Free Comic Book Appraisals

Want a chance to learn more about your old comic books? Are you interested in their history, significance and potential value? If that sounds like you, then send me an EMAIL, preferably with high resolution scans or photos of the comic you're interested in learning more about and depending on how interesting it is, I might write about it for the site as a featured appraisal. I'll try to answer questions for anyone that sends in any book, but, depending on the volume, I can only guarantee that I'll write properly about books featured on the site.

Some notes:

  • Only books from before 1980, please. Even books from the 1970s have very little chance of making it onto the site, but there are a few that would definitely be interesting to write about so I'll leave the cut-off at 1980.
  • The appraisals are entertainment/informational purposes only – no certifications or exact valuations are given or guaranteed. Since I won't have the books in hand and will be judging condition from a scan, I will only provide informational estimates of condition and therefore value. If, after that, you need an official estimate for insurance purposes or want to get a solid estimate on the book in order to sell it I can put you in touch with someone trusted in your area to do a real appraisal.

    The point of this offer is really to have some fun looking at old comics and educating people about old comics. Hard and fast valuations are for another venue.

  • I need a good sized image- hopefully of the front and back. Scans should be 150-300dpi @100% and photos should be dumped right out of the camera as-is. I need as much detail as possible to judge condition. It's tough enough to estimate condition without the book in hand (so tough it's only a rough estimate and never an official pronouncement of grade.) It's impossible to do it with a small scan.

Thanks

  3. Irena Bird says:

    Hello, I have an original 1945 edition of Little Nemo In Slumberland published by McCay Features Synidicate (two-tone black and brown ink cover with black and white interior pages, reprinting 14 classic Windsor McKay Sunday pages from 1905 to 1911). I was wondering how much it was worth.
    Irena
    Thank you

  4. Rob says:

    Hi Irena, depending on the condition, the book could be worth anywhere from $10-100.

  5. r.david says:

    I have Marvel/DC comic books that range from 15 cents to One Dollar .Can I have a estimate guess on the value or what it can go for in a auction?(example:Peter Parker The Amazing Spider Man,Issue # 50, Price 35)

  6. Rob says:

    hi, if you want to email me a list, I'd be happy to give you a better sense of the book's values. There are books from that range (the prices indicate around 1970 through the 1980s) that could be worth hundreds or thousands or they could all be basically worthless. It really depends on the specific titles and issue numbers + the condition of the books.

  7. Montana Gray says:

    Hello, I was wondering if I could email you a list of some of my comic books and possibly recieve information of some of their values.

  8. Rob says:

    Hi Montana,

    feel free to email me a list, and I can give you general values. After that, if the books warrant it and you're interested, I can put you in touch with someone who can give you a real appraisal (which requires access to the books.)

  13. tasha says:

    hello…i have a detective comics 1958 nov.no.161 where dr. x double appears…any ideas? i need to sell it….

  14. Rob says:

    Hi Tasha,

    Got a scan or a photo? Value on that book would vary greatly depending on condition.

  15. Lacey says:

    Batman featuring " The Two-way Deathtrap" Any idea how much it might be worth? Published in september 1964 No 166. Tha binding is starting to dry rot. and I was just curious.

  16. Rob says:

    Hi Lacey,

    If the spine is falling apart, the book might only be worth a few dollars.

  17. Josh says:

    Hello,

    I have a lot of old comics given to me by my uncle. The only thing is, they are books containing multiple comics. I have The Amazing Spider Man #1-25 I believe in about 5 books published in the late 70's early 80's, any ideas on what they would be worth?

  18. Rob says:

    Hi Josh,

    Got a photo of one of the books? I'm not sure what have.

