Ok i have some old comics dating back to 1955 range and have no idea how to figure out what they are worth :confused:.So i come to the family in hopes someone can give me a idea :P.So if you are a collector or have a way to figure out thier value please post here.I will then give you the exact info and pics :gj:.Thanks for any help

Any comic-book stores near you? Depending on how many you have, you can take them all into the store, or take a few samples and a list of the rest if you have a lot...and have someone there check them out. You may want to make an appt to be sure someone knowledgeable is working...but any decent comic-book store will be able to help you out with that.

Go to your local book store they have pricing guides for this kind of stuff..

Some times the stores that sale that stuff will take advantage of you, to try and buy them off if you..

Get one of those books they call them "BECKITS" and get a price from a non-bias source.

umm well i like batman...well not even so much batman...i love the joker! so i read arkham asylum stories and while i was visiting my cousions in philly i found a comic book store with an arkham asylum for like the late 60's haha i got it was only 20 bucks!



Arkham reborn is the series if anyone likes batman villains i HIGHLY SUGGEST IT!

My wife's co-worker has been collecting comic books since he was a young boy. His uncle told him to buy 2 of each. Then he could read one and put the other one away. Well, just last year he sold a few of his "put away" comic books. $1.2 million. He still has books that are worth a ton of money, but he's not sold them.

Be careful who you show these comic books to and watch for anyone wanting to give you a great deal on the books.

These things can be worth a lot of money. Find someone with knowledge to help you. An auctioneer may be the best. They make the most money when your items sell for more.

Good Luck!

I would check ebay for a ballpark esimate of what you are looking to sell. Not saying that these prices are in stone, but it will give you an idea if they are worth something, and how common they are.

1st edition of Superman, rated 9 out of 10 was his biggest dollar amount.

Be aware that the GRADE of commic affects it's worth a lot. If it's a high dollar issue but it has a little bit of wear on it, then it could be worthless. A slight bend in a page or worse, the cover, can turn a $100 comic into a $0.25 comic.

Grading, issue, 1st or 2nd printing, artist on the cover, popularity of the series, etc etc.. all this has to be taken into account as to whether the comic is worth anything or not. Some things that were wildly popular when they were printed are now worthless today because there is no market. Some things are popular today, that weren't popular then.

80s cartoons seem to be making a small comeback. Myself I used to do a lot of comics, but now I stick with GI Joe and Deadpool and nothing else.
