She's been nothing but nice to everyone.

 

[jack]

I know, she's such a sweetheart.

I’m not Reggie, she just ignores me to much out here

yeah that bullwinkle & rocky comic was cheap when i bought it @jack

 

[Joe]

$10-20?

 

[Joe]

i shoulda snagged those older issues from the 1960s eh. They are worth a lot more.

 

[Joe]

Original art from those 2 characters sells for a lot too.

 

[Joe]

They are one of those older characters which have grown in popularity in recent years while others have died out & become less relevant

 

[jack]

20 bucks is cool joe. 250 easy back on that and its unique enough that if you wrote the description right and graded it to a T you'd see even more.

 

[jack]

you might also consider slabbing it.

 

[Joe]

I think original comic book & animation art is seriously undervalued @ jack

 

[Joe]

i try to avoid slabbing comicd anymore

 

[jack]

see those charltons were produced poorly, so if yours is really NM it could net you $$$$

What's the point in collecting things that will perish eventually? I never saw the logic in it unless it's carved crystal or glass based. Everything else will one day be returned to dust.

 

[Joe]

i suppose if its for conservation purposes and the item is extremely rare dnd fragile or unique it makes sense

 

[Joe]

i collect gold @Frood. because it never decays.

 

[jack]

I have a piece by trina from the 1976 san diego comicon. Its of tiger girl. I paid her 5 bucks for it, and its probably woth 2500 currently.

 

[Frood]

So digitize it and record it on gold....

 

[jack]

Trina was the first female UG cartoonist and she started a whole movement. She drew some wonder womans for DC before she died.

Ephemera (paper perishables) can be quite lucrative if you're lucky enough to recognize the value in what others would throw away.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I once found an old $5 bill in an old book that I sold for a little over $4k.

 

[jack]

Ive been turning my keys here and there. I have a Superman #2 but it's pretty ragged out. Still thats worth somewhere around 20k

 

[Frood]

When the Annunaki eventually return and steal your gold data copy of all your comic books, they might upload it to tgeir databases before using the gold for their atmosphere....

 

[jack]

Ive been collecting comics since I bought my first spider-man off the stands. #14 I think it was. 1st Green Goblin.

 

[Joe]

old paper money is extremely valuable these days Reggie.

 

[Reggie_Essent]

I've also made some coin on old revenue stamps. An obscure market to be sure, but a market with collectors willing to pay Biggly dollars.

 

[jack]

that one is sick to sell if you have one.

 

[Joe]

if you slab seal & put it behind glass maybe its the only way to preserve it for generations

 

[jack]

I did stamps for a little bit, but I'm a comic collecter/dealer. I have about 300 "keys" still and a few lomg boxes wth some decent stuff.
