Been buying and selling with Eric for over a year. He works hard to get the best prices for my books and always secures me a fair price on purchases. Honest and trustworthy, certainly one of the best on Facebook!

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about consigning your comic books with us.
You send us your comics (or drop them off locally in the tri-state area). We professionally photograph, list, and market each book to our buyer network. When it sells, we charge a simple flat fee — not a percentage. For example, a book that sells for up to $2,500 has just a $50 flat fee. We handle everything — grading submissions, photography, listing descriptions, buyer communication, and shipping. Check our rates section for the full breakdown.
We accept Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, and Modern Age key issues, CGC and CBCS graded slabs, first appearances, full runs, variant covers, estate collections, and more. We specialize in high-value keys but welcome quality comics from all eras. Not sure if your books qualify? Send us photos for a free appraisal!
Comic values depend on the title, issue number, condition (grade), and current market demand. Key issues featuring first appearances of popular characters can be worth hundreds to thousands of dollars. A CGC 9.8 copy of a hot modern key might sell for 10x what a raw copy sells for. We offer free appraisals — send us photos and we'll give you a market estimate within 24 hours.
Yes! For large collections or if you prefer immediate payment, we make competitive cash offers. For maximum value, we typically recommend consignment, which nets 20–40% more than a direct sale. We'll always give you both options so you can choose what works best for your situation.
We're based in Philadelphia and offer free in-person pickups anywhere in eastern Pennsylvania, South Jersey, and the NYC metro area for collections estimated over $500. For consignors elsewhere in PA, NJ, or NY, ship your comics to us with insurance — we provide prepaid shipping labels for collections over $500 in value. Start with a free photo appraisal by messaging us on Facebook or using our contact form. We regularly travel to comic shows in King of Prussia, Cherry Hill, Manhattan, and Long Island.
Not necessarily! We offer CGC group submission services at discounted rates. In many cases, we can advise whether grading will increase your book's value enough to justify the cost. Some books are worth more raw to the right buyer. We'll give you honest guidance on a case-by-case basis.
Most key issues and graded slabs sell within 7–14 days. Full runs and lots may take 2–4 weeks depending on demand. Hot books — like recent movie/TV tie-ins or trending first appearances — often sell within 24–48 hours. We price competitively based on current market data to move books quickly while maximizing your return.
