Great pointers. I only send to cgc something that is at least $200-$300. Anything less is really not worth it. Good point about high end books.
I’ve been to Nuke Ems a few times and visited you today. I’ll be back to both of you. Love those Fawcett books! :D
Agree 100% on what you said on certain artists. I don’t collect anyone specially but if I see a njce cover priced right by someone like Ross, hughes, etc that’s a $5-15 buy I make on impulse all the time.
Great video James and very helpful. I'm starting to unload some of my 17,000 plus collection in order to fund getting some bigger keys and these tips help! I'll be in Jersey next month for a few weeks and will definitely stop by your shop. Me and a buddy of mine have bought from your claim sales before and would love to meet you at some point!
Great advice.
Good tips for both advanced and newer collectors such as myself. It is always good to ground yourself and not end up in a bad financial situation.
Appreciated this video. Thank you
Variant covers - I would only buy a variant cover if it was a key issue AND IF the variant cover featured a first appearance of some new character(s) in which cover A may not feature.
This would be for speculation.
Awesome video, love the new editing (if it is not new, I apologize). I would say that signature books definitely don't move as well for me, and I was happy to see you call out some artists names that move crazy quick. I'd also point out that some books just deserve to be graded if they are above a five or so, mainly books prior to 1965 in common character runs. Love your content and have for at least a year. Congrats on the new child and I wish you and your wife the best.
You would think a hot comic with say, 5 signatures would be a hot seller. But think of the cost for those signatures. If you wind up discounting the book because it's not moving you can lose a lot.
Yeah that's why I only do this for personal collection. When they do leave my collection I'll be gone so anything they sell for will be a gain to my fam. The joy of meeting the creators is awesome for me
@@T-RexSuplex1. The signatures should just be a souvenir of meeting the person, I don’t see any value in it if I didn’t get them. What connection do I have to someone scribbling on the comic if I am not there. If I get something signed, it’s a low value book.
@robertt9342 I understand that and I feel the same way to an extent. Whether a sig should or shouldn't add value is up to.the buyer and most times they pay a bit higher specially for hard to get sig like a John Byrne and now cgc verifies sig it could get wild. But again I just do it for me and mt PC.
Agreed on the witnessed sigs. Sucks any fun right out of the show too, if youre in person.
James dropping gems over here 💎 🙏
Awesome video! Very good tips for selling comics.
Fantastic advice! Alas, I have a few books that despite having "high value" (for me at least, I'm talking $500-$1,000), I'm concerned about their liquidity. Time will tell!
Indeed have several $250-700 books that just WONT. MOVE.
Love your content! Been here for years! I subscribe on my other RUclips channels, but trying a new comic channel so I'll hit the like from here too! Appreciate ya!
Agreed on sending everything in to get graded.....most people will not chase 9.8s.
This was a great video, thank you for sharing your insights. The one thing I discovered selling books is that like you stated certain books do sell just off the cover artist alone even if it is a non key. But what I also discovered is certain books tend to sell more than others, for example I normally don't have a problem selling Spider-Man or Star Wars books (especially the Star Wars books) those just tend to always sell. The other thing I also noticed is that some times what helps you sell is complete sets over individually listed books. I had a bunch of Star Wars the High Republic books that were not selling and then I started making lots (like an issues 1-15 set) and they started getting a lot of views and individuals watching them and then they were selling pretty quickly. Thanks again for the great content.
I learned the hard way that store exclusives don’t sell 😂I normally try and get rid of them as soon as I get them, however I will keep them if i love the art
I’ve really clamped down on signature series submissions for the reasons you listed. It narrows the market for the book too much, and it’s made it harder for me to move certain books that probably would have done much better raw or as blue label slabs.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
I'm that guy, I'm that guy using his gaming monitors and had all his bids open that were a few seconds apart. ..... hate it but can't let the dopamine go
Great video James, my question for you is that I have 5 short boxes of keys and iconic covers and only about 10 books are graded and I would to grade all my keys but I feel like it's a waste of money cause I could use that money to get more books plus CGC keeps raising there prices which doesn't help.
