I think I need to amend my estimate.

My Planet Comics run plus my Golden Age books are around $100,000. Then I have a bunch of books in my selling inventory that is taken to comic shows, estimated around $30,000.

I have a bunch of personal books, horror magazines, Conan collection etc. $10,000?

Also have about 200 longs in thehumantorch's basement that I own half of. Best guess on those...?

I would say it is fair to value the entire collection at around $150,000

Very hard to guess-timate value of a collection. e.g. Just looking at a small bundle of consigned SA keys I brought to Calgary Expo Apr, 2017:

AF #15 raw pre-grade 7.0, Cgc 7.0 off-wht to wht just auctioned for $125,000 US.

ASM #1 pre-grade 7.0, Cgc 8.0 off-wht to wht.

ASM #3 pre-grade 9.4, Cgc 9.4 wht, just auctioned for $16,000 US.

ASM #14 pre-grade 8.5, Cgc 9.6 off-wht to wht, just auctioned for $24,000 US.

DD #1 pre-grade 9.0 raw, Cgc 8.5 sold for about $5,800 US.

FF #1 pre-grade 8.0, Cgc 8.0.

Brave Bold #28 pre-grade 6.0, Cgc 9.0 off-wht to wht. Last copy sold to another Eastcoast dealer for $108k US. :wishluck:

Well, my homely collection is worth about $6k not counting the mounds of $5 stuff I buy to read. This thread is inspiring. I don't collect as an investment, but hot damn some of you have built up quite a lot of value just buying stuff you like over the decades.

When you've been collecting comics for 45+ years you dont really see it as an investment so much. Most books that are expensive now, we have bought for pennies on the dollar. I certainly could'nt afford books I own at todays prices.
