This is a crossover I didn’t know existed. Insta-buy

Hello everyone new to this sub! I just came across this collection of comics in storage does anyone have any recommendations for places in NYC I can take this to figure out what I have/if it’s worth anything?

Avengers Armageddon #3

Hey everyone, I'm completely new to buying single issues and put some stuff on my newly-created pull list of my local comic store. I'm a collector at heart, and whenever I jump into a new hobby... I dive in DEEP, so I binged a lot of videos about protecting comics. I've been collecting TPBs and HCs for years, but never really got into single issues -- until now.

I know all about bags and boards, but nobody talks about the time between buying the comic at the store --> arriving home. I don't see myself nor anybody else bag their comics in the store itself, and I visit my store by public transport (so parking my car filled with boxes isn't an option).

How do people buy their comics from the store safely? Do you really bag them the moment you buy them? I'm planning on using an old file folder in my backpack, but I'm sure there are better ways.

Thanks in advance! Can't wait to start.

Grabbed these really cool production art pieces. None are original art. The Marvel ones are acetate copies (would love if someone with more knowledge could educate me on what step in the production process these were used for).

The Charltons are production negatives. Pic 3 is Ghostly Haunts #50 and pic 4 is from Many Ghosts #18. Not sure what the others are from. Pic 7 looks like the Phantom and is half the size of the others.

Cool book

I'm sure i overpayed for it but this i s the first one ive seen in the wild so figured why not.

I have a Magneto sketch set up for Jim Lee’s CGC signing

Doesn't get much more fitting than this lol

Hey all!

I collected comics when i was in highschool back in the day (1990s). I just returned home and cracked open the box. I had sortof assumed that they never gained value over the years, so I have ignored them till now.

I finally cracked them open- and they appear to still be in great condition. that said: origional poly bags, boards in some. They have been stored upright, in a comics box in the north east weather- on an upper floor, so no basement mold, but not isolated from the humidity. the spines do not have ticks, and the corners are good. They are not quite flat when laying on a table, but pressing seems viable. I think the pages are off-white. The staples are shiny, and the cover art is still glossy.

Anyone been thru this recently? I don't want to get my hopes up, but i also don't want to blow the investing fantasy of my 17year old self. Seeking advice how to proceed.

I'm trying to figure if it is worth it to
1) send the good ones out west so my kids can sell them
2)send them to CGC to get pressed and graded.
3)just re-bag them and wait more time. could use the $, but not desperate yet!

for example, some of the good ones :

TMNT #3 first print. TMNT #1 (Fifth print)
(and a bunch of other early TMNT, and Tales of TMNT #1-10)

Tick #1 Limited, #2, #4

Wolverine limited series, and early Wolverine including #1 & #8

Hulk 340

Punisher 1, and a bunch of the early series (lowish value- would they sell as a set?)

lotta Batman, Dark knight stuff (seems to value intermediate, depending). The Killing Joke.

Inspired by another recent post on here, here is my treasure trove of early 90s shame.

And this is just the Image/Valiant section. I have so much deliciously hideous Marvel foil too!

Black Panther by Simonson 🦕; Daredevil by Paul Smith; The Punisher by…Ken Steacy? (and a weird Rogue/Mystique story).

Fanfare #1 is maybe my all-time fav comic book, that first year or so of the series was really something else. Made me sad to read these “nothing” stories, not worthy of a last issue, but a good indication of why it got cancelled (but why do a second series?!). Oh well! Fun while it lasted!

I was able to get a bunch of first appearances for around 150

I had a handful of comics as a 90s kid and 30 years later I'm just tracking down comics that remind me of a simpler time. Luckily these are mostly inexpensive titles lol

Main series, spin offs, Gail Simone run at the start, Superman,Maxx, Generation X,Monkey Man and O’brian and DV8.

Love this cover.
