Oooh, good information. I've decided to keep all my trade paperbacks and a handful of others (like my signed Sandman #1 -- I handed the thing to Neil Gaiman when he was at a signing event in town and he started doodling all over the cover in silver paint pen. I nearly had a heart attack. Please somebody tell me that issue is worth more as a result...).

Still, there are some possibly valuable issues I'm planning to sell (e.g., the Dave Sims-written issue of Spawn).

Question: these comics are in no particular order. Should I go to the trouble of sorting them? I could definitely go to the trouble of pulling out what may (or may not) be particularly valuable issues. All said and done, I'm ditching about ten linear feet of comic books, which should be enough to at least get somebody's attention.

The eBay thing sounds nice, but I just don't have time to deal with it. My goal is to unload this stuff. Any thoughts on whether I should haul this around to multiple comic stores and ask them to make bids on it?