  19. Tammy says:

    Hello Rob,
    I have a comic book called Tony Wong presents Drunken Fist by Jademan comics. I got this when a Grandpa Pigeon store was closing in the 80's. In fact, I bought several DC and Marvel comics as well (they came in a package called "Super Value Comics" out of print comics special purchases collectible titles packaged in the USA. Some contain one book, the others contain two).
    Anything you can tell me about these?
    Thank you!
    Tammy

  20. Rob says:

    hi Tammy, The Jademan book, while very cool (I read that series as well as several other Jademan books back in the day) is basically worthless as a collectible.

    The value of the Marvel and DC books would depend on the title and condition. If you have a list or just want to send me a photo of the books I can help you out a little more…

  21. alex says:

    i have the first issue special of Enter the lost world of the warlord and king conan dragon wings over zembabwei i was just wondering how much they would be worth

    • Rob says:

      Hi, Alex. The Conan book is likely not worth more than 50 cents or a dollar if you're lucky. The Warlord book could be worth some money if it's in really nice condition.

    Hi, Rob.

    I have 18 Richie Rich comics and about 26 Marvel Spiderman Comics ranging from early to late 70's.

    could you give me an estiamte on how much this would be worth?

    • Rob says:

      Hi Hannah, I'd need to have a list of the books, including issue numbers, and photos of them to get any sense of their worth. Certain "Spider-man" comics from the 1970s could be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Others might be worth 25 or 50 cents. Thanks!

  25. kassi says:

    HI. I was wondering what the value would be on a 30th Anniversary issue of Spiderman. (365) It has been in a cover since purchase and the hohgram on the front is perfect! Thanks guys

    • Rob says:

      julia, it really depends on the condition and the issue numbers. Off-hand I'd guess they wouldn't be worth much, but there are always surprises to be found. If you could even just take a picture of them, I could maybe give you some idea.

  29. i have a Supermans girlfriend lois lane comic book from 1969 may number 12 in ok conditon definatly not mint what would it be worth?

  31. Mike M. says:

    I have The Death of Superman i believe is issue #2 or is the second copy made how much is this comic book worth ive heard that its worth alot but im not sure and it is mint condition in a plastic sleeve to keep safe

    • Rob says:

      hi Mike, a regular first print of that book (Superman #75) is worth between say, $5 and $100, depending on the condition. A 2nd print would be worth considerably less.

  32. Mike M. says:

    so y is a #75 worth more then #2

  33. Rob says:

    Hi mike,

    The "Death of Superman" occurs in issue #75 of the Superman comic book. So, when you ask me what the "Death of Superman" you're really asking what Superman #75 is worth.

    If you have a 2nd printing of Superman #75, that's worth less than a 1st printing because people really only collect 1st printings.

  34. Mike M. says:

    well its a series right or no. i mean i have the one where he is dead at the end of the comic i really dont know much about comics

  35. Rob says:

    Hi Mike, is this the book you have? If so, a 1st print is potentially worth a few dollars, (it will say right on the inside from cover) a 2nd print is basically worthless.

    thanks

  36. Mike M. says:

    yea thats exactly the one so its worthless then

  37. Mike M. says:

    well on the inside cover it says Superman 75 Jan, 1993 Fourth Printing G-7771

  38. Rob says:

    Yeah, the valuable version is the 1st printing. Sorry!

  39. Mike M. says:

    hmm i have tons of comics some of them gotta be worth something. wat was ur email maybe i can take pics and give u info and u can tell me.

  40. Rob says:

    Sure you can definitely email me a list or some photos. I do have to warn you that a lot of books from the 90s are basically worthless. There are some exceptions though, so definitely send me what you've got.

  41. Mike M. says:

    my email is savier_420@yahoo.com i dont care if anyone sees it. but i dont see ur email so send me an email so ill have yours

  42. Rob says:

    My email is linked in blue where it says "email me a list or some photos" You can just click that to email me (or you can type in rob.react@gmail.com )

  43. Mike M. says:

    yea i clicked that link and it said Error 404 but ill get that list to you as soon as i can thanks for the info on the superman one

  44. brian says:

    i have a peter parker spider-man #48 comic book that has only been touched once. how much is it worth?

    thanks

  46. Jodi says:

    Hi Rob,
    I have a Dec. 1933 Heinous Funnies, No. 1, Featuring Itchy & Scratchy, Mint Condition How much do you think it is worth?

