[font:Comic Sans MS][font:Comic Sans MS]I've got about 20 comic based web sites that I refer to occasionally that are great for print run figures, sales figures and just generally looking at some great books. I'll list a few of the ones I like and I'd love to see some that you refer to also...[/font]

I've got about 20 comic based web sites that I refer to occasionally that are great for print run figures, sales figures and just generally looking at some great books. Looking forward to see what online tools you use for your hobby

 

-- Try the Grand Comics Database at http://www.comics.org/ . I've found this very helpful for determining the correct page count in comics, identifying a coverless issue based on interior stories, and getting a quick snapshot of a comic's run by looking at a gallery of thumbnails.

 

-- It is funny that you don't include the CGC Census in your list of resources. I'll assume you considered it too obvious to post.

 

-- Nostomania can be an interesting site. They chart the rising and falling sale-price values of the Top 100 most valuable comics, among other things.

 

-- The BIP Comics guide to cover artifacts is very enlightening, as is their publisher list

 

-- In addition to eBay and Heritage, there are numerous online auction houses including ComicLink (which you mentioned), ComicConnect , Philip Weiss auctions, and several others I won't mention in hopes that others here don't outbid me.

 

-- It's pretty hit-and-miss with Craigslist , but I've nabbed a few cool comics from local sellers on occasion. Most of the people on Craigslist are dealers who want to undergrade and overcharge, or dreamers who think their stack of childhood comics from the 1980s or '90s are going to be worth thousands today, rather than the few bucks they're actually worth. Still, it's that one great deal that sneaks along every so often that makes it worth the Craigslist search.

 

-- For fun browsing, Detective27.com has this page full of vintage photos that show comic books at the time they were on the racks.

 

-- Another fun site is The Lost SOTI site, which is dedicated to the comics that formed the basis for Fredric Wertham's anti-comics screed "Seduction of the Innocent." This book lead to senate hearings in the 1950s which spurred the destruction of thousands of comics by parents who were convinced comics were a corrupting influence leading to juvenile delinquency.
