3 Tips for Selling Your Comic Book Collection

1. Care for Your Comic Book Collection

To get the best price at resale, be sure to bag, board, and box your collection. Plastic bags protect individual comic books from damage due to dust and moisture. "Boards" are stiff pieces of cardboard you place in the bags with each comic book to prevent spine damage and bent pages. Comic book storage boxes hold 300 to 600 comic books and protect your collection from sunlight damage, reducing the likelihood of misplacement and helping you keep your titles organized.

2. Learn the Value of Your Comic Books

Like new cars, most new comic books start losing value immediately after purchase—however, some vintage titles can be worth a bundle. The first title of a series or the first appearance of a hero or villain can eventually be very valuable. Before selling your collection, consult a price guide for the value of any older titles. Then separate the valuable titles from the bulk titles, and negotiate their sale separately.

3. Consider Timing & Demand

Demand for certain titles waxes and wanes. Consider timing and demand when selling your collection. For instance, since the success of various comic book movies, demand for the corresponding titles has never been hotter. Keep this concept in mind when selling your collection.
