This is what I posted previously about this topic:

> I had about 1000 from the mid-80s through mid-90s. I contacted a couple online buyers and they were not interested in the majority of them. I decided to pare it down by dropping a half dozen at a time in the many of the little libraries we would come upon out on long walks. Over a couple years I dropped down to about 200 I am keeping including all of Wolverine 1 - 85.

I don’t think many comics from this period are worth much but maybe the early 80s are more? At some point I’ll decide I never want to move them again and figure out what to do with them. They are in great condition…mostly all read once and then packaged.
