Damn... My entire 10,000 piece comic book collection, with some very limited copies, is only worth about $25,000.

Jimmy, I have a butt-load of comic books wrapped in cellophane I'll get rid of e-mail me and see if you're interested. By the way I like the new avatar, that high-heel foot creeped me out a bit.

Joffenbaker - That's because if my comment was good enough, people would vote on the merit of it. I'm getting down votes on comments from two years ago.

If your comics are from the "80's thru 2000's, they're not worth much. Collectors were buying first runs 20 at a time like stamps, which flooded the market. I might be interested in any limited edition sets. I have the 4 part series Wolverine intro that's been appreciating steadily.

The earliest "The Incredible Hulk" I have in VG to mint condition is #78. I wouldn't mind starting with #1.
