    Ah... remember back in the day when 200 AD sounded futuristic?

    Oh and Progs... They're called progs.

    I have recently found an aladdins cave of stuff in my folks attic from my youth! Its got early Marvel and DC comics (Planet of the Apes issue 1 circa 1975), Howard the Duck 1976 and Star Trek Magazines and comics in prestine condition from early 1990's. Also some Quantium Leap comics, Battle and Eagle, some from first edition to over 3 years worth. Where can I get them valued and possibly, depending on how much they are worth, sell them? I also have paperback editions of Star Wars and Star Trek books, special editions and all in very good condition. I used to be really into comics but now would be happy fr someone else who appreciates them to have them, for a cost of course:D Thanks for any replies.

    Yes I did get some but most went into archive.. As for Paul Duffy cant remeber tbh its been over 12 years since I worked there. Most of the stuff I have is from the early 80's with some gifts from marvel\dc from the 70's and reprints of issue #1 of superman spider man and a few others

    Hi, was unable to PM you, but I used to work there aswell back in the 90's, I had a rake of comics from them which I got rid of years ago, unless they were originals from say the 70's, they dont really hold alot of value unless you get an a collector who is looking for the specific edition. Drop me a pm with who you worked with, I was on nights and would have left around 1998.

    Have a copy of Killer comix from ,92.Anyone know if its collectable?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,441 ✭✭✭SM01


    Hi All,

    Clearing out old stuff from folks place and need to find a home for the following etc...

    2000AD: 192 editions from progs 643 - 1179.
    2000AD Monthly: 11 issues from Aug '88 - June '91.
    Revolver: Issues 1 - 4.
    Judge Dredd Mega Special: Issue 4.
    Judge Dredd Megazine: Issues 12 and 15.
    Deadline: Feb 93 issue.
    QC Nemesis The Warlock: Issue 1.

    The quality of these are hit and miss - some have pages torn etc. others are in good condition. Are they worth anything as a job lot? €50 a good offer for these or are they worth a bit more / less.


    Appreciate any guidance. Thanks.

    I've moved your post into the Back Issues thread, but you'll want to widen your search avenues if you're set on getting a copy of this comic. Bear in mind that there are two covers out there, and the cover with Barack Obama on it is far less common than the other one. If not eBay, you should at least consider posting a Wanted ad on adverts.ie. That being said, your best bet would still be to get into one of the comic shops and ask them to order a copy of the second or third printings for you.

    seen the second printing on megacitycomics.co.uk. I don't see the big deal myself but marvel seem to be raking it in. I think Marvel have used this "event" to mask the increase in price of Amazing Spiderman to $3.99 :mad:

    Hi All,
    If you need to price a comic, there is a great site called Comicpriceguide, it is the online version of the massive price guide you can buy each year in Sub City. Just be careful when checking:
    (1) You must check the year of publication - As there can be lots of no 1's of same titles
    (2) Publisher and Country - US Pricing is different from UK, mostly the site only gives US pricing, but a rule of thumb would be the the UK version is work 70% of US price (WATCH THIS THOUGH - IN USA it is obviously harder to get the UK version, so depending on the collector, if they are completist they may pay more for a UK pence issue if they really want it)
    (3) The condition - there is a grading system which would help you to get a good idea on a key issue, but it requires a bit of time to check a title and be careful in checking that you do not damage it
    www.comicspriceguide.com
    Hope this helps.
    If you are looking for back-issues - drop out to Blackrock market on the weekends, I have had a comic shop there for the last year but am a lousy marketing man - called
    SUPERHERO COMICS.
    72 Blackrock Market
    Main Street Blackrock.
    Beside the Spice Bazaar in the Market - Open Sat-Sun 11am to 5pm
    Ask for Jimmy
    ** Just got in some lovely first edition Wolverine, issue 1, 1982 of limited seried CGC and issue 1, 1988 of ongoing issue - all good prices ** LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MOVIE
    If you have any for pricing, or are looking for a specific backissue mail me
    Cheers Jimmy
    P.S. Say you say this on board.ie and I will give you a 25% discount

    If the comic doesn't have a CGC grade its hard to say. Have seen it going for anywhere from $150 to $300 depending the CGC grade.

    If you've any of the original tales from the crypt from the 1950's in good condition then they could be worth a fair bit but anything after that isn't worth much - most are just reprints of the early comics.

    I have a dan dare annual 1979 any idea on its value?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 supeerhero


    Hi,
    These annuals depending on condition go for between 10 to 20 Euro, it is 30 years old and the characters were cool.
    Although there was one recently on ebay with an opening bid of 99pence, didn't sell so not sure what closing bid would have been.

    Did you try the new sub city store? It's their back issue space and also Story on Crow Corner in temple bar...check the stickies in the forum for address and map. Otherwise online there seems to be plenty of single issues on ebay.

