Comic Books
I used to read/collect these in middle school, and I have 2 big boxes of them. Some are older like early amazing spidermans, others are newer. Some are autographed. Most are in excellent shape, a few of the older ones look a little older.
Should I sell these now? Would this be a seller's market? Should I hold on another 5/10 years? I don't neeeed the money, but if they won't noticeably appreciate, I don't see any reason to hold on to them. |

I don't know about values, but I have a couple Jewish comic books (something like "Super Mensch") that are awesome.

Re: Comic Books
I have 3 boxes from around the same period (middle school) mostly Spider man's and Punishers.
What is your earliest Amazing Spider Man? Some of the earliest ones #1-15 can go for thousands. Look through a "Wizard" magazine for prices and then expect to get about 1/3 of what's listed in the magazine price guide. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |

Re: Comic Books
I had a similar question and one of my roommates was a comic book freak (also worked at a comic store). I ended up bringing my boxes up and he looked through everything. Basically there ended up being several books that were worth something (10 bucks tops). I had spawn #1 and some other stuff, however my roommate explained that the comic book market goes through periods where comics become incredibly popular, during these periods the comics produced during these times becomes much less valuable. Obviously this is basic economics, but as it worked out the books I had saved were during a period where comics were very popular thus the lack of value.
This whole conversation reminds me of the dessert storm trading cards convo in Garden state. |

Re: Comic Books
I have Amazing Spiderman 17, it's the second appearance of Green Goblin. I'm not sure how to rate the condition, it certainly isn't mint.

You could probably get a couple of hundred for this if it's in even fair condition. First and second appearances of major charachters usually bring in the most $ |

Re: Comic Books
The Green Goblin is easily one of the signature and most popular character of the series, too. Since he later killed Spidey's girlfriend, he may be the most important villain in the series -- it definitely was a huge comic event at the time.
