Ultimate Spider-Man Question

JackDatsun — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:27:05 GMT

Hi fellows! I was a ridiculous comic collector in the 90s, sucked in by foil variants and the like.

Anyway, it seems the only comics that gain value are the ones that are actually good. Sadly, I bought very few of those. However, I do have an uninterupted run 1-31 of Ultimate Spiderman, read once (if that) then bagged, boarded and boxed.

What sort of prices should I be looking at? Where should I be selling it? Should I sell it? What to do what to do! Your advice and expertise would be much appreciated.

Another Variant!?!?? Won't they ever learn?

Magic Dan — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:55:21 GMT

http://cgi.ebay.com/HULK-14-1-200-Deadpool-McGuinness-Variant-RARE-NR_W0QQitemZ320439901675QQihZ011QQcmdZViewItem

Here's a 1:200 Hulk #14 variant...

Big turn off. I'm positive someone else posted a similar gripe...I hate manufactured "demand." Variant covers produced to encorage collector interest:angry:...learned my lessons in the throws of the early 90's; when the comic industry was the closest to self-destruction ever.

I just purchased HULK #16 Ed McGuinness VARIANT Cover 1:200 on EBAY from a UK seller for $85.00 in 9.6 condition. The cover with Red Hulk and Deadpool. I have seen this issue sell for around $190.00 and is worth around $200.00 on the CPG site.
I need help in deciding what I should do.

1) Sell it on Ebay and prob get double of what I paid for it
2) CGC it and keep
3) CGC it and prob sell it for $250 to $400 on ebay.

PLEASE HELP I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!

Insuring your collection

Icebreaka — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:24:47 GMT

So my wife and I just got home insurance. I really should have had it much sooner but I was cheaping out until now. So anyway I figured after tallying up the value of the things in our home that my collection is worth $25000 give or take based on its value on this site and the rest of our ownings are about another 25k or so. So I insured things for 50k and we got a nice package for about $25 a month.

I spoke to them today about the comics to make sure and turns out they only reimburse up to $1000 max for a comic book collection without a proven appraisal. I asked where/how I could do that and whether I could submit my excel spreadsheet from this site and have that work. They suggested maybe the owner of my lcs could verify and sign that it was valid. Its kind of far fetched really though as I have 6000 books and he's not going to go down the list and make sure I'm not lying. I think I might have to scale things back to only my top 100 books or maybe top 200 or so. I pains me to leave some behind but beyond the top 200 there are mostly books at less than $20 each.

I know there are some places that deal specifically with comic book insurance. Any have any good luck with them and what are the premiums like. I'd hate to lose the collection in a fire or theft. Its unlikely but paying for home insurance that doesn't cover my most valuable material possession annoys me!

Dennis the menace bonus magazine series

ryans63 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:29:42 GMT

I have some issues of Dennis the menace bonus magazine series and am wondering where I locate where the issue number is at on the comics.

what the deal with GL 185 price

Virii-IX — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:44:42 GMT

Hope this topic is at the right place. I just got a copy of Green lantern #185 and when I entered it in the cpg database I happen to notice that the pic there is 95 cent and mine is 75 cent how come?? I tought it was
because the one I own is first print but looking on the bay I saw another one at 75 cent cover that was not 1fst print. Anybody can explain??? is that a price variant or just a second print that was made after the price change of comics??:hmmmm: thanks for your knowledge and help

What are your comics worth to a dealer? MileHighs buying prices

mark — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:53:47 GMT

Ever wonder how much a dealer would give you for your books? What is the real value of your collection to that dealer?

Well, you know that buying from dealers or ebay is market price or replacement price. But how much would a dealer pay you? I found this today and wonder what you all think.

Let me warn you, it is my expectation that they are not much different then anyone else. Hence the reason you never want to sell to a dealer if you can avoid it.

Incredible Hulk #180: The Poor Man's Hulk 181?

Magic Dan — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:05:33 GMT

Has this been discussed?

I've been trolling the comic sites and have noticed a pick up in Hulk 180 prices (especially CGC'd VF/NM and above). Both 180 or 181 are rather plentiful but with Incredible Hulk #181 topping crazy prices are collectors on budgets settling for Wolverine's 1st slight cameo appearance in lue of the more popular 181? Has this been a growing trend for longer than the one year that I've noticed it? Is it only because of the recession?...I'm just wondering :hmmmm:

Warner DC comics super a box educational 1977

I have a box of comics called Super A. They are copyrighted by warner educational services, with the characters copyrighted by dc comics.They also say Science Research Association Inc. A subsidiary of IBM. From what I gather they were printed to use in schools and never sold to the public. If anyone has any info for me on a value please let me know.

