Someone in my neighborhood was throwing out a ton of old Marvel, DC, and assorted other comic books. It looked like he must have been a collector at one point, but rather than sell them he just tossed them to the curb. I took them, brought them home, dusted off the spiders, and am in the process of sorting them. How much do you all think they're worth? I probably won't sell most of them (I have friends with birthdays coming up), I'm mostly just curious.
>>
Like $20 maybe.
>>
>>91722592
Bring some to your LCS. They can give you an estimate
>>
>>91722592
>1970s and 1980s comics
That's quite a treasure trove, anon. Read them first.
>>
I see some shang chi the master of kung fu and I think some Warlock in there, you could probably get a decent amount assuming you have a comic shop nearby that sells old comics but they're also worth reading too
>>
>instant free comic collection

Even if they were mostly trash I'd be happy. Probably bag and board the lot then start reading.
>>
Op here
I plan to read them if I can, and I really don't plan on selling many, if any. I'm more curious than anything. There's a lot of Daredevil, New Teen Titans, Warlord, Power Man & Iron Fist, Iron Man, Hulk, Micronauts, The Defenders, the list goes on and on. Roughly 70s-80s if I had to take a guess as to the time period. To give an idea of the time period, the collection included Warlord No. 39 (Nov 19??) through 78 (Feb 1984)
>>
>>91722592
You probably wouldn't get more than a few bucks for them. Old comics from the 70s and 80s are worth less than the paper they're printed on.

That's not to say they won't be good reads though! Good find, and enjoy!
>>
I'd read them myself. I don't know if you'd make much money from them though. The resale market sucks unless you have silver age books.
>>
>>91722592
I see a defenders book over there, maybe with the netflix tv series they will be worth something now

This is the kind of shit they sell at like a dollar a pop at my comic shop. So maybe you've got like $100 if you sell them all? Unless there are some limited print runs in there I don't recognize.

As a general rule, I never turn down free comics. Ever.

I also do not sell them, I give them away to people who intend to read them.

I've probably lost money along the way, but fuck it. Comics are for reading.

These ones. They've been fused together by water damage, so it's impossible to pull these stacks apart at this point without destroying the books themselves. Most of them can't even be opened.
>>
>>91727924
Yeah I see NTT #2 under there, that's a good 'money' issue if you're looking for one to sell and keep the rest. Ebay would be a good choice.

Shit OP, You scored. I'm excited for you.
Read those Master Of Kung Fu comics, they're awesome.

Not only is NTT #2 in there, the stack includes every single NTT from #1-#39, with the sole exception of #13
>>
>>91728187
Yeah, the Thor and Inhumans stacks are in the worst conditions. Some of the Defenders and the Two-In-Ones may be salvageable yet, I'm currently working on that.
>>
>>91727699
those alone could net you quite a bit if you find the right seller
>>
>OP
One thing I've been leaving out of the pictures is the stack of Warlord comics (#39-78) that I got out of this. I'm saving those as a birthday gift for someone who used to collect Warlord comics back when they were first coming out. Dude had the whole set collected as a teenager, but then when he went to college his parents threw them away (they didn't know how valuable they were to him). I thought giving him all of the ones I got from this haul would be a nice gesture.

What's the condition like on those NTT?

This is a hell of a score, if just in cool stories.
>>
>>91728676
Pretty good, actually. The pages are fairly yellowed with age (as you'd expect of 30+ year old comics), but aside from that there's only minimal bending or creasing. I'd categorize it as "very good" condition, though I don't know how picky you all are.
>>
>>91722592
Value depends largely on condition and demand.
From what I can see, it looks like dollar bin fodder but I've paid up to $8 per book for late 70s stuff in great condition.

I'm jelly of those Micronauts and ROM flops.
I understand not wanting to keep the lot because collecting single issues is ugly. I'd read them and keep what you like though.

>How much do you all think they're worth

ROM will never be reprinted and for what should have been a toy ad it was legendary. The Dire Wraiths in X-Men come from there.

The Daredevil on the top of that stack has the last published comic art of Frank Robbins. That might not fetch a lot of money but it's pretty cool. If you have the Frank Miller issues immediately afterward and the condition is right then you can make a pretty penny. I'm very jealous and happy for you OP.

Sadly there's only one issue. I saw a lot of Man-Thing as I was going through and mistakenly tossed it on the same pile as Swamp Thing. I don't know comics well enough to know the distinction at first glance. Rest assured they're separated now, though.

>>91732174
Not much ROM in the pile (one of the smaller stacks), but there is a FUCK ton of Micronauts and MoKF. Lucky indeed.

>>91731899
kek

>>91731621
Kek. And yeah, that's the plan.
>>
Cool finds OP! Most of this stuff I'm not that interested in but I'm glad you found some cool stuff.

This thread reminds me of a guy I met working at an antique store who I got to talking comics with. Turns out he was collecting for some time! I told him about the kind of stuff I'd like to find (pre-code, non-Big Two stuff) and he said he'd take a look this summer. Fingers crossed.

I should have asked him about a couple of other series I'm interested in. Maybe later...
>>
>>91731787
Marvel took their licensed comics really seriously back then, people still unironically consider Hama's GI Joe one of the best things they've ever published after all. And the crazy thing is they're right.
>>
>>91726796
Kind of surprised nobody has said anything yet, but those Star Wars comics depending on the condition are actually worth 10-50 bucks, OP. Maybe more depending on the issues.
>>
>>91724397

Definitely read them. They may not be worth much (aside from occasional issues), but the Bronze Age produced the best comics. On the whole they weren't as silly as the Silver Age, but the Extreme era and decompression hadn't yet taken hold.

HEY FAGGOT OP

YOUR STAR WARS COMICS ARE WORTH ACTUAL MONEY

GET THEM LOOKED AT

pic unrelated but hopefully eye catching enough as I wouldn't want the OP to lose out on the value of some of his haul.
