200 Year Old Comics


Here is another absolutely huge comic book auction. It's an auction of many complete runs and full sets of titles. The likes of this you probably won't see again! The downside is that you will need a small fortune to even enter the auction as it has had an incredible 138 bids already, reaching $110,100. I'd wager that it will go much, much higher as even one Donald Duck comic went for sold for $4049.00 recently .

Almost everything is in here from the usual suspects like Batman and Superman, to lesser known characters like Plastic man and Marvel Boy. Some of them are very old specimens while others have had famous owners (Bob Kane, Stan Lee, Jerry Siegel
).

The seller of the comics obviously knows their stuff; there is so much detailed information in the auction listing that it can only be a labour of love.

At the time of writing this post the end of bidding is still over 3 days away, so watch this space.
*Edit: 148 bids and upto $150,000 now
