What books do you see as basically worthless (not even worth a dime)?

[1Cool]

While sifting thru 70 long boxes of primarily early 90s drek I've had to figure out which books are nearly worthless and which are at least possible sellers. I've designated Malibu books as instant donations while holding on to the Valiant stuff. Most of the Image books are being shipped off to the library where as the Spiderman books are being kept.

 

From your vantage point what books are not even worth $0.10 to anyone? Some people may consider all 90s as "worthless" but if you had to pick books to give away which ones would you pick?

MyComicShop buys an awful lot or worthless books. I constantly surprised by both what is on their buy list, and what isn't.

Rom & Metal Men

Rom & Metal Men

I sell the out of Metal Men. Can't explain it, but I do.

[Scrooge]

I'd pay a dime an issue for a full run of ROM. :shrug: Heck I probably would pay more!!

Living up to your board name, are you? I'll bump his offer by 10%

You probably have to buy junk to get the good stuff as well as a dealer.

 

I would say 95% of anything copper to now, particularly 9.0 or below you could probably write off.

Legends of the Dark Knight 1. Those colour covers give me the shivers

[Meeklo]

Pretty much anything I own it seems...

Good one. I thought about keeping all Batman books since a kid may pay $1 at a con for a Bat book but who wants the off-brand issues like Legends of the Dark Knight. I also thru almost all the Excalibur issues into the donate pile. People are looking for certain X-Men issues but who is looking for Excalibur issues?

Everything in greggy's collection.

Apparently, offbeat 80's indie books. Tried to sell a long box of these on the boards awhile back for 20 bucks plus shipping. Not even a nibble.

early actions and detectives...golden age timely's, etc

[EwanUK]

My experience: just about all mid-80s to present Marvel & DC will sell in runs / sets / bulk if priced cheaply - but certainly would not sell even at 1p if listed individually

 

The most worthless titles appear to be -

 

90s Image books (always loads in every collection I buy - infested with them)

Later Valiants

Malibu (yuk)

 

Unfortunately, a lot of the quality 1980s indie (First, Pacific etc) / Epic / 90s Vertigo books are also very low valued... with a few exceptions

 

However, in every pile of drek, there may be a diamond, as below...

I think Batman LOTDK was a pretty good read.

[Iceman399]

I think Batman LOTDK was a pretty good read.

 

It may be a good read but the number of #1 issues out there for me makes it absolutely worthless.

[jsilverjanet]

Brigade. I always see this book in boxes and never seems to go anyhwere

But will it sell?

You need to get that Flintstones comic off the floor and never take it out of its bag and board…can't believe you'd leave a diamond like that out and about!