    Found a Dandy comic from 1977 in my attic years ago- just recently came across it again- any ideas if it's worth anything-It's in very good condition except for a bit yellowish

    Fraid not really worth anything. Some really old [1940's] Dandy's go for 40 or 50 pounds on ebay but there's plenty of 1970's and 80's issues on sale on ebay for 1 or 2 pounds and alot don't seem to be selling. Some people collect the annuals but there doesn't appear to be any collector value to weekly issues.

    My dad has some old Batman and Superman comics that his uncle gave him when he was in New York as a young lad. One Batman one looks old and has Batman with a strange looking outfit with small gloves and short ears. The comic isn't even called Batman, it's called 'Detective Comics', so it's probably not worth a lot. I always thought it was a gas comic, cos Batman pegs a lad off the roof of a house in it. Thought that Batman didn't kill people?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    The comic isn't even called Batman, it's called 'Detective Comics'

    It is Batman - Detective Comics is the name of the comic he frist appeared in [issue 27] and which he still appears in today along with the monthly Batman series and a few other on going titles. Without an issue number and condition the comic is in it's hard to give you any idea of the worth of the comic.

    Batman has and does kill people [all be it rarely] he doesn't use guns. He has thrown a number of people off buildings though most of them don't die but turn into super vilians.

    I have a ton of eagle comics and annuals mainly 80Th's issues..don't think their worth a whole lot..80 issues in all, along with four annuals. DOOMLORD sucks diesel:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 38 stillbornalive


    Hi all not sure where to post this but i was in the mothers attic and stumbled upon my old comics. I looking to see if they have any value and if someone can give me a bit of direction here.

    There first edition prints of MASK comics circa 1986-98 no.s 1 to 80 before the eagle crossover. A good few issues are missing and spoiled

    Also a lot of Transformers comics from the 80's

    Any ideas

    Cheers

    Dave

    I have about 12 years worth of those Panini UK Collectors comics.

    I have the following.

    Astonishing Spider-Man Vol 1 67 to 150
    Astonishing Spider-Man Vol 2 1 to 69
    Astonishing Spider-Man Vol 3 1 to 7 (most current)
    Avengers United 1 to 100
    Avengers Unconquered 1 to 16 (most current)
    Marvel Legends 1 to 43 (most current)

    I also have all the tie in that were in other collector editions (ie Civil War, World War Hulk House of M etc) which would total maybe another 50 to 80 comics between Essential X-Men (all issues since House of M), Wolverine and Deadpool (House of M, Civil War and World War Hulk issues only) and some Mighty World of Marvel issues.

    Where would be the best place to sell, and what type of price should I be looking for? It's about 350 to 400 comics, with about 3 issues per comic so it's a fairly large collection!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 765 ✭✭✭ultain


    Any idea's on the value of a copy of 'The changeling' by A.E van Vogt 1967.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 356 ✭✭wavehopper1


    I lived in the U.S. in the eighties and brought home a load of Marvel comics - X-Men, FF etc. But I also have a lot bought in Ireland too. So one run of X-Men will have editions I bought in U.S. interspersed with copies I bought here.

    If I put these up for sale, do I specify between the two editions, U.S. versus U.K.? I'm pretty sure the covers are the same?

    Hi,

    Ex-Googler here. Back when the Chrome browser was launched, we were given hardcopies of the Chrome comic. I wonder would that be worth anything? If so, what would be a good place to sell it?

    Cheers, C.

    Can't see it being worth much if anything I'm afraid as Scott McCloud who did the art work for the comic did so under a creative commons license and has done some print versions himself and it's free to download pdfs and print your own copies. Unless the print copy you were given is different in some way and part of numbered limited edition it's pretty much the same as printing your own version at home.

    Hi I have a friend who has a copy of Amazing Spider-man #129 Punshier first apperance. It's in good shape but can't find a price online for it. He just wants a rough idea of how much it can go for before he thinks about selling it.
    All the comic book auction sites you need to be a member to get a price guide. Anyone have a idea of how much it might go for?
    Thanks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,788 ✭✭✭ztoical


    Quick look on ebay shows copies listed from as little as $50, a whole bunch around the $300 mark and one at $1350, higher priced copies all have high CGC ratings. Assuming your friend has an original 1974 copy from the first print run and not one of the reprints and he gets it graded I would expect the max he could get to be around 300 to 400 mark. While there is one on ebay for 1350 that's a listing not a sale while copies listed around the 300 mark and lower are getting bids.

    My mother in law is clearing her attic out and has a whole load of Eagle, Shoot, Tiger and Roy of the Rovers. Some are mint condition and were put away with plastic on them and not discoloured. Anyone know if there is a market for these? If not, are these the type of things that are sold at acar boot sale?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    I have most of the run of the 1980's short-lived comic Scream.
    Scream+comic+2
    They're in reasonable condition certainly not badly damaged or anything.
    Are these of any value?

    i think i still have some left in the attic somewhere
    i know there would be good nostalgia factor for them but most British comics don't have great value
    offer you a tenner ;)
