Photograph the boxes, the oldest covers, and any graded labels. Ten minutes, tops. No cataloging, no spreadsheets.

2

Send

Through the form below, or just text them to (202) 734-8071. We comp your books against real recent sales — eBay solds and graded-sale records — and reply within 48 hours with numbers, not vibes.

Get paid

Accept, and we handle the rest: local pickup, or insured shipping on our dime. Check, PayPal, Zelle, or wire — the day your books arrive.

You ship nothing until you've accepted an offer. No fees, no obligation — and if selling isn't your best move, we'll tell you that too.

Straight talk about what it's worth

80–90%of a collection's value usually sits in 10–20% of the books.

Early issues of long-running titles, first appearances of characters you know from the movies, and anything already graded — that's where the money lives. Comics from the early '90s were printed by the millions: polybagged Superman #75s and chromium covers bring a few dollars each, no matter what a 1995 price guide promised.

We'll always show you which books drive our offer — with the comparable sales behind the number — so you know exactly what you're selling and why.

What we buy

Key issues

First appearances, origins, classic covers — any era, almost any condition.

Vintage runs

Golden, Silver, Bronze & Copper Age (roughly 1938–1991), from single books to complete runs.

CGC & CBCS slabs

The label tells us exactly what you have — graded books get our fastest, strongest offers.

Whole collections

The notable books and the boxes of everyday issues that come with them. One simple all-in offer.

Inherited collections

Don't know where to start? Start here. We'll identify what matters, explain the value, and lay out your options — selling to us is only one of them.

Pokémon cards

Raw and graded, English and Japanese — we buy card collections too.

Big collection? We'll come to you.

For the right collection, we travel — across town or across the country. Several long boxes, a full estate, a shop's back stock: if it's substantial, don't worry about how it gets to us. We come to it.

And "we handle it" means all of it. We arrive with supplies, pack every box, do the lifting and the loading, and move everything out under insured transport. You're paid on the spot before we pull away, and the room is left broom-clean.

Start with photos — the form below or a text to (202) 734-8071. If it's a fit, we'll schedule a walkthrough and set a date.

We reply to every submission within 48 hours. Your photos and details are used only to prepare your appraisal.

Common questions

How much will you pay for my collection?

It depends on what's in it. For sought-after key issues and graded books, offers are a strong percentage of current market value based on recent verified sales. Mid-grade vintage books price lower, and common modern issues are bought in bulk by the box. We'll always show you the comparable sales behind our number.

Do you buy whole collections, or just cherry-pick the keys?

Both. We prefer whole collections and will make an all-in offer, but if you only want to sell specific books, that's fine too.

I inherited a comic collection. Where do I start?

Right here — this is one of the most common situations we help with. Send photos of whatever you can, even just boxes on shelves. We'll identify what matters, explain what it's worth, and lay out your options with no obligation to sell to us.

Can I just talk to a person instead of filling out a form?

Absolutely. Call or text (202) 734-8071 — texting a few photos is usually the fastest route to a real number. And for larger or inherited collections, we're happy to set up a 30-minute video walkthrough once we've seen what you have.

How big does a collection need to be for you to travel?

There's no hard cutoff — what's in the boxes matters as much as how many there are. As a rule of thumb: multiple long boxes, meaningful vintage or graded material, or a full estate is worth a conversation. Send photos and we'll tell you straight whether it's a trip we'd make.

Are my 1990s comics valuable?

Usually not individually — print runs were enormous. There are exceptions (certain first appearances and low-print variants), and we'll flag them if you have any. The rest still has bulk value as part of a full-collection sale.

Should I get my comics graded before selling?

Usually no — grading costs $30+ per book and takes months. If a book merits grading, we price that upside into our offer. Already-graded books are even easier: the label tells us exactly what you have.

How does payment and delivery work?

Once you accept an offer: local collections we pick up in person and pay on the spot. For larger collections, we'll travel to you — we pack, lift, load, and move everything ourselves, fully insured. Smaller collections farther away get prepaid, insured shipping materials, with payment the day the books arrive — by check, PayPal, Zelle, or bank transfer.
