Old Comic Book Values

Why Most People Sell Comic Books After Reading
What do you usually do with your old comic books when you are done reading them? Many of us usually just leave them lying around to wither into old age and then we probably trash it. Other people will probably return them into their original paper seal and keep them stored as collectables and probably sell them later when they are worth more than they are now. If you sell comic books you would be surprised at how much money and demand that is out there.
Most people who sell comic books know the value that comes from owning old comic books, having been maintained like an old vintage car. What you need to do with the comic is put into a clear plastic sleeve, or you can even sell it to someone who is interested. The comic books that sell the most are usually the first series kind and they usually go for a lot of money compared to the new ones that is why you will find that it is collectors who buy such comics. The hard covered comic’s books also have value.
There are also places where you can go and see these comic books, especially at the conventions they usually have people bringing their comic books and showing them to everyone as well as some people selling them. The internet is another good place to find people that are willing to sell comic books or if you are looking for rare comics you can try an auction where you can look for the comic you want. Be sure to leave your comic in good condition and makes sure it’s in mint condition if you intend to sell it one day.

Honky $0.99 “Americans have a tough time admitting two things about themselves: Race matters. Class matters. Dalton Conley’s journey back and forth across the dividing lines invisibly etched on the map of Manhattan does with good story-telling what good sociology can’t. He closes the sale. Through the eyes of a growing child he shows the difficulty of navigating without a map, the hard-won mastery of the unwritten rules. Young Dalton is bewildered by what most of us peers can’t even perceive, the easy acceptance of white privilege. But instead of making a whiny tirade out of it, he makes us smell the street. It’s a much more effective choice, if you ask me.”–Ray Suarez, author of The Old Neighborhood: What We Lost in the Great Suburban Migration, and senior correspondent, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer “Honky is dope. For all you white kids that grew up in Hip-Hop dominated America, this book is for you. It’s a hard honest look at why, no matter how poor and ghetto you are or want to be, as long as you’re white, you’ve still got an advantage in this country. . .very brave.”–Danny Hoch, producer and star of Jails, Hospitals and Hip-Hop”An eye-opening account of what it is like to grow up white in a black inner-city social environment. It is marvelously rich with insights–and a good read, too.”–Elijah Anderson, author of Code of the Street: Decency, Violence, and the Moral Life of the Inner City. “I love Honky — Dalton Conley is a very clever fellow to have strip-mined material so close to home and come up with pure gold. Told within the narrative framework of a white boy’s friendships in the minority projects where his liberal, artistic parents raised their family in conditions that came to resemble a fortress, this ruefully comic memoir of growing up fast in the city easily outdistances a dozen sociological treatises on the deep social clashes and warring values of our time.”–Susan Brownmiller, author of Against Our |

Tolstoy In Riyadh $14.95 In 1982, Chris Cryer spent a year in Saudi Arabia, teaching English to women at King Saud University. Accompanied by her fourteen-year-old son, and a few books by and about Leo Tolstoy, Chris found a sense of connection where she least expected it. The fast-moving, slightly comic, always fascinating adventure pulls us directly into the journey. We come to respect and love the mother-son duo for their unprejudiced outlook and their cool-headed survival of matawas (moral police), strict laws, and customs. This book is one of very few based on true events, written from the inside out, that show the Arab side in the Islamic world, a place long held in mystery under the dark images of Western media. The author presents the Saudi culture at that time with a sensitivity to their need to preserve values and traditions in the face of modernity. |
