I've read many times of people losing interest, selling and then in 10 or 15 years spending huge $ buying all this stuff back. How 'bout selling your duplicates and readers and hanging onto the rest of it 'cause you just might wanna' get back into it later. thumbsup2.gif

I auctually offered them on Craigs list and someone offered me 3 cents a book for the 250 boxes and 15 cents for my Marvels.And EVERY Marvel is in a Mylar of one type or another.

But he did offer me $2 apiece for my Spidey 300s.

I would:

 

1 Keep all the pedigree books you have.

 

2 Keep all books that you are strongly attached to, whether its beacuse of a cover or whatever reason.

 

3 I would keep any book that has an OG value of greater than $100 as of 2005, and sell anything else HG, be it Raw or Slabbed.

I'd love to reduce my collection. I just doubt I have anything anybody would want. frown.gif

 

I collect crappy bronze VFs! poke2.gif

 

Hey... me, too! acclaim.gif

 

And

 

I've been known to collect crappy F/VF silver age, too! stooges.gif

 

acclaim.gif Sounds like we have a grassroots movement on our hands!

judging from the late SA slabbed F/VF to VF books in my collection, there are some nice ones out there that are only a little worse than 9.2s.

 

If you want to own a nice presentable copy of the comic and don't care about lables or resale or any of that, those are nice grades. Heck, I've seen some nice looking 5.0 - 6.5s too, with something like a crease on the back cover or whatever.

The average grade for my entire CGC collection is 7.7, so I qualify as well. yay.gif

I would:

 

1 Keep all the pedigree books you have.

 

Counting my MH2 Avengers 134,that would be two comics.

 

2 Keep all books that you are strongly attached to, whether its beacuse of a cover or whatever reason.

 

That would be about a half a box

 

3 I would keep any book that has an OG value of greater than $100 as of 2005, and sell anything else HG, be it Raw or Slabbed.

 

That might be two boxes,using OS prices.So with my two boxes of Avengers and assorted mini-series of theirs and such,I'd be at five boxes. Food for thought. thumbsup2.gif

We had a similar thread in General a while back. My advice is the same.

 

"Keep what you love and sell what you don't."

 

To that I would add... "also keep what you like and is hard to replace". Plus, you can always downgrade the comics you do love. Good luck.