Nice vid. Keep up the good work. Hope to catch you at a con sometime. Just missed you at Back Porch.
Jonah Hex’s what hole?
Re hot variants. The value goes up before the book is even released. Everyplace i know sells out before release. Whete are you getting your variants?
You said "in a world where the average comic is worth 10 cents" --- That should be your key message right there. Some comics are worth more as kindling than as a collectible.
Just say you're really looking for the first appearance of Jonah Hex's starfish... we won't judge.
You got me!
the only way I was able to make it this far selling comic books was me staying away from the 1:100 1:50 1:25 the farthest I go is the 1:25 and that’s it
CONGRATS ON YOUR SON!
I love variants. But, holy moly, some of them are crazily expensive. I just buy them to have them. And I usually have a limit on what i spend per book.
The goat
What did you recommend for a beginner starting comic books? Business older or newer comic book
omg that intro
Only way you win on a book like that signed man thing is if you score it for a bargain. I had a similar book was a 9.8 run filler but because I got for cheap enough I was happy to sell for the profit I did (spent $70 all in and because it got the 9.8, I was happy with $400 even if it was maybe worth a bit more technicaally)

What are claim sales?
Anything I get signed is for my PC. Best way to not get feelings hurt
good video, bro. nice work. #IWANTOCAPTAINCARROTPLEASE
4:25 - "you can send in your (pre-signed) books, and it costs a lot less." Can you clarify that statement? Presently, if you have a pre-signed book and you send it in the CGC/JSA for grading and verification, it's $25 for the signature and another $25 for the grading of the book (assuming a modern book). But, if you get a witnessed signature on that modern book, it's only $45 for the witnessing and grading.
Most witness signature series cost a total of between $75 and $200 - compare that to $45 and I'd say that's a steal
Your asking $2k for Astonishing Tales #13 9.8 signed? Last sale for the book in 9.8 unsigned was $1580 in 2022 at the height of the boom. You think the signature is worth 500+???
I would think the new price would be lower as books have dropped over the past year. $2000 does seem high but it also depends what James has into it.
I would think that it depends on who it is signed by. Roy Thomas (one of the co-creators of man-thing) signed this book. In my opinion, it gives it historical significance, especially since it is the only one in existence. Pretty cool if you ask me, but I think it speaks to exactly what James is conveying in this video. If you limit yourself to only those collectors of a very specific character, genre, artist, or title you're going to be holding onto that book for a long time.
Much respect on this video! You’re always putting out quality content and just content that can better the community rather than putting out false narratives like a lot of these other “content creators” keep up the great work!
Good vid. To the point and so true.
Great point James- there are big books and big books everybody wants...
I think the name Man-Thing in itself is a reason why the comic doesn't sell.
I like the character and think it is one of Marvels most original creations. Having said that i think they should give him a new name that rings true with the modern age like;... err...
Gender fluid swamp guy?
Good advice. Thanks.
You bet!
Dude, love your videos. I'm trying to make this hobby pay for itself, or at least create an offset for taxes in my LLC. ;-)
I'm getting out of comics and I'm selling all my raws on eBay (gave you that Harley Quinn to kickstart me)...any advice on how 5o price/sell them? #RawDawgComiks
Sell em to me! Lol
Signatures? Not for me...
1st off butt-hole eh?!?!. Haha. But anyways, I may get roasted for this one but I don't get the Skottie Young hype. It looks like it's for elementary school kids. Just saying. Love the video as always my dude
Question. I have a coverless Detective Comics 168. Would you slab it? It has all the pages
You say you would “swing” for this comic or that comic, but I don’t think swinging while your wife is pregnant is very cool, man. Try to hold it together!
Rip them in half and double your money
BRILLIANT!!
Great advice.
How do u feel about celebrity sigs on comics?
@@coreymcneal9924 Are you asking me? I don't care about them at all. I'm just a casual collector and buy very few books these days.
