Typical "I suddenly have a large collection of comics and no idea what I'm doing" post. Plan is to sell them.. Silver Age-modern day. I've been cataloguing all of them as I go through them. Started with the 10/12 cent-ers and am now moving onto the 15+ cent bunch. In no big rush to sell, hoping to maximize value, so I've been trying to give myself a crash course in the last few weeks. Biggest challenge: getting a handle on grading, and deciding which may be worth sending to get graded. I've been doing research and making spreadsheets of for sale/sold listings on Ebay, Heritage, Comic Link, Comic Connect, and a few others sites... which is of limited value without being able to assess the grade of what I have. I've already submitted 3 (Showcase #22, Avengers #4, and Flash #105) in the "Hey, Buddy..." forum, and appreciate the quick responses. I'm not sure what the time frame for submitting 3 more is, but I have many more to go. I've been trying to study the other threads in there, but it's a lot to try to cram into my head this quickly! There are well over 2,000 Silver Age titles alone: Showcase, Action, Adventure, Detective, Brave and the Bold, Justice League, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Green Lantern, Spider-man, Batman, Superman, Daredevil, Incredible Hulk, Journey into Mystery, My Greatest Adventure, Mystery in Space, Strange Adventures, Tales of Suspense, World's Finest, X-Men, etc.... I've learned local shops are not the way to go unless you want to get seriously lowballed, though I did manage to get one to give grades on a few I brought with me, no clue if they're accurate). Another place flat out said they offered 30% of retail, which seems to be pretty standard among the few places I had visited/contacted, so I appreciate her honesty there Plan is: pick a few I was most sure would be worth getting graded, when those come back send in a second batch. Trying to keep expectations re: grades and prices those grades will bring realistic and accurate. The information on these forums has been the most helpful of everything so far. At this point, is there any reason to visit more of these shops in person if I'm not in a rush and there are better ways to sell them for more, even if they're slower and more labor intensive? Should I bother contacting any of these places like "Sell My Comic Books" or "My Comic Shop"? If so, send the full list of what I have with some scans, or pick out a certain number of the more interesting ones? Any suggestions for cramming grading knowledge in my head as fast as possible, besides reading the "Hey Buddy..." forum? Sorry for the long post, this is all super new to me and I have a lot to learn! Thanks!

Hey! I recently purchased an ASM 14 in fair condition that has the wrong back cover. Overall, it’s in pretty rough shape, with tape over the spine and the front cover. Would it be recommended to completely remove the current wrong back cover? If I do, should I replace it with one that matches the original? I was searching through eBay, and Sgt Fury 8 has the same back cover as ASM 14. I included some pictures below to give some context. Thanks, Joey

Looking for the Amazing Spider-man issues below (ow/w or better pages, centered, Universal blue only). ASM #9 (7.5) ASM #12 (7.5) ASM #13 (7.5) ASM #15 (8.0)

Hi, I'm looking for the following Amazing Spider-Man comics. I'm US Buyer, paypal verified and bought from other forum members, ebay, mycomicshop, daleroberts, reeces, metropolis, etc...

ASKING $275 SHIPPED CONUS OR BO! INTL OK TOO BUT SHIPPING WILL BE EXTRA PAYPAL OK OR CHECKS/MO. NO SHENANIGANS PLEASE. NICELY CENTERED WITH OOWP. EARLY LUKE CAGE X-OVER AND GWEN'S FUNERAL PLEASE POST THE OR PM WITH QUESTIONS.....THANKS!

Asking $950 shipped. PayPal only. First "I'll take it" in thread or PM. No returns. Please PM on me if any questions, would entertain offers for trades. I'm relatively new on boards bit have done many transactions on eBay but have done a couple on boards. Here is my kudos page. Dougie28 Kudos Thread - Kudos Forum - CGC Comic Book Collectors Chat Boards

The Books  Some really great books some friends have asked me to put up for sale for them. Some of my own too. Consider all books pressed unless mentioned otherwise.  General Rules   No PL/HOS members  The new board software does not display precise thread post times (either in PMs or in sales threads), which can result in the inability to determine whether a PM post or thread post came first. One thing remains certain - it is easy to tell whether one post in a thread came before another post in the same thread. So, the first "take it" posted in the sales thread wins. If we reach a deal via PM, I'll mark books SOLD in the thread as soon as reasonably possible - but if someone else takes the book in the thread before your PM take is acknowledged in the thread (by either you or I), the thread poster is the winner, I'm afraid; so, there is some risk of losing a book if you try to remain anonymous via PM. (Credit to EC Ed for these rules. I have adapted them with his permission)  I kindly ask that you not Quote a book and then make a comment. It makes the book appear to be sold.  Payment  I'll take PayPal for total sales under $1000 if PayPal is your preferred method. Personal checks, or USPS money orders for total sales $1000 or higher.  When the thread is over an invoice will be sent with PayPal address.      I'll expect payment within 10 calendar days of invoice, or the book will be available for sale again (unless we've made other payment arrangements) Time payments are available for purchases of $2500 or more with 20% non-refundable deposit and installment payments so purchase is paid in full no later than 60 days. If monthly installments are more than 10 days late or payment is defaulted the 20% deposit will be retained by the seller but the rest of monies will be returned to the buyer and the sale will be nullified. Please PM to discuss time payment before taking the book in the thread. I reserve the right to not take time payments.   Shipping Terms USA: $10 for raw and $18 for graded in any quantity. I ship USPS priority with signature required. I pack in Gemini boxes in a USPS legal flat rate envelope for raw books and a Med flat rate box for slabs. Please note the shipping prices are slightly higher than they used to be. It is costing a little more these days.   Canada: $15 for raw and $25 for graded in any quantity. Overseas- Shipping at cost. I only ship overseas to established board members with references. I now only ship one time a week so please be patient as it could take up to 10 days to ship your purchase.  Returns/Refunds General Policy: I will accept returns on raw books within 30 days of your receipt of the books, as long as the books are returned to me as they were when you received them. There are NO RETURNS on CGC graded books. I always accept returns on raw books within 6 months if I missed restoration or the CGC grade is more than 1 grade off (for example I call a raw book a 5.0 and it comes back a 4.5 -no return. If it comes back a 4.0 you can return the book if you want for a full refund plus your shipping to me).
