Just pulled these two out and transferred them to clean new bags.

They seem to be fine.  I don't detect cat pee smell.

I wonder if they don't smell or if your nostrils are fried from breathing in this stuff? 

I hope you have one of those WW2 gas masks and a hazmat suit as you are doing this! 

Post some pics of the discarded bags & boxes along with the key issues, please!

I actually love to watch Hoarders! it's so nasty, but I can't help grossing myself out watching!

BTW, if you sell any of these books here, please call the sale: "The Stinky Hoarder Cat Lady Toxic Brown Box Sale" lol

 

I figure ANY sales thread I start on the boards now everyone will ask me if the comics are from the Stinky Cat Hoarder Lady?

You asked for it..... Here is some garbage porn for you.  Lucky for me it's trash day and I won't have to look at these boxes again.

I did ask for it! :sick: That is nasty but the bags and boards don't look too bad from these pics!

I guess the boxes took the brunt of it & it didn't leak thru! I'm happy for you! To sludge thru all this and not get any decent books out would suck! 

I wonder what the Cat lady will fill in the spaces in her house with where these boxes used to go? Half eaten soup cans?

They are small cards from 1991

I thought they might have been cards, hard to tell from the pictures! 

I dunno if they are worth anything but I'm sure we can pump them up so the Cardkids(   @onlyweaknesskryptonite    )  rom the Pokemoan section of the boards will buy them at $100 each! lol

We will tell them it had a special smell o vision scent exclusive to each pack!

Found these in a comic bag by themselves.

Are they anything of value???? I'm guessing no.

These are the cards that came with the Robin II jokers wild comics.

Almost looks like you are lumping me in with that bunch the way that it worded.. I am only there to watch them self destruct.  Also..

I'm sure other board members have lots of war stories to tell about collections they've bought, but.... wow I just went to see (and ended up buying) such a disgusting presenting collection.  Ugh!!!

11 long boxes.  It's sitting in the back of my (covered) pick up right now.  I don't even want to bring it into my garage (my wife will divorce me if she sees it).

The woman who had them was a hoarder, a cat person, a bird person..... she wouldn't let me into her house (cuz she was embarassed).  When I arrived she had 4 of the long boxes in her front yard and she was trying to clean the cat vomit and bird poop off of them.  She later told me that her cats have eaten on top of the boxes for years.  Ugh!!!!

Yes, I know... you want to run away right now.  But what if there's a major key issue?????

From talking to her I knew it was a Copper/Modern collection which is a time period I don't know a lot about (except that there's a ton of drek in the 90s)

But..... there's always a chance of Some Batman Adventures, or New Mutants 98, or Walking Dead so I stopped breathing thru my nose and plunged in.

The first box I grabbed had early Teen Titans including #2.  My big test was to open the disgusting mylar and see if the comic inside was actually nice.  Ugh! To my delight it was actually fairly high grade.

I found many more keys from the era.  Probably the biggest comic I found was The Crow 1 in pretty nice shape.  I also found Xmen 266 in nice shape.

There's a bunch of Turtles comics which I don't know a lot about (and didn't feel like figuring out at the time because of how disgusting everything was)

I made a fairly low ball offer because of how disgusting everything was.... she took it.... and now.... my goal is to remove every comic and dispose of the awfulness of the bags boards and boxes as soon as possible.  But... with 11 long boxes, that's a lot of work!!!!

Here's a pic of the Crow 1 comic.  Front cover presents like a 9.0, but there's some small flaws on the back cover.  By itself it will probably pay for the entire collection.

2nd pic is of one some of the boxes I was dealing with.  As bad as I've ever seen! I think her cats used the boxes as a scratching post.  Luckily EVERY comic I checked out was good in the mylar, but the mylars are disgusting too.  It's really bad.

Have any of you had to deal with a disgusting "presenting" collection like this?  I will say this.... It sure makes negotiating easy.

@onlyweaknesskryptonite I would never lump you in with that crew! 

I tagged you because I think you coined the phrase "Cardkids" and I didn't want to infringe our your copyright! lol
