Anything that didn't fit in a half box went into the garbage or was given away... like FF 101 to like 231 all dumped. Only the under 100 and John Byrne books got saved. Im glad he saved them. Trust me FF 13-100 are worth plenty now depending on condition. First inhumans, black panther, surfer in NM are worth thousands. In decent cond still worth a lot like wise the Krby issues. Much more than 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Karl Liebl Posted October 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2018 Too many to post... Yes there only about 25 books below 50 but 50 to 100 has all He never did get a 48 that was too expensive for a kid in the 70's oldmilwaukee6er, evilskip, Raze and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Definitely some money there. If you get a paypal account those will sell like hotcakes on ebay. That 52 is a $500-$1200 book depending on condition. Maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Liebl Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Ff 52 and Howard the Duck 1 and Star Wars 1 i send in for pressing and grading. Not cheap. It would probably cost 30000 to do them all haha. The panther was 500 bucks not including ridiculous postal insurance sending it in... Yes most of the books are 9.0 or better but thats just my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're getting charged that much for one book you're talking to the wrong presser. There are plenty that are very reasonable and the pressing/grading is very much worth the cost.

Karl Liebl Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I followed the CGC pricing guidelines here based on my estimates of fair market value. Im not really worried about it so no one else needs to. After all, I got all the books for free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand if you are steeped in all these high-end-collector knowledge and practices why you don't just scan them and put them up for sale here? Trying to wrap my head around this, but all I smell is fish. Mystafo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why. Let me be clear - I only started this thread because Arch asked me to. And as you can see above - others have had the same experience, but with a happy ending. I was asked to put this out here, so I have. Beige 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Liebl Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 These are the non FF I have... The Spider man books are quite nice... Star Wars and Howard went out with the Panther for pressing and slabbing too... I bought the EC to mount on the wall but never got around to it. Im sure those two funky X Men were the last my brother ever purschased... This was a Christmas present to my brother now its back with me again.
