Ah, Yorkshire—the land of stunning landscapes, rich history, and, as we recently discovered, jaw-dropping comic book collections. This time, Fantasy Road hit the jackpot in the rolling hills of God’s own county with a modern-age comic haul that left us grinning like kids on Christmas morning. If you’re sitting on a collection of comics you’re itching to sell (or even just mildly considering it), pull up a chair. Let’s talk about how we struck gold with this Yorkshire treasure trove—and why you should be the next to give us a call when you’re thinking, “I want to sell comics.”
Yorkshire’s Hidden Comic Gems
When we got the call about a “pretty decent” collection in Yorkshire, we weren’t expecting anything too extraordinary. Modern-age comics? Sure, we’re always up for a bit of Spider-Man, Batman, or Deadpool action. But when we opened the boxes, it was like finding buried treasure. This wasn’t just any modern-age collection; it was a curated gallery of rare variants, retailer incentives, and convention exclusives that would make any comic fan weak in the knees.
We’re talking foil covers, 1:500 ratio variants, and those elusive San Diego Comic-Con exclusives you could only grab if you elbowed your way past a throng of cosplayers. Every box we opened felt like hitting a jackpot on a nerdy slot machine.
The Highlights of the Collection
Let’s break down some of the standout issues from this haul:
1. Spider-Gwen #1 (NYCC Exclusive Variant)
Spider-Gwen continues to swing her way into the hearts of collectors, and this variant cover is like catnip to fans. The art was stunning, and the rarity factor? Off the charts.
2. Batman #50 (Foil Variant)
You know a comic’s big when it’s hyped as the wedding of Batman and Catwoman. Spoiler: It didn’t go as planned, but this shimmering foil cover variant is still a massive win for collectors.
3. Walking Dead #100 (Lucille Variant)
Negan fans, rejoice. This exclusive cover, featuring that infamous baseball bat, is one of the most sought-after pieces from The Walking Dead saga.
4. X-Men #1 (J. Scott Campbell SDCC Exclusive)
Every X-Men fan dreams of owning a J. Scott Campbell cover, and this SDCC exclusive was a crown jewel in the collection. It practically screamed, “Mutant and proud!”
5. Venom #3 (Third Print, Knull Cover)
Knull fever is still running wild, and this third-print variant featuring the dark symbiote god is worth its weight in gold—or symbiotes.
Why Rare Variants and Exclusives Are a Big Deal
The thing about rare variants and convention exclusives is that they’re not just comics—they’re collectibles. They hold immense value in the comic book world, not just for their artwork but also for their scarcity. If you’ve got similar comics lying around, you could be sitting on a small fortune.
