The best way to sell comic books is on eBay. Things to keep in mind.
1. Some issues are more valuable than others, and it's not always the early issues. For example, the first appearance of a popular character is very valuable. So you want to get a price guide. Get this years Overstreet Comic Book price guide from the library. So if your husband has a Uncanny X-men 120 thru 200... Look at those issues in the price guide. Identify issues that are worth more. You may want to sell some key issues separately.
2. Search eBay. You can search for a comic by it's number and see what it sold for on eBay. For example, type in "Uncanny X-men 166". Be sure to look at completed auctions as well as current ones.
3. If comics are not likely to sell for more than $10 individually, then group then in at least 10 issues lots, the same title, in order. So X-men 140 true 150 in one lot.
4. Learn about grading. The grade is the condition that the comic is in. Comics are graded on a well established and relatively simple guidelines. Learn how to grade, you will need to post this in the auction. You don't need to be an expert to grade and sell comics, just be sure to state in your auctions that you are not an expert grader.
5. Be ready to ship comics. You will need good boxes or packaging material. You can use recycled cardboard for this, but make sure that when you ship comics that they remain dry and cannot be bent during shipping.
If you don't want to sell your comics individually or in small lots, you can sell collections by title or the whole lot at once. Make sure to get the price guide from the library so you can get a value on your collection. Keep in mind, that most buyers will be dealers and will try to buy your collection for less than guide. A good sale price, IMO, would be 50% of guide for a collection, assuming you have some popular titles.
The popular and potentially valuable titles from the 70s are super hero titles. Fantastic Four, Batman, X-men, Superman, etc...
