weasel87 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Trying to get started in Golden Age books. I bought a batman #103 thinking it was Golden, but it turned out to be the first Silver. And then this week I bought a Police Comics #52 and Whiz comics #46. Both low grade and not valuable on the market, but valuable to me because, hey, their my first Golden books. You guys have any suggestions besides eBay for picking up low grade Golden Age books for low prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is going on right now but I think the golden age closed already. https://www.comiclink.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myowncollector Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Rare to find in wild. You try asking any really old family members or neighbors. Estate sale. You are on the right track. Non superman batman etc are a bargain. Captain Marvel is cheaper than Captain America. More popular more expensive. 50s cheaper than 40s. If you just want gold books it's easy. When you want keys, pre ww2, hitler, bondage etc it gets expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure though if they are going to continue to have links to all other copies of the same book at the bottom of the auction lot when this goes live on Monday. Especially since this would make absolutely no sense at all to potential consignors as it basically serves only to use the consignor's book(s) to help promote the auction house's available inventory more than anything else.

vheflin Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Mycomicshop is awash in low-grade comics from all ages. Newkadia is as well but be forewarned the grading can be a bit rich. Read carefully the detailed grading chart before buying. Nevertheless, prices are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True comic book collectors who have devoted a lifetime to GA/SA collecting, good and fair pricing and great great material...they are both board members and good luck, I hope you build a rewarding collection. lou_fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
