Hello I'm new to this website . I have about 10 long boxes of 80's and 90's comics that were passed to me from my father. I know a little about comics. All the comics are bagged and backed and have been for quite some time. I was wondering what if any holy grails from the copper age are. Especially ones that haven't been graded but are all near mint. Thanks for any help.

A good place to start:

“SellMyComicBooks.Com “

or

“GoCollect.Com”

 

Good information regarding what’s trending and hot on the current market. There are so many books out there, but some key issues that come to mind are:

Amazing Spider-Man #300

New Mutants #98

Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles #1

etc ...... you’ll be more informed as you do more research. Have fun and enjoy the books.

Since this is the CGC message board, we should probably say that books that are worth collecting are worth sending to CGC.  The more collectible the book, the more often it is sent to CGC.

So, if the book is from the 1980s or 1990s and it has been sent to CGC 250 times (for Marvel or D.C.) or sent to CGC 100 times (for any other publisher), it's on this list.

Enjoy!

An 18 year old was born in 2000.  His father could easily have been born in 1972, which makes him ages 8 to 27 for collecting comics in the 1980s and 1990s. 

Old?  Yes... if you consider "born in 1972" to be old.

Exactly! OR his father could have been one of these frisky fellas!

I might have picked 1972 randomly.

Some good starting info above.  Just be aware, for comics that era and newer, condition has to be pristine, with a few exceptions.
