RARE FINDS:
Top Ten Books We NEVER See in Collections (and We See LOTS of Collections)

Hi

Here at Sell My Comic Books, we typically spend between $30,000 and $60,000 per month on vintage comic book collections.

Thousands of comic books come into the office every week. (Have you seen our awesome YouTube Unboxing videos?)

We thought it would be interesting to highlight the Top Ten books we NEVER see in collections... including not only all the ones we buy, but all the thousands of lists I check out and reject!

Click on any image to search for them on eBay (good luck with that!).
