My preference is to sell all at once so first consideration will probably go to an investor or someone that has time to work/flip these books. I've never pressed a book or sent a raw book off to get graded so lots of potential here. Also, CBR has some ridiculously low prices on keys (especially my Star Wars keys!). I am not an expert at grading so when I entered each book, I chose a "minimum possible grade" to make sure nobody would be displeased with my grading. For example, most anything NM is simply graded a 9.0 and anything with an obvious spine tick or other blemishes immediately got entered as a 7 or an 8. Lower grades are also minimums. I also have several long boxes to add to my pile but I think I've got most of the keys and popular runs entered so I may just give those away with the collection as bonus. Highlights of the collection include lots of Amazing Spider-Man, ASM 34-60, ASM 129, ASM 300, Daredevil 1-50 almost complete run, Hulk 181, Nyx complete run, Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man 1, Submariner 1, She Hulk 1, Black Panther 1, WWBN 32, Captain America 100, Avengers 4, and lots more I can't keep track of right now. Anyways, I am not sure that this is the right forum to find a buyer but I thought I would test the waters and see what feedback I might get. thanks for looking! edit: msg me for a spreadsheet list; this interface for viewing others' collections is kind of a mess Last edited February 9, 2021 1:20:14 pm

drl Collector in Training lifetime member Location: Seattle Posts: 6 My Collection	Posted: February 9, 2021 12:35:46 pm Sorry I should have said "still" ridiculously low as it takes time for values on any site to update. I didn't mean it in a bad way. Even other sites like gocollect, etc. will need time for recent sales to get recorded and updated. This is happening across the board with Star Wars comics at the moment and several other hot books. Here are some examples from my collection: Mace Windu: reported CBR value $95, eBay sold prices consistently +$300 ASM 9.4 cgc reported value $600, eBay sold prices consistently around $1,200 Hulk 181 7.0 cgc reported value $1,870, eBay sold prices at $3,400 Darth Maul 2 NM - $3.80, ebay sold $60+ Star Wars 42 cgc 9.6 reported value $330, eBay sold prices avg $900+ CBR is a great site and a great tool, I am just pointing out to potential buyers that there are steals in the valuation of this collection due to timing/fluctuation of values. Thx Last edited February 9, 2021 12:44:18 pm

Our pricing is displayed in RAW pricing in the stated grade. It currently does not display the value of CGC graded comics. They are two different things.
