thank you sb that also solves the mystery of who made this one.

 

I bought an 18 gallon tote full of comic books for 25$ haven't had time to look through them but the 1st one I pulled out and looked up Batman Adventures #12 even with the moisture warp/ condition at the bottom probably will bring $300 +

 

Major score!

 

This wire wrapped glass lamp for $4 - will be posting over in the glass thread.

 

awesome score, let me know what you have i know all the key issues , i have over 400 comics ,dating back to the 30's and 40's but mostly 70's and up , i don't read them ,just collecting. this one is autographed by stanley in 1986.

to get the big bucks you have to have them graded by either cgc , or pcg

 

find say hulk 181 is the first appearance of wolverine , worth big bucks, and look for number 1 first editions , they are worth the most , and bag and board them .

 

great score Tauriels I love getting comics!

aaron, thanks for the info this was my first comic book purchase... I have no idea where to start, this one has sold on ebay for $800+ w/9.7 grade and then down from there. lloyd, I will definitely check out your thread! I need to find out about what having them graded entails and have the best ones graded for sure!

 

you should look for a The Walking Dead #1,

 

that's the only reason i don't get mine graded ,from what i can gather you have to buy their membership first , and then pay a rate depending n the comics value and how many at a time you want to do ,www.cgccomics.com

 

grading them seems a little risky... what venue do you use to sell? if ebay I might just provide very good photos and let the bidders hash it out??

 

go and watch some YouTube vids on comic grading , some say they are crooked , but the comic and case always goes out of view of the camera for just one second , it's enough to switch it IMO , and also i have a lot of mint ,never read (bagged and boarded ,right after i bought them) , if i send them a valuable comic ,who's to say they couldn't switch it and send me a lower grade , there is no way to prove it now that it is sealed up forever .

 

This is a very good site for info! http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tips-successfully-selling-comic-book-collection/

 

i have never sold one lol i only collect and when i pass they will be given to my son shane , i have a lot of figurines also , i just bought some the other day at the thrift shop, old ,and still in their packages , $4 each, 22 all together will take a pick tomorrow , iPhone pics won't go , not screwing with it tonight lol

 

Those shaped bottles - the Etrusca ones - are basically Empoli made. Town that's home to masses of glass factories, producing both industrial and art stuff. All those huge 1960s brandy glasses, for example.

 

I did a little digging today and found ... I know how to waste gasoline.(LOL)
