1. Exploring the Vault: Beyond Standard Comic Book Collections
When people hear the name Sell My Comix, they often assume we strictly deal in single-issue comic books, graphic novels, and key CGC-graded issues. While comic books remain central to our business, our office vault contains a much richer tapestry of entertainment history.
From silver-screen prop accessories to original mid-century promotional items, we seek out items that carry historic weight, clear provenance, and timeless appeal for collectors.
2. Rare Superhero History: Authentic George Reeves Autographed Photo
One of the most cherished pieces in our office showcase is an original black-and-white photograph of George Reeves, the legendary actor who defined the role of Superman for a generation in the 1950s.
This piece carries unique family history and provenance: a close relative of ours personally knew George Reeves, who signed this photo directly for him. Authentic 1950s superhero autographs with verified personal history represent the exact tier of pop culture heritage we love to acquire.
3. Hollywood Royalty: George Barris Custom Cars & Batmobile Memorabilia
For fans of classic television and custom automotive design, few names stand higher than George Barris. Barris was the creative force behind some of the most recognizable vehicles in television history, including the Munstermobile and the 1960s TV Batmobile.
To explore more about his incredible automotive legacy, you can visit George Barris’ official legacy site (barris.com).
Throughout his career, Barris crafted several official versions of the Batmobile for promotional events and public appearances. In our collection, we hold a truly unique artifact: an original key to Batmobile #6, complete with a custom display frame.
