I own what looks like a 1983 copy of the 1938 issue number 1 of original Superman comic. It is very realistic looking to the 1938 original. It looks like it was issued by the Superman Peanut Butter Co. as a promotion. Is there any information about this?

Bit of an unusual one here. I don’t have actual comics, but have a bed cover/spread featuring prints of the first edition covers of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Whiz and Green Lantern. Not sure how old it is, but is in vgc, and would also make a great wall hanging. Any value to a collector of first edition imagery? Happy to send pictures, just email leithn@hotmail.com

Hello!!

i have a collection of comics, some from the late 70′s and most from the 80′s. They are comics such as uncanny xmen, other types of xmen, x factor, some gi joes, spiderman, batman, etc. I am curious, so i don’t overlook anything, do you know of any very valuable comics from the late 70s and all of the 80′s that you would recommend i watch out for?? I have a hodge podge in addition to what i mentioned. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

You also have to take into concideration the conidition of the collectors item, to actualy be able to sell one it has to be “mint” or “near mint” condition, or else it won’t hold to value and restrict the chance of even finding a buyer.

Mahendra — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 12:38:11 +0000

Hi all, if I find those comics up there listed where and to whom should I contact with to sell and how to go about it? plz shed some light here, cheers.

Have 1939 Superman #1 comic. How would I go about selling?

Just to answer a lot of the same questions, the Wizard guide book could tell you how much the comics are worth roughly. And yes, today’s comics are not as valuable because of the high circulation. However the dealer incentive comics have the real value nowadays.

I got to believe that the first appearance of Spider-Man is worth WAY more than the first appearance of the Golden Age Green Lantern!

My boyfriend has the first issue of Superman dated 1938 with the green car on the front ….. his father left it to him , it is in mint condition kept in those protective sleeves since he was young … we were in total shock when we saw the suggested value here !!! I mean we knew he had it but had no idea the worth !!!… as well his father left him the entire Silver Surfer Collection… any idea where we can find out what that is worth?

You tell evry one about Comic Books that cost 12cents
or higher, what about the ones that cost only 2cents.
Is there a value on them?

the idea that new comics are printed in too great of number to ever be worth anything is exactly what has made comic books of the past valuable. eventually, they get beat up, eaten by little brother, or just thrown away with other childhood toys (also of some value).
Is it a risky investment? less than playing the market, because it is a known factor that there will be less, of good quality, over time.
Is it a stupid investment? not if you enjoy the collecting and maybe reading, and it’s a much cheaper speculation than trying to play the stock market.
So, what should you buy? buy what you like, and enjoy them, but take care of them too. many years down the road you may have one of the few surviving issues of the next big score.
but if your buying things that already have a high value, beware and know what your buying, there are a lot of hustlers out there trying to pass of reprints as original copies.

Thanks not with stupid – what made these comics so valuable is their rarity. New comics are printed in such abundance that they’re unlikely to be valuable any time soon (or at all).

By: not with stupid

not with stupid — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 03:35:04 +0000

Stupid is right, modern comic books are a poor investment. Flooded market and all. I saw where pre WWII comic are worth more because of rarety. Same as stupid had over 1,000 in the 80′s(still have a complete collection of Warlord). Went to buy some for my son not too long ago, now they are too expensive and shorter. Alex great pictures and nice blurbs about each one.

Here is a thought…

An asset is only worth something if you can create or expect to create a positive cash flow from it.

Owning a business is good because you expect to be paid from the earnings

Owning a house is good because you can rent it out and receive rent

Owning stocks are good becuase you might get paid a dividend (or not and you are simply hoping for appreciation)

Even investments like gold, diamonds, art, baseball cards, and comic books can be good because they might go up in value. My impression of the current collector market though is that they are all bad investment! If I buy superman #1, it is rare and could very well appreciate more than my WACC (weighted average cost of capital…aka, my opportunity cost). If I buy anything modern though, the chances of it appreciating at a faster rate than my WACC are low. Buy new comics because they are fun! They suck as an investment.

If you want to buy a collectible though, it is only worth it if you are going to get better than your WACC (5% in a CD…10% in the market), otherwise it is a losing proposition. Furthermore, in most cases, you have no idea whether a modern collectible will be worth what you paid for it in 10 years or nothing.

As a teenager, I got caught up in the speculating hoopla of thr late 80s/early 90s. How many copies of X-Men #1 did I buy anyway? I was young and dumb. More importantly, the comic companies hid their production numbers from the public so I was at a great disadvantage. Oh ell, live and learn.

I think british and us comics are of equal value. proof: at least 10 marvel uk books offered on ebay equated in bucks equally.

Paul — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 01:15:29 +0000

Lorraine,

I’m guessing that you’re just joking around, but if by some fluke you happen to be serious, the comic could be quite valuable. Let’s see, 10 cent cover price…I’d be happy to give you a $100.00 for it. That’s a 1000% return!

I have a superman comic book dated 1939. Its a picture of superman in the center within a oval yellow cover marked 10cents. Its 64 pages.I have had it more years than I can recall. Its a large size, still in great shape some bends on the corners. Can any one tell me its value?Thanks
