Looking for info on comics value.

[Adrian]

I have old friend that is in his late 70s. He used to deliver comics to stores. He has a bundle from 1978. They were kept in his dry basement. They are Star Trek "A Bomb in Time" #11358. This is a deliver wrapped stack of 6. Left in dry basement since 1978.
Looking for help to sell them. I would think the 4 in the middle would be mint since they have not seen the light of day.

Any suggestions on who I should contact to help him sell them?

Thanks for any input.

Mile high comics pays by the pound.

They don't care about sob stories.

They are going to sell those books for 25 cents each, so they'll give you less than 5 cents per book.

Looks like a "Very Good" copy of Star Trek #36 goes for ~$10 on MyComicShop: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?q=star+trek+36&pubid=&PubRng=

I don't know what that means yours is worth, or how much a dealer would pay for it.

If the dealer would sell it for 10, then the absolute most they would give is three dollars. Since they might be able to sell at some point in the next 10 years.

Just use ebay.

Maybe there is a fight and too idiots raise the price to 70 dollars, or maybe you spend a year relisting the books, cutting the price incrementally down to 10 cents and still no one wants it.

Of course you go that route, there's sales fees (%10?), and then postage to consider (10 to 20 dollars depending if they are in America or way away.).

What sob story? I was just giving info on the back ground of MINT Comics. They came of the printing press then wrapped in stack of 6 by machine and never opened. The 4 in the middle of the stack have not seen the light of day. The outside ones have not been touched by human hands, I though grade was key.
On ebay they are selling VG+ for $10 bucks. That's 4.5 on the grading scale of 1 to 10.
