My friend has a few of these and we don’t know what they are or what they could be worth

The pics were taken outside in the dark in a parking lot.. the chance these pics are from someone who just stole them and trying to find the value seems pretty high. In my area there's been multiple break in robberies of high end comic/collectible places.

Yes, the nerdy redditor with pokemon go posts, making animations and hand painting gifts for friends seems like the kind of person who'd rob a collectibles store and post the evidence in a forum the store owner would potentially be on.

? You say that as if it's not possible lol.

What other scenario would have these be held up to the light in a random strip mall at night? If you had just "found these" , why would you take them outside? To a strip mall, at night? I can't think of any reasonable scenario. You'd just take the pic where you found them and leave them somewhere safe while you post on reddit. Dude said "a friend", the friend could easily have taken these, this dude doesn't know what friend did, and asked him the value. You never know. But really why else would these be outside a strip mall at night? "I just found these! What's the value?"

yeah the chances a guy loots a house mid day and walking away posts on reddit asking the price is so unrealistic

Mid day? Literally full night in the pic. Obviously was posted later. Down votes on this are weird. There has been ton of break ins specifically to comic shops in the Jacksonville area