  47. bryan says:

    I have a Conan Saga (Red Nails) vol.1 no.9 and was wondering what its worth.Its not in that bad of shap really, the cover has miner tares.

  48. mark says:

    I have never before opened comics I recieved direct from Marvel nearly 20 years ago. They are still in original wrap.
    1. Issue #1 Bucky O'Hare. 1990
    2. 1st All-New Collectors item issue of Spiderman (1990)
    3. The Amazing Spider man Issue Volume 1 no. 337
    4. X-Men Classic Vol 1 No. 57
    5. Incredible Hulk #379
    6. Wolverine#62
    7. Special Triple sized 50th Anniversery Issue Captain America #383
    8. The Uncanny X-Men #229
    9. X-Factor #63

  49. mark says:

    Will they ever be worth anything? 20 more years from now maybe?

    • Rob says:

      they could be. Since they're "worthless" right now, people might start to recycle them, or hand them out to kids on Halloween. Slowly but surely the number of copies available will start to shrink and all of a sudden they've become more valuable.

  50. Wyatt says:

    -Hello, I recently purchased a comic book to read, it was The Amazing Spider-Man #580.
    -I bought it for about 3 dollars, and then i realized there was a signature from the author. The author is Howard Stern, and i didnt know how well known of an author he is.
    -How much -if its worth anything- can i sell it for?
    -Thanks for your time!

  51. Wyatt says:

    ok sorry rob, i said howard stern, haha
    _ Roger* Stern

    Sorry about that, thanks!

  52. kent says:

    I have been trying to find a value for #75 The Death of Superman. If you could tell me the value of this comic I'd greatly appreciate it.

    • Rob says:

      Kent,

      In absolutely perfect condition it might be worth 75-80. There's a "poly-bagged" edition that might be worth significantly more.

  53. tom says:

    wondering what dragon lance from aug 1990 and grim jack number 3 are worth

  54. luc lvesque says:

    Good morning Rob,

    May I please have your email as I would like to send you a list
    of comic books that I have.
    I need a qoute from someone who has good knowledge.

    Thank you

  55. Rob says:

    Hi luc,

    email me at rob.react@gmail.com

  56. Rick says:

    Hi, I have Peter Parker the Spectacular Spiderman issue 1, I was wondering the worth, it is in perfect condition, in a plastic sleeve. My friend also wants me to ask about one of his. He has the first ever appearance of The Punisher (i don't remember the actual name of the book, just that it's his first appearance) it is also in perfect condition in a sleeve, and he also has a perfect condition first appearance of the black suit in spiderman.

    • Rob says:

      Hi Rick,

      In truly perfect shape the Spectacular Spider-Man book would be worth about $250. Chances are your book is not in that highest, highest grade so it's probably worth significantly less. People bought and saved boxes of that book, so it's very common.

      The first appearance of the Punisher was in Amazing Spider-Man #129. In perfect shape, it's worth $7-10000. Again, chances are his book is not in that kind of shape and would therefore be worth anywhere between $150 and maybe $750

      The first black costume appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #252 would be worth anywhere between $5-250 depending on the condition.

      If you have scans or high res photos of any of the books I can give you a better idea of the value.

  57. Rick says:

    thanks, i'll try to get scans, but i know that the books were bought new from his dad, never been read, and were put in the plastic right after bought. same with my spiderman, he had 2 copies and gave me one of them. thank you for the info.

    • Rob says:

      Hi Rick,

      It's tough to describe without examples in hand, but the difference between the very best books and lesser copies are very difficult for most folks to see.

