My low comic count and high dollar value reflects the fact I collect 70s and 80s stuff... and I still haven't put any of my comics in from Marvel Comics, N to Z (which includes a bucket load of New Mutants and Power Man stuff.) __________________ ***Number of Comics - 3371*** ***Current Value - $13,496.29 USD*** | ||||||||||

I still have about 8 comics boxes that are packed to put in (I slackened off!!) so that total will go up by about 1000 in the next few weeks. __________________ ***Number of Comics - 3371*** ***Current Value - $13,496.29 USD*** | ||||||||||

We don't have a local producer of them in Australia, as far as I know, so we have import duty and shipping attached to ours!! __________________ ***Number of Comics - 3371*** ***Current Value - $13,496.29 USD*** | ||||||||||

According to Overstreet pricing, I believe the Current Value amount to inflated. For example My Avengers #2 probably grades at a GD in which SMC has a value of $129.50 while the 2010 Overstreet Price Guide value a GD at $75.00. My #4 is probably a VG: SMC value $487.50; OPG $262.00 | ||||||||||

Admin Group  Joined: 01 March 2006 | you can enter the NM price the rest of the grades are
calculated by a formula. and yes you can go to the issue page, and click on the current price and update it. __________________ Igor Nikitenko StashMyComics.com webmaster@stashmycomics.com | ||||||||||

I need to still put in 5 or 6 long boxes, but also need to adjust the grade on a good amount of my books. So while one number will go up, another will go down

Yeah, mines a tiny thing at the moment, but I JUST got out of an ice cold swimming pool. No, REALLY!  My collection? Yeah, figuratively speaking, it wouldn't be hired for a career in porn either, but please keep in mind that I've only been back in the hobby for just a year now. So, I'm not doing too bad considering that & the fact that I'm working with a somewhat limited budget. Now, if we went back about 31 years & we looked at the collection that I had at 18, we'd have somewhere between 3000-3500 more comics to figure in. Including full & near full runs of ASM, THE AVENGERS, FANTASTIC FOUR, DAREDEVIL, THE X-MEN & quite a few others. All of which I'd put together since I'd begun to seriously collect at 10. With a big helping hand from my parents, of course. Unfortunately, as I lamented in this forum elsewhere, I sold off that wonderful collection for pennies on the dollar in a moment of TERRIBLE stupidity. So, I went three decades before beginning to collect again last June. And, I'm having more fun & experiencing more satisfaction with each comic & collecting supply that I purchase than I ever recall having as a kid.  __________________ Jim | ||||||||||

At my LCS i pay $9 for a long, $5 for a magazine, and $4.50 for a small (At least that is what i think it is[I have not bought one in months][going to buy one soon though, i have about 400 comics and no more space for them])...I buy small ones,[no space for long boxes at my house] And one time they gave me a magazine box it is just wider so i put them in a row and also sideways (i dont lay them down flat,it can ruin the bottom one) | ||||||||||

Since I cannot accurately recall how much I paid for my comics over the years, I have entered them all at newsstand price. | ||||||||||

| Senior Member Joined: 18 January 2010 | Nah, I have a pc. Currently a netbook, but I'm always using
different computers, and they all do the same thing. Ah well! I should mention that most of my comics are also entered at newsstand price. Since I've bought a huge chunk of my collection at conventions or sales, I didn't actually pay that for a lot of them. Speaking of which...I've gotta go add this year's convention finds to my stash! __________________ -Chemist52 Do not meddle in the affairs of chemists, for you are carbon based and will dissolve. | ||||||||||

| Groupie Joined: 31 March 2011 | chemist52 wroteSweet! Which con did you go to? I was just at Wizard World this weekend in Philly :D I attended a very small convention that is held in a meeting room or small ball room of a hotel close to where I live. The convention has the same dealers, and is held 3-4 times a year. The dealer I go to sells his comics for a dollar each, or 50 for $20. His comics are all in long boxes, and if you want to buy one completely full, it'll cost you $110. |
and the bought price isn't right, I bought a collection several years ago that had a chunk of my current collection.
