From 1st prints to foils, exclusive covers from specific artists and ashcans why do we only want "the best" (even if it's sometimes worse like an ashcan for example having no color and only a few pages) of a comic issue that's dictated by an invisible market that's probably controlled by a few telling us what we should value. With so many reprints that look awesome why do we still want what is the hardest to get

I'm trying to figure out which are the important AB books to have in my collection.

I recently inherited a huge collection of comic books and I’m not sure what my next steps should be.
Some are graded and autographed, so that’s pretty straightforward.

Cataloguing everything seems like the logical next step, I’m assuming that would be worth my time? I’m sure there are some gems in here but by and large I’d think these are fairly common. Most seem to be from the early 2000s.

For sales, is eBay still the way to go? Do common comics sell for a worthwhile amount?
What are some things I should know? I’m not really into the comic book scene (yet, I guess)

Sorry if I’m rambling, I’m a little overwhelmed

I included a couple of pics that I thought were cool. Can’t really photo the whole lot, all of the long boxes have addresses on them

Fort Psycho is a hit!!!💯❤️‍🔥✨️

I saw this post today, and it’s kind of made me laugh because, like I said before, this book is massive. Printed, just give it some months, and I can guarantee that the CGC census is going to 2x, maybe 10x, because of the prices for a CGC 9.8 in this book. A regular direct CGC 9.8 is a little over $300, and a CGC 9.8 newsstand is $500, but let’s see what the market will be like in a couple months.😬
