Tomorrow I'm going to look at a comic book collection that has 15 long boxes from 1966 to 1990. When you do this kind of thing it's difficult because you never know what the condition will be and how the owner values them. They might have great stuff but want more than market value or they could be reasonable about the price but not the grade. It's a tricky thing.

Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic because he sent me a list of Amazing Spiderman issues and a picture of issue #300
From #39 to 136 he has about half of those issues (No Morbius issue 101)
From #180 to 340 he has a complete run (that includes 194, 238, 252, 298, 299, 300, 316)
He only has a handwritten list of the rest of the collection, which I haven't seen.

If you're looking for a specific book please let me know in advance and I'll try to help you out.

Thanks Ron - what an awesome opportunity and adventure! I would love to pick up a #62 and #238 if it has the tattoo insert. They are probably too expensive but would love to hear if they have a 50, 100, and 129.

Are you going there with the objective of filling holes in your collection and grabbing keys. Or looking to potentially load up the car with 15 long boxes.

One of my goals for this year was to make some extra money on the side so I expect to buy some things to sell and I'm 100% sure there will be things I'll keep. So filling in my collection and picking up keys to sell. I don't think that I'll come home with 15 long boxes. That wouldn't go over well with my wife since I already have 9 long boxes to sell. Opps. smile

I'd love to get the ASM 300 but I'd rather spend that money on a Detective #85.

Donald,
I'm still working on putting the books in new bags and boards since they were in a basement for 30 years untouched. All the bags are yellow and sticking together. My next step is to determine if any of the books are worth grading. Then I'll take the spoils of war and start listed the issues for sales. I already have all the issues you mentioned so they will be graded or listed soon.
