Check out used office supply places. I bought two for $30 each in Vegas. I ended up selling them on CL for $250 for the pair. Used office furniture and fixtures sell for a small fraction of their original prices

I sold both Epic and Savage Sword in my comic shop and got them from my regular comic distributor.

Until the rest of the field catches up with CGC's Newton Ring laden holders, sheeple will continue to flock to CGC.

I'll take the Superman #4

Beats the hell out of searching dollar boxes in my situation. I do have to walk down the driveway to get my weekly check.

Just for the record, I'm 100% serious.

Make it up with volume.

I keep it small scale, buying 3 or 4 books in the beginning and using the sales to buy more. I spent $300, have $500 on consignment and have cashed out $111. I'd do more but I find few books that make it worth doing. I devote maybe two hours a week to it.

I make my beer money buying from one website and re-consigning the books right back to them.

I don't think I've ever read a comic that Schomburg drew. He did wonderful covers, and is my favorite cover artist but I have no idea how his story-telling abilities were.

It's why Baskin Robin has many flavors of ice cream. I like double covers, others like price variants, some like Canadian versions with no ads and a few even go for pence copies.

Nonsense. Try reading Dickens or Uncle Toms Cabin.

There is no simple answer. It depends on the book itself and when it was published. In the early days of the direct market, non-news stand books were rare. Over the year the equation change so by the late 90s, the news stand books were the rarer version. Some Copper Age indy books were sold on news stands in limited locations so they can be rare. Except some seem to be overprinted so not so much. It's a complicated affair that a lot of collectors don't care about.

4.0 Browning, spine is all messed up, top back cover takes a hit.

Nice catch.

I put it in the same category as the crossovers at the Rutland Halloween parade. This is what MCS says about it; Aquaman #56 and Sub-Mariner #72 is the infamous hidden DC/Marvel crossover! Writer Steve Skeates, unbeknownst to the editorial staffs of Marvel and DC, creates the very first intercompany crossover between the Big Two. Aquaman battles a creature that at the end of the issue explodes in outer space. A few years later, the very same creature emerges in the Marvel Universe from an explosion in outer space. This has to be one of the most underrated and coolest hidden gems in Comics History. – Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist Cover price $0.15.

No chain of custody is the killer for me. Having an employee drop the stuff off unwrapped at the local UPS store is too much for me. Good luck, I hope you get some locals involved.

Are there any grader notes? Just one picture and an estimate of $50-$5,000 makes me hesitate.

Risk vs Reward.

I'm sure it is much higher than that. 99.995 would be closer, imo.

Came across this last week and it was strange enough to pick up. not familiar with the publisher- WDL and it says This is a World Distributors Comic. Appears to be from 1954

I thought using archival tape gets a purple label? I could be wrong so if I am please correct me.

Just saw a blurb on the news about a Star Wars store owner in Seattle getting into a loud argument with a transexual politician over a rather vulgar t-shirt he had on display.

What is the story with that label? It's purple but states Universal, which it may be.
