About the Comic Collections | ||
Comic books offered on this website are from a family collection of Golden Age and Silver Age comics - dating from the late 1940’s to early 1960’s. These books were stored for over 40 years, until they become part of an estate inheritance. The full collection contains over 600 comics, which have been organized in to groups based on the type of comics each contain. The first 7 groups totaling 350 comics are now available, and may be viewed from the links below. Additional groups will follow until the entire collection is online. The collection includes comics from a variety of authors and publishing houses, including cartoon characters from Walt Disney, Walter Lantz, MGM, Warner Brothers, and other. Among the different collections can be found highly disired collectors editions such Batman #61, #68, #73; Superman #76, #84; Green Lantern #25, Lois Lane #1 Brave & the Bold #1, and 4 color editions of "Uncle Scrooge and "Donald Duck" by famed Disney author Carl Bark. The collection has not been professionally graded, but most of the comics are in good to excellent condition. As more from the collection are catalogued and organized into groups by character titles, notes are being added regarding any substantial defects observed, and hi-resolution cover scans are included in the detailed view of each comic. Individual comics will not be sold separately, unless some are found to be of extraordinary value, in which case they will be sold in a separate offering. As each group of comics is completed in the database, it will be added to this page and offered for sale to the highest bidder. After each group has been listed here, it will also be offered through an eBay auction, and links to the auction pages will be added to the group information page on this website. Until the eBay auction begins, bids can be made by contacting the collection owner at (425) 889-2857, or by email to Skip@EmeraldCityTrader.com. Once a high bid meeting the reserve amount is received on eBay, all bidding will then have to proceed through eBay. Anyone wanting to view the collection where it is located in the Seattle area, can make arrangements by contacting the owner at the above phone number or email. |
