Hello everyone. New to the cool site. I found a lot of my old comics. What should I do with them? Just keep them? Here are a few off the top of my head. Avengers 196 Marvel Secret Wars 1-6 Ms Marvel 3 and up mixed. Spider Woman 17 and up mixed. The Defenders from 27-190 mixed. Just to name a few. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Plenty of options. Youre in the right spot to look up prices. Start there. Looking up prices one by one might take some time, but may be worth it. You might have some valuable ones such as
Avengers #196 which you may want to sell individually. Hows the condition? Sometimes if a rare or valuable comic is in poor condition it can still sell. I sold an "Amazing-Spider-man" #194 with a
large rip and water stains for $60. Sometimes people want these to finish collections without spending hundreds. If a comic has a low value, tho, it is just going to be low regardless condition. If its
high value and good condition, youre in luck. If it seems to be rare and you are selling, hold out for a good price. Low value dont expect much, you might get 50 cents an issue at most if you sell by
bulk. If you have the selling one by one might be the way to go. You can use this site, Ebay, or some local comic shops buy and it doesnt hurt to ask 'em. I like to use Ebay to see what similar
comics are selling for. Comic shop buy prices usually low since they still need to make a profit.
If you dont want to sell them to re-read, share with a younger generation, use as decoration, or just to keep thats part of the fun of collecting. I have my collection separated into what I will sell and
my "keepers." With my keepers I leave a few out to re-read or guests to read. I also have some issues I leave out for decoration because I like the cover art. Ive been looking at frames they make
to hang on walls.
Give them away? No reason not to hand em out to young family or friends. You could also check with a local church, family help center, or Red Cross to see if they could use them.
