, and one more unhappy person. (plus the extra cash won't hurt). I'm a little surprised more than one read is enough to kill a comic's value, but we do have some that were bought in multiple and never read (I wasn't kidding about the million variant covers, that nonsense was all the rage and we bought the gold one and hologram one and black one and etc.). I don't want to send in something like Leonard Nimoy's Primordials and get a 30cent comic graded (exaggeration, but yes such a thing did exist). @ThothAmon, I have Amazing Spider-Man 300, probably the New Mutants 98 (I'd have to look to verify, but we bought NM), not the TMNT. I tried posting a picture from my instagram of a lamp I built, but couldn't get the picture to post. Let me try again.:

Comics in my collection worth getting graded for sale Hi everyone. My brothers and I used to read and collect comics from the mid-80s to late 90's-ish (I think the last major storyline we bought was the Death of Superman/Subsequent return), and I'm wondering if what we have is worth getting graded and sold. We used to also collect baseball and football cards and the value of those is now non-existent, as I guess the world has moved on from cardboard with stats on the back. Regarding the books, when last I knew anything about it, highlights would be the Claremont/Miller Wolverine mini-series and subsequent Wolverine full series w/Silvestri, Uncanny Xmen 222-maybe 400, the Xmen series started with Jim Lee, Macfarlane's Spider-man #1 in all million variants, and most of the Image #1s from when it was founded, and Alex Ross's early stuff. Should mostly be in pretty good condition, except for the 80s stuff when we were young and dumb enough to get the comics to read them . After that we got wise to the bags and stuff. I know that's pretty vague, but basically if it came out from the mid 80's to late 90's, there's a good chance I have it, including some nonsense like Malibu comics and like that. So, I'm basically trying to figure out if I should make the effort to pull through the books and send anything in to get graded, or if like football/baseball cards, the comics market just ain't what she used to be. I'm an artist/furniture maker, so if they aren't worth anything, I'll use them to make lamps and sculptures Thanks for any help
