  1. The three main comics I would like to collect are Batman, Spider-Man and The Flash. Of course there are plenty of others but those are the main 3. With Spider-Man personally I would love to collect all the first appearances of the fantastic rogues that I first got introduced to as a kid in the 90's animated show such as Sandman Vulture Rhino Doctor Octopus Scorpion Electro Shocker Hobgoblin Carnage Black Cat Chameleon Kraven Morbius Mysterio Venom The Lizard Green Goblin Hydroman Was just to see if anyone would have any advice on what would be a good way to get started. From what I have seen from my own very limited research Rhino & Shocker seem to be the best bets in terms of the late 1960's cheaper books to get started?
  2. Hey Everyone, Sorry if this has already been covered but was just wondering if any of you have had experience with using Hake's or DIG Auction? Always see it advertised on here and there is a auction coming up soon was considering putting a bid in for a few books but im always a little sceptical of sites like these that I haven't used before. Is there a way to check if the person you are buying from is a reputable seller similar to ebay or just any other assurances like that? Just a noob looking to get started lol
  3. Hi guys looking at making my first purchase seen a copy of Batman #180 on Ebay. Sorry about only the one photo its all he has up. Was just wondering what your guess would be of what grade it would be? And if is less desirable because its a UK variant I think? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  4. Hey guys new member from Scotland. Any recommendations on UK sites that sell graded comics?
  5. See this is a thing im a bit worries about as well. The only comics I know that are worth big money are the obvious ones like the first Superman, Batman, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Thor and Hulk. I really love this one that's for sale on Ebay right now, I just love the Joker in that iconic Mask pose. But the seller is wanting $140 which I thought was a bit steep?
  6. I think you may have gotten the wrong idea man. Im not looking to just buy low and sell high I'm under no illusions that I'm going to become a millionaire flipping comic books lol. Ive just never previously bought comics that's are expensive most I've ever dropped is probably about £20. Since this is all rather new to me I just want to make sure I don't make a beginners mistake and buy something for say £100 and then realise it wasn't even worth half of that. Thanks for the info on shipping though, didn't know that so will probably make a couple purchases before sending them off.
  7. Hey guys Been a massive fan of the medium for years and have recently decided to start look at collecting graded comics, but since this is a world I have never really entered the whole thing seems a lot to take in and understand. So would be really appreciative if anyone would be willing to give me a few pointers to get me started. For example I am currently watching a copy of Thor#169 It seems to be going for a reasonable price and looks in decent condition but has yet not been graded I checked the price of what a graded copy of Thor#169 went for at https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/thor/169/xkqvk Not sure if that site is an accurate account of what comics go for or are people just asking for a lot but if it is I think I could make some money on this one How much would it be for me to just have that one book graded? Was wondering if the cost of having the grading done would eliminate the bulk or all profit I could potentially gain from this comic. Any information would be greatly appreciated Regards