  58. Sage says:

    i have a freddy vs jason vs ash #2 signed by Eric powell, punisher 2099 #1 holographic, the man called nova #25 (from the 70's) and the hulk #377. im wondering how much these are worth cause i think they may be my most valuable and lol i got the nova one from my library for 25 cents

  59. Rob says:

    Hi Sage,

    I don't know anything about the Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash book. The other three are probably worth .50-1

  60. Tammi Nowlin says:

    Hello, Rob. I have one DC comice book that i would like to learn more about the value – The Brand New Adventures of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. The cover lists 1958 – 59 Issue. Published by National Comics Publications, Inc. Information that you might provide will be greatly appreciated. I will try to scan a copy to provide to you tomorrow. Thank you!

  61. jessica ryan says:

    i have 40 issues of a comic called ALF. i also have MAD comic books. i really want to know how much they are worth.

    thank you rob

    • Rob says:

      Some of the Alf's guide for $3-4 each, which generally indicates someone is actually buying them. I have no idea of their true value however. What years are the Mads from?

  62. corey says:

    feb. 1957 cbs television prensetns the adventures of mighty mouse, good condition…?????????????

  63. ronnie says:

    hello i have the complete series of the warlord starting 1975 in very fine condition on all books and all annual specials as well and the first issue is signed by mike grell. i was wondering if you can give me a rough estimate of the value of the entire collection? all books have been sleeved since purchase.

  64. Mike Hamilton says:

    Hey Rob,

    Bought a lot of Star Wars comic books, mint condition from Comic Books stores (marvel). Surprised to see that they aren't worth much. Used to be able to find comic books everywhere, not so much anymore. Why the fall out?

    • Rob says:

      Hi Mike. You're kind of asking two questions. Comic pamphlets have mostly moved into specialty stores and the combination of Manga digests and Graphic Novel format comics now dominate bookstores, so the comic market has really just changed over the past 30 years.

      The star wars books aren't that valuable because they were very popular and were released in an era where everything that was bought was saved. So there are many thousands of nice copies of all the early issues.

      • Mike Hamilton says:

        Thanks for the response, its appreciated. I've seen the first edition #1 issue Star Wars comic going for 3k….mine is also very good condition, bagged from the time I got it stored in a box, all the pages are there and white. New at this, how to get an appraisal? I'm sure mine's not worth 3k….but just curious how much, the wife needs a minivan! ahahha

        • Rob says:

          The copy that went for $3000 was a 35 cent variant. That's a rare version. Chances are very good you don't have that version (which isn't to say your copy might not have a 35 cent price tag- it might. There are many 35 cent reprints. Those are worthless. ) If you have a regular, 30 cent first print in nearly perfect condition, professionally graded by the folks at CGC, then it might be worth $500.

          If you have a high resolution photo or a scan, I can give you some sense of what it might be worth.

          • Mike Hamilton says:

            Thanks for helpin me understand Rob, its appreciated. Why the different symbols on the prices….some have a diamond, and some are squared off? I hope that makes sense, and I'll take a photo of the one I have.

  65. john sarmiento says:

    hi Rob i would like to know the price of a have a superman pal,Jimmy olsen year 1965 issue 13, thank you

    • Rob says:

      Depending on the condition it could be worth anywhere from maybe $5 to a few hundred dollars. Likelier in the lower end of that range.

  66. Tilo says:

    Is The All New X-men #10 worth anything? It is part of Marvels 25th Anniversary.

  67. Rob says:

    Not worth much at all. There were many of them printed and many thousands of them were stored away.

  68. Jillian says:

    I have a Spiderman 25th Aniversery edition still in the plastic, never been opened. I got it when I was 2 or 3 so im guessing its about 20 years old. I was just wonding if you could let me know how much it is worth because im looking to sell it. Thanks

  69. Jay says:

    Hey Rob,
    I have Amazing Spiderman #121, and #122. Original prints. Their in plastic intact with no major tears. Maybe a crease or two from before my time, but they have been wrapped in plastic and stored for the last 16 years. I was just wondering their worth….Thanks

  70. diran says:

    Hi, I have a good condition Dec. 1933 Heinous Funnies, No. 1, Featuring Itchy & Scratchy, which unfortunately get wet because of a leak in the house. I want to claim from the insurance company, could you tell me the approximate valuation?

