Comic book prices and Comic book values, what are yours worth?

Many of us have stacks of the best comic books in our homes, whether they be stored in order in our bedroom or stashed away in your parent’s attic. But have you ever about comic book values?

Of course, there are some basics to determining comic book prices. These include:

        -          Stationary marks,
        -          Wears and tears
        -          Bended pages
        -          Missing Pages

These all lower the value much more than you may realize. Even a comic that has never been opened is not as valuable as a comic that is still in its original packaging.

See, comic book collectors don’t always want the comics just to read, they want it to complete their collection, and no collection can really be completed if only one comic isn’t in its package.

So why should you care about collectors if comic books can be sold quicker at a comic book store? It’s because comic book values are in the eye of the beholder. A storefront will want your comic so that they can sell it and make a profit. A collector actually needs your comic specifically. Unlike storefronts, they won’t settle for any other comics, and are prepared to lose money on the purchase. Ebay and http://www.comicbookclassifieds.com/ are examples of places you go to help collectors find you.


Just remember, research your comic book values! There is nothing worse than selling your comics at a local comic book store, then finding someone else is willing to pay more than double.
