PGM X-Men #40 Edited to add bigger images

[texcan85-migration]

I am very new to the comic book scene and just recently acquired close to probably 10,000 comics. We have just started going through them and this is one of the older ones we have found. Since I don't know a whole lot, I was wondering if you guys could help me grade some comics. Thanks.

your scans will need to be 3 times bigger to give us a chance to examine the book better.

[Point Five]

Welcome to the boards!

 

Corner stain and creasing will hold down the grade... I'd guess 4.5, give or take.

 

 

[NuffSaid57]

Nice book! With spine wear, top edge and significant tanning I will say 4.0

VG+ always loved this book (thumbs u

[CycleGirl]

Welcome to the boards! I would say about VG+ from just looking at the front covers. I think that it would be a VG/FN if it weren't for that crease over on the left-hand side.

Well this good news!! Thanks for your input!!

 

Now to find someone who will buy it

Books like that are easy to sell!

[CycleGirl]

... I probably should add, you just have to offer it at the right price.

[texcan85-migration]

Yeah, I don't know a whole lot about that either....

 

I am such a noob

 

So any advice or help is more than welcome

 

 

P.S. I have a lot of comics I am hoping to sell

OSPG has X-men 40 in 4.0 at $24

[texcan85-migration]

Yeah I have been looking over the prices but my question is, is that what people will actually pay for the book?

You could try offering it for a price then lowering it by a few dollars every couple of days if it doesn't sell.

 

With that X-Men #40. You might try starting at $25. After two days, drop to $22, keep dropping by $3 until it sells.

 

I assume that you've found the for-sale section?

 

Here is a thread with some books in the price range of your book

sale thread

 

Notice there are a few X-Men in there similar in age and quality as your book. Those are priced in the $20 - $25 range, so you would be in the ball park.

 

It takes work to find reasonable pricing for books, such as the benchmarking that I just did for you. You will simply need to do the same for your books. If you don't want to do this, you may want to have someone sell the books for you on a commission. (not me, you can't afford me )

 

 

[texcan85-migration]

Thanks for all the information! This is going to be a long process especially since I have 2 little ones running around and the books are being kept in the basement of another house.

 

I think I am going to start with typing up a spreadsheet of everything I have and go from there.

 

I may not hire you to help me sell my books but I might just keep asking you for advice

 

Thanks again

4.0~ 4.5

[Conan_Aficionado]

4.5, it's got that readers crease on the spine and dust shadow on the top edge

 

but it's got great edges and corners, beautiful book and best yet, NO foxing, staining or water damage.

[The Silver-Age]

yup...4.5