    Thanks,

    Diran

  71. How much would The Amazing Spider Man comic #53 be worth? If it's worth anything decent I will gladly email you pics of the condition. It's yellowing a bit, all the pages are in tact, and there an itty bitty super tiny tear on the back cover.

  72. Pixie says:

    Hi, I'm looking at selling a Mighty Mouse Comic… First edition number 41. Its been wrapped and other than a small tear at the bottom of the front cover is in excellent condition. How much would it be worth?

  73. James Tillman says:

    I have a DC comic of The Flash . Vol 30 No 263 .Published in July 1978. I want to find out how much its worth without paying a website to find out. Can you help ?

  74. Cristela (cris) says:

    HI I dont have a scan, but I have a Mad magazine from the Kennedy / Nixon election year. Prime condition, my dad has had it forever, we dont even look at it. Front and back cover either have JFK or Noxon campaign win on them. Pretty funny. Worth anything or should we just hold on to it?

  75. Tif says:

    I have a ton of comics. The ones we r wondering about are. Flintstone teenage year. #1 1972 issue and a few others. Could u help us find out what it is worth??

  76. Tif says:

    HI Rob again Im wondering about a comic called Lord Jim, 1957 #136. Also Spider man Horns of the rhino? We cant remember the edition we have. Thanks!!

  77. Rob says:

    Hi,

    The Lord Jim comic is Classics Illustrated #136. Classics Illustrated comics don't sell very well, so it's maybe worth .50 or $1.

  78. Tif says:

    WHT ABOUT THE SPIDER MAN HORNS OF THE RHINO???

    • Rob says:

      The title isn't the most useful piece of information about a comic. The issue number is what I really need to get some sense of the value.

  79. Sandra says:

    I have a few comics that I'd like to see if they have value. I couldn't get your link to coperate. If you let me know where to send my list with pics I would be happy to know your opinion. Thanks, Sandra

  80. shawn says:

    hi i was wondering how much an issue 4 conan the barbarian(1975) is worth in great condition

  81. Aliza Mesbahi says:

    Hi. I have many Enter the Lost World of the Warlord from October 1981 number 50 through February 1987 number 114 with several missing. I also have the annual editions for 1983, 84, and 85. They have not been specially cared for, but they are in good condition (no tears or dirt). Any value here?
    Thanks.

    • Rob says:

      if you sold the entire lot together, you might be able to make some money- $25-50 or more. Individually, I don't think there's anything of value.

    Thankyou, Rick

  86. Mike says:

    I have a copy of Hulk #181 first appearance of Wolverine in "fair" condition. Worth much?

  87. Amy says:

    My roommate inhearted her mom's comic books of called Classics Illustrated she has diffrent numbers and we are not seeing any info in the books to tell anything about em wondering if you can help us tell anything about them i keep seeing like 1st ed or hlm or something but we are not seeing that in the books

    • Rob says:

      Classics Illustrated are very confusing except for people who collect them and aren't very valuable except in very specific circumstances

      • Dan Cusimano says:

        There's actually a very easy way to determine the value of Classics. Classics were reprinted a zillion times, and in the vast majority of cases, only the first printing has any real value.

        On the back cover (or the inside front cover) there is a re-order form. You'll see a list of issue numbers. If the "Highest Reorder Number" (HRN) is the same (or one higher) than the comic you have, that's a first printing (for example, if you have a copy of Classics Illustrated 90, and the HRN is also 90, that's an original), and has some value.

        In some early issues, the second printing also has some value, but those are the exceptions. There were three issues that were NOT reprinted at all, and only have one edition, issues 53, 70, and 73. Those are worth significant sums as there's a strong demand for them. Hope this helps.

  88. Richard Buzgierski says:

    I have a Mighty Mouse , Thre Dimension , Oct. 1953 ,w/ space goggles ,vol. 1 no.1 in good cond.

