When one thinks of terms such as collectible comic books, comic books that are precious or old rare comic books, you are usually thinking of the Golden Age of Comic Books. Starting with Action Comics in 1938 and continuing through the end of World War II, the Golden Age of Comic Books establishes the standard for comic book collecting. Being a Golden Age comic book collector requires patience, money and a willingness to compromise.

I used to just have the ability to decide on an issue in the stands. These days the stands only has magazines; not a comic book in sight. I recall buying an issue of the Flash Infantino/Heck issue here right after viewing the movie Flash Gordon. My Mother, seeing me with the comic book said: "You know the Flash Gordon you saw in the film is not the same as the Flash in that comic book right. Naturally, Mom. I also remember looking at the heavily inked panels purchasing Starlin's Warlock from the racks and, perhaps because I was coming down with something to begin with, I recall I felt sick and dizzy.

The point is, this was one of the shops that filled weaved my geek culture into my life I do not go in the thrift shop anymore there is nothing there for me I just hand my wife some cash and wait for her and the kids to come out while I'm outside I go around at that part of the mall and reminisce there used to be a comic specialty shop on the lower level gone.

Another approach to rank your comics will be to take them to the local comic shop or dealer. In many cases they will grade comics free of charge, but their view should be taken with a pinch of salt. They may try to propose that the comic is in worse condition in order to buy it from you cheaply than it actually is. Not all dealers will do that, but it is still important not to make selections based on their advice alone to protect yourself.

My final method would be to rank your comic books yourself. Without experience of grading, it's difficult to accurately grade comic books. It's hardly difficult to rank your comics higher than they actually are. Having said that, this procedure is relatively easy. It is possible to search the Internet so that as a starting point, your own grading will likely do. For more information please visit http://hzz8.com/