Thank you.

Anyone know if this has been brought up, yet?

The CPG lists the originals from the 50's but not the reissues that started in 1991 when Russ Chochran took over.

Any input you have would be appreciated!

Comic Storage Options

Silver Age Surfer — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:51:19 GMT

Ok, yes, we all have long and short boxes, stacked storage systems, cases, frames and so on, but does anyone here still use comic book binders to store key comics? From what I understand, you can still buy the ones that hold 20 comics, but have most folks ditched them due to the low storage capacity or is there a damage concern with these things?

Also, has anyone noticed that the new longboxes are [i]too damn small for silver age stuff?[/i] I just got 3 new boxes home last night and, lo and behold, the damn things squish the comics near either end! Is there some kind of distinction now between silver age and current boxes, and if so, does this mean I have to buy bloody mag boxes now just to store SA comics?

Amazing Spider-man 430-431 help question

colorpit — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:40:40 GMT

Why are these issues so expensive and others around it are not?? No wonder why my local comic shop always has a hole where these issues are....I just finally started looking a little more extensively for them...and the price blew my mind. I figured they were like 3 or 4 dollar issues.

Thanks guys!!!

This weekends treasures...

Sidian — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:20:11 GMT

what do you guys think? decent finds?

Nothing New Under the Sun

Silver Age Surfer — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:10:52 GMT

I've noticed lately that, maybe for lack or original thought (but perhaps more-so due to the sheer volume of comic books out there now) that old covers are popping up all over the place sporting a slightly (or in some cases substantially) updated look in some of the newer comic ventures. When I see a new cover that I recognize, I record it (seems silly, but it's a fun side game), and I'm wondering if anyone else out there has noticed any of these subtle (sometimes overt) "homages" to past images that had impact and are still somehow relevant?

If you have a couple of covers (one old, one new) I thought it might be fun to post them and see some stuff that we, as a collective, perhaps haven't already. I was actually even considering starting up a new sub-collection of compiled covers based on one another to showcase the evolution of enduring images.

For example -

[img]http://www.aintitcool.com/images2007/comics/column4407/blackgas.JPG[/img]

and it's "inspiration" -

[img]http://www.paroneiria.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/crimesuspenstories022.jpg[/img]

Of course, you could argue that the new cover was potentially developed without knowledge of the old cover, but somehow I think that's unlikely. And, if you ask me, the older cover is substantially creepier in this case.

Let Mom Look

GrooFan — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:53:04 GMT

I've been recently pricing out my collection and was suprised to find that the "worthless" odds and ends of comics that my Mom had bought me at garage sales were often in the $20-$50 range in value. I'm encouraging her now to go out and buy up anything with a 35 cents or less price on the cover. Usually the people at garage sales just want to get rid of them.

Does anyone else go garage sale'ing?

My grandmother passed away early this year, and after going through her basement i found some first issue of tip top comics and famous funnies. They seem to be in great condition. I myself, im not a comic book collector. So my question is should i hold on to them or sell them? If i should sell them what would be the best way of doing that?

Zenescope

godofkorn2003 — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 05:30:07 GMT

Hey guys im a huge fan of Zenescope I really love everything that they put out. The best thing that I love about them the most is the covers. The covers are so well drawn with great imagination, plus they have limited alternate covers that are woth a lot. I'm a big fan of the Wonderland series the stoy lines and art work are really great. But anywho what is your favorite title and cover?

Star Wars #0 (Dark Horse)

GrooFan — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 13:36:45 GMT

I have been using the CPG site to flesh out the value of my collection and have run into one I can not find. It is titled "Star Wars #0 AnotherUniverse.com Special Edition. It was printed in Canada for Dark Horse, June 1999. It is a reprinting of strips from Pizzazz magazine, 1978.

I've found out by online googling that there were two covers for this comic and that one was released by some company called Another World, and the other cover by American Entertainment. See about half way down the page here...

http://www.rebelscum.com/darkhorse_misc.asp

One of the covers is available from Dark Horse for $10.

http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/97-362/Star-Wars-0-American-Entertainment-special-issue

But, mine has the other cover. It looks like this...
