I kind of know some of what I'm sitting on. And I bought one of those guides. I mean, I'm a comic collector so in many respects, collecting is collecting. But prices online are all over the place. And sadly, nothing is worth thousands. A dozen or so guide in the hundreds. If only their sleeves were in better shape! Of course I haven't gone through all of the boxes yet... From what I can tell there are two conditions to consider, the album itself and the sleeve. Most of the sleeves are VGish but almost all the records are pristine.

Would this thread be complete without someone posting that they've recently inherited a collection of records that they want to sell? That someone is me. A friend inherited his Dad's record collection. A few years later he passed and the records came to me. I have over 1000 sitting in my garage. They run from the early 50's (classical and a few weird 78s) into the late 80's. Some rare stuff. Some Beatles. Some Elvis. Some early Motown. Lots of obscure rockabilly. Problems are twofold: One, the sleeves are mostly beat, like record collector VG level beat. Two, every record store in Portland only wants to pay about $100 for the whole thing sight unseen. So, do I "eBay and record show" the lot slowly over the years, or do I bite the bullet and move the whole thing for the best price?

For lowered price...

Fantastic Four #48 CGC 7.5 WHITE pages -- $1100 $1045 (shipped and insured) A nice, unpressed, upper mid-grade copy of an FF key. The first Silver Surfer! Last GPA sale was $1045 (but for OW pages) plus I've included the shipping and insurance etc. for the continental US in my price. You might want to get in on this one right now before Disney finishes buying FOX and the FF are resurgent. * No probies, HOSer, or generally bad people. Low post count, I may request reference. * Shipping AND insurance to the continental US included. Anywhere else we'll work out. * No return on CGC books (unless obviously it's damaged, etc.). * Paypal preferred. * In thread beats PM. * I'll listen to any offer as usual.

SOLD via PM.

For final Price Reduction.

For Price Reduction

Avengers #4 CGC 5.5 -- $1500 $1425 $1375 (shipped and insured) A nice mid-grade copy of an Avengers classic. As everyone knows it's the first Silver Age Captain America appearance. It's been in my collection for a while and I never did get Stan to sign it. *sigh* I don't want to sell it but I have to pay bills... Last GPA is $1450 so I've included the shipping and insurance etc. in the price. The lower grades are moving up on this one right now. * No probies, HOSer, or generally bad people. Low post count, I may request reference. * Shipping AND insurance to the continental US included. Anywhere else we'll work out. * No return on CGC books (unless obviously it's damaged, etc.). * Paypal preferred. * In thread beats PM. * I'll listen on any offer as usual (PS: My scanner always blurs the labels some. I can take a picture of it if you want)

Last for the Sunday crowd...
