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.
