Do you want to know if your comic book is worth some real money?<\/p>\n
Maybe you’ve acquired a book from a relative, found a comic in an attic, flea market, estate sale, garage sale or while cleaning out the house? Is there a quick way to decide whether it is valuable or not?<\/p>\n
While no list is exhaustive, in this article I’ll give you some things to look for that may point to some real comic book treasure!<\/p>\n
Here’s the list:<\/p>\n

If you have a comic from the 1940’s to the 1970’s, there is a fairly good chance it is worth something<\/p>\n First Appearances or Origin Issues<\/strong> – First Superman? Action Comics 1. First Batman? Detective Comics #27. First Spider-man? Amazing Fantasy #15. See the trend here? The first issue of a comic book is not always the first appearance of the character. You may be holding a comic that looks worthless but actually holds a lot of value! Make sure you check the price guides (as a research tool) to see if the comic book is historically important.<\/p>\n Big Name Artist<\/strong> – Big name artists also can bring in big bucks. Their first artwork and also their “runs” in specific titles can be worth more than the surrounding issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you want to know if your comic book is worth some real money?
