Studio work

Origin-run consultation

A sitting with the provenance clerk to map which Avengers origin issues you already hold and which gaps are worth filling before the next drop.

Who it is for

Collectors who have mixed reprint packs, variant covers, and a few origin issues and want a coherent run.

What you leave with

A written gap list: issues to wait for, issues to commission, and issues to leave alone.

Scope

Up to twelve issues reviewed in one sitting, plus a one-page note afterwards.

Included

  • Review of the copies or files you bring
  • A gap list against our origin ledger
  • Advice on edition size versus story completeness

Not included

  • Insurance valuations for a third party
  • Authentication of comics we did not issue
  • Purchase of your copies

How the work proceeds

  1. You send a list of issues and edition numbers.
  2. We sit with the ledger.
  3. You leave with a gap list.

Before you write

Photograph splashes and provenance cards if you cannot bring the paper proofs.

Limits we will not stretch

We comment on origin-issue NFT comics and their paper proofs. We do not grade newsstand Marvel pamphlets from the 1960s as a substitute for a specialist dealer in paper keys.
