| I recently found an old box of my old comics in my dads attic and they are in suprisingly good shape. I have what I think is a whole set of Star Wars comic books starting at number 1. I was wondering how can I find out how far the collection went to see if I have them all and is it better to sell them as a collection or seperates? Thanks!

| its a 107 set however you have tons of variants so hard to tell what you have. If you have a full set you should sell it as a set if not you'll get cherry picked and be left with the common issues (which in that series they are pretty much all good) Condition is the key Good Luck!!! Jesse james

you can sell it as a set and make it easiest for you. But if the condition is fairly good, you will maximize your profit if you peace it out by issue for #1-10, and then group the remaining issues in sequential groups of 5 or so. Any left overs just throw together and sell as one lot. Remember, if the condition sucks, its much better to lot all of it.

| Bobo's got the right idea, if the condition is that good I'd put them out as groups of 10, you'll make more. First things first, though... see if a complete set has anyones interest, all at one time can be just as profitable or moreso becuase that buyer will want all of them, hopefully 'price no object'. As a buyer on eBay, I have noticed that big lots can fetch less than single-digit lots, and lose out on a lot of money to be made. Us 'buyers' only have so much to spend, so a full run for big bucks will scare most (if not all) buyers away, so if it doesn't work first time go in packs of 10. I'm no grader, and if you're not one either I'd suggest looking at the grading thread in this forum and give a reasonable grade to each individual comic. I don't go hog-wild if a comic I purchase isn't as advertised, so long as it still looks good and is close to said grade... but other collectors will most likely be very @n@1 about their purchase, so err on the side of grading a notch lower (looks like a 9.4, list 9.2 or say VF/NM; looks like an 8.0, list as 8.0 or 7.5, don't go over and say its an 8.5). If however you have inspected a comic and say its no doubt a 9.0/NM, stick to it. Take scans, show what you have, and be prepared to back up your claim. THIS, more than anything, will net you the $$$ you're asking. Pictures are OK, but a scan is much preferred to see any and all defects. Last but not least, good luck in selling and hopefully you'll find a buyer who wants the lot and willing to pay a fair amount.

| There is 107 issues of it but there are some very expesive variants in it as well some are .30each and some that are the same issue that have .35 each on them. there are also 2 annuals. There are a lot of people I know that would by the set but you would have to get them graded. were they bagged at all how were theys stored? Jesse
