Other than the obvious personal, nostalgic and symbolistic worth to a collector, (we all know WHY you collect,:) - What is a full run of USA Disneys worth monetarily speaking? For example the main runs....: WDC&S, Donald Duck or Uncle Scrooge - say in very good to mint condtion on your average window of non-graded books. Are there a lot of full runs being kept up to the present? I guess, WDC&S would be the hardest to attain, putting the $ amount higher, but am just curious.....How many of you out there have a full USA run of any of these and what is the going rate? (I have never seen a full set of anything listed for sale in all my years.) Thanks.

I guess I could rephrase my query as maybe just to what one of these sets were worth monetarily in it's completion. Mostly out of curiousity as I have not been able to find anyone with a full run of anything to refer to. I have a full set of Uncle Scrooge 1-373 and US Adventures 1-54, along with a ton of one-shot US singles and trades...I'd like to insure them. Other than going back to price them all for what I paid for individually, (because that info is not in the old memory bank!) I was kind of looking for someone else with a crutch to base my own assumptions on.....as well as being curious if anyone out there has full runs. It is interesting to see what makes up the drive and passion of a person to go after a full run. I always told my wife I was glad I was never interested in Spiderman or Batman...It is nearly impossible to complete those collections as you would need a second mortgage, and then some just for the first few years of books!

Morequack you are so lucky to have all of those Disney Comics Issues. The only complete series that I have out of all the ones you mentioned is The Adventurous Uncle Scrooge McDuck.

I can't check the auction as I'm at work and we have a web-blocker on certain sites(go figure!), but no, I'm not selling anything....I'll have to check it when I get home. I am just in process of upgrading my issues...I do have the full run of Scrooge #1-374.....but about 40 of them need upgraded from fair to better tho! That's the name of the game.

From my experience the best deals (when you are the buyer) is when you buy a whole lot of comics. If you intend to sell comics on the other hand, it may be better to sell them one at a time. Of course, selling comics in such a way also takes a lot of time (so economically the time you are wasting finding a buyer for every item may be equal to the money you are supposedly saving :) ).

You'd have to take out a second mortgage to afford to plunk down 12 big ones on the spot like this seller is asking for this comic book collection. And I think I'd have to fly out to Kentucky to see the collection first-hand rather than buying it willy-nilly and having it shipped to me. I shudder to think what could happen during shipping! I've generally had great experiences on Ebay but I wouldn't take a chance with that kind of $$.
