Sell your comics
in Northallerton.

The county town, and a long way from a comic shop

Northallerton is the county town of North Yorkshire, a proper market town with a long high street and a wide rural catchment around it. That rural spread is the interesting part: there is no comic shop for a considerable distance, so collections here have often never been shown to anybody who knows what they are looking at.

That cuts both ways. Some turn out to be ordinary. Occasionally somebody has been sitting on something genuinely good for thirty years without knowing.

How it works in Northallerton

Northallerton is a comfortable drive and I regularly travel across North Yorkshire for collections.

1. Send photos. Covers and spines are enough to start. If it is a full collection, a photo of each box and a few close-ups of anything you think might matter.
2. I go through them properly. You get an itemised view rather than one number for everything, so you can see which comics carry the value and which do not.
3. You decide. No pressure, no obligation, and no hard feelings if you would rather sell elsewhere or keep them.
4. I collect and pay. Free collection, and payment on the day rather than when something eventually sells.

What I am looking for in Northallerton

Marvel and DC from the 1960s through to the 1990s, key first appearances, complete runs, independent titles and horror. I will also take the ordinary boxes alongside the good stuff, because leaving somebody with four boxes of comics nobody wants is not much of a service.

Not sure whether yours are the ones that matter? The comic values section goes through the most commonly asked about issues, honestly.

Why sell to me rather than a general dealer

Most house clearance firms and general second hand dealers price comics by the box, because they have no way to tell a valuable issue from a common one. That is fine for them and expensive for you. I read these, I sell them, and I know the difference between a first printing and a reprint, and between a newsstand copy and a direct edition.
