The fact that even the crazy rare valuable stuff (like Action Comics #1) is not even in a protective case of any sort does not speak well of the condition of everything. I’m sure they’ll still get lots of money for them, but probably half or a third what they could have if things were stored more carefully.

Thousands of comics, but we’re not allowed to read them.

Capitalism!

To get the best price, they’d need to get them all graded (at least the old ones) and sell one at a time.

It is a shame to break them up. If they could put them in lots by title or at least year, it would get them to stay sorta together. But you will get someone who needs issue #33 only to bid higher on one book, vs the one he needs and 11 he doesn’t.

I would love to leaf through them and smell them.

ETA - the only person who might have the means and will to buy the whole collection, that I know of, would be Nic Cage.IIRC he is a big comic fan, especially Superman.

Rich arrested-development wankery. Scan the comics and let everyone read them.

You’re going to read them the comics as they learn the proper place to do their business? :thinking: That’s very sweet!

Save that, at least according to a recent interview, he doesn’t have the money. That is why he has been churning out so many movies of late, because of being in so much debt after the real estate market crashed.

I think that, with a little looking, virtually all of those have already been scanned and are out there somewhere for people to read.