  89. Dave V says:

    thanks Rob for the adventure. D

  90. Glynn Adkins says:

    Hello Rob

    I just wanted to know what was the total print run for the
    DC Comic's Superman 75 poly=bagged
    ( Or better know as the black with the bleeding " S " )

    I ask because as of today I just got back my cover from cgc and it was graded 9.8 only 35 copy's that high so now, I wanted to find out the print run amount ….Do you know that imformation or could you point me in the right path to find out ???
    Thanks
    Glynn

    • Rob says:

      Hi Glynn,

      I really have no idea. That's not the kind of book I follow all that closely.

      Thanks!

      • Dan Cusimano says:

        The print run on that book was EXCEPTIONALLY high, maybe two million or higher, plus it has seen significant reprinting. GPA is showing the 9.8 price cratering.

  91. Justin says:

    Hey, I have a large collection of comics I would like to get appraised. Titles include Green Lantern, Superman, Blue Beetle, Captain America (including The Bloodstone Hunt arc, 357-364). I live in Virginia, near Roanoke, any way you could help me find someone who could help me out fairly close by?

  92. George says:

    Hi I have a 1966 Spider- man golden record #1 reprint still sealed in the shrink with the record, it has never been opened, I found one on ebay that was graded high for 3200 but this has never had a hand on it in 44years. Its mint cause its still sealed, what would you say its worth, if not sure please give Me a ball park figure. Thanks So Much George

    • Rob says:

      Depending on exactly how nice it is it could be worth anywhere between $500 and $2500 for just the comic. I don't really know anything about them if they're still sealed in terms of value.

  93. George says:

    Rob if I am correct I believe there were only four of these released in 1966 Avengers, Fantastic Four, Thor, and Spiderman, I have three out of the four all new and still sealed never been opened I do have the fourth one but it has been opened. I do not know alot about comics but I am pretty sure I should not have them opened to be graded correct? As they all sit now they are flawless. Thanks again George

    • Rob says:

      I would have to ask around to see what they're worth, sealed. Yes, to get them graded by CGC you'd have to send them down to Florida unsealed.

      the one copy of the Spider-Man book I know of (and it's not something I follow at all) sold for around $1000. I'll email you for some more info.

  94. George says:

    Thanks Rob!! I called a local shop and they want me to bring it in, not sure yet if Im willing to do so. Thanks again!!! George

  95. George says:

    Rob
    Just curious what you think that Avengers one will go for unsealed and ungraded? Just a shot in the dark estimate.

    Thanks George

  96. Don Melvin says:

    Dear Rob, I'm holding a bunch of marvel comics, mostly in the siver age group. They are all in good condition. I can send pictures and a list. Their is a convention( Comic ) coming to town next month and I'm looking for the safest way to sell them and get their maximum value, what do you advise.

  97. Rachael says:

    Hello! Was wondering how much mint X-Files comics are worth. I have all issues and rare. Mainly what are -2,-1, 0, and 1 value. All in 9.9 condition. Thanks

    • Rob says:

      CGC graded copies, were they really 9.9 might be worth a $1-200. They're probably not 9.9 though, so your books are probably not worth getting graded. 9.4s and 9.6s sell for just over the cost of grading or below $10-40. Raw, I would imagine they might bring a couple of dollars each

  98. Clinton Vratil says:

    I have a lot of older comics! I am scanning them so I can send the pictures to you . But I will need you email account number.

  99. Clinton Vratil says:

    Rob I tried to send you pictures of some of my comics but the file was to big to send to you.

  100. Clinton Vratil says:

    I am sorry I am Computer illiterate and do not know what to do when going to a site like that.
    I will try to get all my books scanned and put on a disc. Then I will ask where to send it.
    Thanks Clinton

    • Rob says:

      Before you go to any trouble like that, why don't you just email me a list of what you have. That way I can save you time if the books are not that valuable.
