You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was thinking that the final JLU ep was sort of their version of BtVS "Restless," with the other two being vaguely reminiscent of "The Yoko Factor" and "Primeval," so it worked for me. And, yes, it did seem like a complete series wrap-up, all the way back to the original Batman series.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So I have a comics question.

Rather randomly, my husband and I seem to have ended up with a fairly rare comic. Not a cool one or anything, but one with a variant cover and low print run. The publisher's website puts the value around $75.00, based on auctions they've seen.

And the question is...what do we do with it? Ebay? Is there another option?

Seal it up in plastic, and keep it forever and ever?

Is it bad of me to just want the money now?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

You can try selling it to a local comic store, but you won't get full value for it.

Yeah, that's my thought. Maybe find out find out what a store would pay, then set that as the reserve on eBay.

There's a message board on the publisher's site, so it definitely seems like there's a market. This sucker is definitely getting e-bayed.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Before you set your price on ebay, here are a couple of steps you may want to take to figure out the price:

1. The "book value" of the issue will be listed in The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, with the most current listing being volume #35. You can probably go to your local comic store and ask to look up the issue in question. This is the price that most back-issue re-sellers start from when determining what they will charge. You should also have an idea of what condition your issue is in - NM (Near-Mint), VF (Very Fine), etc.

2. You may want to check a few online stores to see what they are charging for the issue (it will be higher than the Overstreet price). Mile High Comics is a good place to look.

3. Another good place to A) Price your issue and B) see if it is generally available is Comicspriceguide.com.

Good luck with your sale.

Does Overstreet list comic-related portfolios? I have one for The Crow, from Caliber Press, that was printed in ... '90? '92? Anyway, limited edition, blah-blah-blahdicakes, and I want to sell the thing, but I canNOT find any info on what it might be worth.
