How Do You Determine The Value Of A Comic Book?
Comic books are like every other collectible – their value depends upon condition, popularity and supply. Step 1 Assess the condition of your comic book. Back issues – comic books that are not currently on the sales rack – are sold in conditions ranging from New/Mint to Very Poor. Condition determines price. Step 2 Refer to “Overstreet Price Guide” and “Wizard Magazine.” These guides have definitive listings for each of the different conditions. Step 3 Find your title in the listing. If you have a recent, popular book, “Wizard” is the easiest source to use. However, if you have something a little more obscure, then “Overstreet” is your sourcebook. Step 4 Price your title according to condition. “Wizard” assumes you have a perfect copy, so you will always get the highest current value. “Overstreet” will list all the prices available.
