I haven't read many since the early-mid 80s until my grandkids started getting interested in them a few years ago. I do have a bunch of #1 issues from those days like Alpha Flight; I have no idea if they're worth anything.

Depends. Alpha Flight doesn't look like it's hot right now but that all changes if a movie or show comes out with their characters in it. Look at Guardians of the Galaxy.

I've also got the #1 issue from when they restarted the Flash with Wally West moving up to being the Flash.

Which volume is that? I'm not too up on the restarts since I stopped buying new issues in 1998 or so.

It was from the mid 80s.

This one? Worth about $15 near mint. Comics from the 1980s haven't really taken off yet but that's how it was for the 1970s comics not too long ago. Bag and board them, and store them carefully and you'll be ready if they hit their stride.

I've got a whole bunch of 80's and 90's comics, most aren't worth much, except maybe the lobo series and some of the older image stuff.

Lobo isn't there yet, I've got a bunch too and the guidebooks are cover price or maybe $1 more. Unless you have his first appearance in Omega Men, which is about $60 at a 9.4 grade.

I think that's it. I'll have to dig through my closet and see exactly what I have.

Just won some auctions on ebay for a bunch of early Fantastic Four, Sgt Fury, and Avengers. The Avengers issue is #9 and is slabbed. First comic I've bought where it's slabbed and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

All these tubs are the Spider-Man, x men, captain America, X factor, hulk, FF, etc.... that I read and kept since early 80's

I guess the hot comics right now are Star Wars #49 (story is called The Last Jedi) and Avengers #9 (first appearance of Wonder Man, who is confirmed to be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy 2).

Do you ever look at CLINK ? They just finished a big comic book auction. They have a few of em a year. Easy place to drop a lot of coin

No I haven't, thanks. So far that site and Comic Connect look like the best sites to sell on apart from ebay.

So any big sales lately @MeatyPortion?
