Byrne's She-Hulk is a highlight of his long career: so metatextual, witty writing, lovely art and it just feels like everyone - creators, editorial and readers - were having fun. The Warlord fell away somewhat in quality after Mike Grell left but while it was his title, it was a good read with lovely art. Hamster Vice was a send-up of well-known 1980s tv series "Miami Vice". Definitely an amazing group of comics James, and so good to see someone highlighting a Marvel b/w magazine, one of the most neglected areas of Marvel's output in terms of awareness and interest from those in the hobby. As you say, Conan The Barbarian 1 hardly ever turns up in collections or with dealers, great that you scored a copy.

Cool Tales To Astonish 13 story. I had a chain of comic books stores in the early 90s that went belly up during the 1993/94 comic glut crash that took out many stores. I had about 30,000 comics left over which I started moving on Ebay around the year 2000. I looked at selling the Tales To Astonish 13 but it was only selling for around $12 in Fair condition. I love that cover so I put that book in my poker room which is one half of my split off garage. I hung it up in a bag/board on a wood stud as drywall was never installed. The book hung through the desert elements for around 15 years. I gets pretty hot in that garage during the summer. I used the cover of the book as my Ebay mascot. It was on all my listings at the top. I had no clue of what Groot meant. I never saw Guardians of the Galaxy, still haven't seen it. I had tuned out of the comic book world until recently. Around 2015 I had asked my daughter to help make my Ebay listings better. She said to get rid of the Guardians of the Galaxy tree guy off my listings. My comic book brain came back to life. I went onto Ebay and was floored that the book was going for hundreds of $$ ! I put my trashed copy onto Ebay starting at 1 cent. It went for $600!!!

Also, being raw.. I would def get slabbed to ensure there is zero restoration (especially trimming.. as the ST cover and bottom look off in the video. Hope it works out!!

Awesome strike! I was just going through some really old boxes in my house and found a copy of an old CBG ad my Dad and I put out around 1980. My Dad had marked thru all the books that sold from the ad, and it was only about 5-10% of our total offerings. The one that killed me was a Strange Tales #110 that he had listed as a "FN-", so about the grade of your copy there, and it sold for a whopping $18.00...

Amazing, but I gotta play devil's advocate here. I've been a collector since 1976 of just about everything and one thing that's consistent is rares/keys/ALWAYS GO UP! Coins, comics, cards, etc. The key stuff never crashes ever. I'd suggest KEEPING the keys and selling the lower end stuff. Get those majors graded too. A 5.0 ST 110 will probably be a 10k book in 5 years.

Have you tried looking into a cabinet made by Arcade1up? They have x-men and simpsons like you mentioned. They're easy to move and a very affordable price since they're 3/4 the actual size of the original cabinets. I have the Marvel vs Capcom cabinet and i love it! I hope this helps!

Oh yeah, at $4500 for everything you are going to do VERY well with those books in the approximate grades. Kudos buddy! As far as the fact you spent soo much on the books themselves, it actually makes it difficult to potentially send to CGC have you not thought about using an online auction house? As long as you sell the book through them, they'll cover your grading fees, and keep in mind you'll get 15% off through their dealer account.
