Make a List of your Collection

 Big or small, if you own a comic book collection, the first thing you should always do is to make a list of your comic book collection. Even before you decide to sell your comic book collection, it is crucial to know the details of your collection. All comic book collectors have complete records of what they have. It is one of the best practices to have a list of what your entire comic book collection. This also helps buyers to know what they are getting and access its overall value.

Sell your comic book collection for Top Dollar!

Arrange Everything in Order

Try to sort your collection according to series and edition number. This is a good idea because customers will most likely go through your stack and find your collection very tempting if they see everything ordered nicely.

Know Your Collection’s Condition

Another rule of thumb for comic books is “Condition determines value”. Nobody wants to buy something in bad condition. Comic book collectors take pride in the conditions of their collections. Everyone wants the best for their collectibles. ‘Mint’ condition comics are definitely not worth the same as ‘near mint’.  

Pack them Properly

Plastic bags and boards can be bought in bulk from any local stationery store. Pack your comics in plastic bags and boards so they look more presentable. This also helps to show buyers how much you care for your comics. It also increased the chances of getting a better price for your entire comics. However, boards make any tears and turn apparent. If you have taken good care of your comic books, packing them in bags and boards will allow buyers to see how much you care.

Time it Right

Finding the right time to sell is one of the most important steps to selling your comic books for top dollar. Comic book prices and movies are proportional. The prices of relevant comic books increase as soon as a new movie is in theaters, or a video game is announced. It is a wise decision to always consider selling your collection when a film hits the theaters.

Personalize Your Sale

When it comes to getting the most value out of your comic book collection, always take high-quality pictures of your collection. Pictures speak louder than words! Comic collections are personal. Good pictures increase the chances of selling your collection as the buyers know what they can expect. High-quality photos allow the seller to form a bond with the comics well before they see them in person.

Choose where to sell

Choosing the right selling platform helps you reach out to relevant buyers. However, selling your comic book one by one will help you get the most out of your collection. You can try to sell your entire collection at once, but it does limit your chances of getting the most out of it. This is because buyers will always try to lowball you into acquiring your entire collection.

            You can try to sell your collection individually on eBay, but it also has a risk. What if you don’t find the right buyer? or you don’t get a decent offer? What if it is the wrong time to sell? How much would it take to ship? For example, if your collection has 1000 books, how much effort would it take to sell them individually?  There is so much work involved with a lot of risk,

Or you could sell to Sparkle City Comics. Easy as 1-2-3!
