Sell your comics
in Rotherham.

Right on my doorstep

Rotherham was built on coal, iron and steel, and you do not have to look far to see it. The old Templeborough steelworks now houses Magna, where The Big Melt still fires up an electric arc furnace for the crowds, and the 15th century Minster is one of the stateliest churches in Yorkshire. Clifton Park has been the town's green heart for generations, and the place even turned out the Chuckle Brothers and Muse's Chris Wolstenholme. Towns with that much industrial history tend to have lofts and garages full of comics that got put away in the good years and never came back out.

Rotherham sits right next to Sheffield, about an hour and three quarters down the A1 from me, and I am over that way regularly.

How it works in Rotherham

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 Rotherham

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.
