thinksinc Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I've inherited a little over sixty Silver Age comics from my grandfather, and am interested in selling them. Before I post them as-is on eBay (bagged with cardboard backs), I was curious to know if any of them might be worth the investment of grading? I've never had a book graded before and am not an avid collector or familiar enough with the nuances of quality to estimate a grade myself. My understanding is that it would cost about $100 to have a book graded, so its value would need to be above that amount by enough to make it worthwhile. I've photographed each comic and done a 360° video in preparation for the sale. I wouldn't ask for any actual grades for a 60+ title collection, but I'd be grateful if anyone could skim through the collection and let me know if any issues look good enough to potentially be graded. I'm guessing that many have little-to-no value based on their condition, and some may fetch a few bucks, but if there's one or two that might be worth something, I'd appreciate any tips on which ones could potentially benefit from pressing and grading. The collection can be seen here: one cover photo and one 360° video (showing back cover) per issue. https://www.icloud.com/photos/#049Um9jwZCGQgt9sbpoa3D8Iw Cheers!

KCOComics Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Nothing jumped out to me as being worth grading. L'Angelo Misterioso 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 you can look up sold prices on ebay, its not too many titles. Anything that sells $200 and up in/around the grade of your comic is at least worth considering (then do more research from there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokiguy Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 No, I didn't see anything that I would think is much more than average run of the mill 1960's DC's. It's a shame since you put a lot of work into those books to display them that none of them are key issue books worth a mint. But though not valuable, those types of DC's happen to be what I collect. I think I'm trying to relive my youth. Most folks are into Marvel these days, but I grew up on these exact same DC's that you have and are asking about. Don't know what your plans are but I'm interested if the price can be worked out. Let me know. KCOComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STANGRY Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 I wish there was a place to find high grade raw books - that should be a website SSSnake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
