    Also, you're right the Batman has a few weird cut outs on the cover (who cuts out a single perfect circle?) I was reallllly hoping it was some sort of alternate cover versus just damage :(.

    Agh! I didn't get notifications for all the great posts. And I've been wrapped up at work launching this product. So sorry! Thank you all for the great feedback. I had emailed a few online sites for quotes and had heard that $300 number. I was seeing ranges on Ebay for the Batman (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=%2341+batman+1947&_sacat=0) in the $500 to $1000 range - (obviously higher quality, but mine isn't missing pages etc) so I was trying to get a feel for if the $300 for both number was a low ball and I could hope for a few hundred more. When I did an initial Google it was hard to tell which sites were good resources for asking for quotes. ComicLink had offered to consign it for auction but then the return is an unknown. Thanks for the resources for MyComicShop - i'll reach out there too. Again thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm planning on splitting the proceeds with my siblings, since it's not really fair that I came upon something valuable simply because I'm a hoarder of kitsch so currently working to get the best value.

    I caught my mom about to throw away some of my grandfather's comics and took them home myself. While many aren't that interesting (Illustrated Classics, Looney Tunes from the 70s, etc), I do have a Batman #41 (1947) and Flash Comics #85 (1947) that based on a quick Ebay search - seem valuable. They also seem in good shape (minimal tears, yellowing - no cut outs, writing, tape) So, as a total noob here - what should I do next? (Other than read and admire them) Send to CGC to get graded and ebay post myself? Take to local comic shops? Send to online company who will quote based on pictures? My goals are to get a decent price for them, but also make the selling/shipping/etc be a simple as possible. Any advice on what sort of return I could expect? What to ask? What to look out for? Thanks for y'alls expert thoughts.
