Most Valuable Collectible Comic Books   by Katherine Fletcher

Ten Most Valuable Comic Books

I hope some of you have saved your old comic book collections. As noted previously the Spiderman original comic just sold at auction for a cool One Million Dollars.

Here’s the top ten most valuable comic books collected. It is good to know which ones so you can check your collection. You can also look for them at flea markets and garage sales. If you do have a collection it is important to keep them in a safe, dry place and covered with saran wrap or plastic.

Condition of the comic has everything to do with the price.

Why did these small little books sell for so much money?

That’s part of the magic of comic book collecting. This isn’t your standard kind of collection. There is an incredible history here. Decades upon decades of people have lived the life of comic book collecting.

There are new comics, old comics, and historical comics — all waiting and wanting to be collected. Each of them has its own, magnificent, story.

Here’s the list:

1. Action Comics No. 1 from 1938 is worth $1,390,000
2. Detective Comics No. 27 in 1939 is worth $1,380,000
3. Superman No. 1 from 1939 is worth $671,000
4. All American Comics No. 16 from 1939 is worth $430,000
5. Detective Comics No. 1 from 1937 is worth $405,000
6. Marvel Comics No. 1 from 1939 is worth $367,000
7. Batman No. 1 in 1940 is worth $359,000
8. More Fun Comics No. 52 is worth $316,000
9. Flash Comics No. 1 in 1940 is worth $289,000
10. Amazing Fantasy No. 15 (spiderman) is worth $280,000

My mouth was hanging open when I saw these numbers. Unbelievable prices for comic books that used to cost 10 cents and up. It gives me a whole new appreciation for Superheroes. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, the Green Hornet and others can actually make people rich !

One of the most important concepts you’ll come to understand as a comic book collector is that of supply and demand. Many collectors are not familiar with this concept and do not understand why the comics they bought 5 years ago are barely worth cover price.

If you knew what to look for and buy at garage sales and flea markets you could make a fortune. So what do you look for ? Check Out the great guide book with all the information you need.
