Are comic books from the 80s worth anything
Found a stack of comic books I had collected as a kid. Just curious if they were worth anything.

shareYou could order a price guide. I’ve been wondering the same thing about mine. That sounds like a good snowy weekend project and maybe I try to come up with an estimated value for the whole lot.

Awesome, thanks.
I’ll give it a test run.
If you have any Fantastic Four, X-Men, Spider-Man etc, you’ll be surprised at how much folks will pay for them.
shareI have LOTS of the major Marvel series, all boarded, bagged and boxed. I tried your site but had trouble with it on my phone. I’ll give it a shot on the laptop.
ETA: could be that I’m using borrowed reading glasses🤓
I always use my laptop for this particular site because I need to see it on a big screen 👓
shareIt completely depends on which comic and what condition it is in. Look up the title on eBay. If possible see what the item has sold for, not what someone is asking (all filters>show only>sold items).
shareNot really unless they're appraised.
Look up the individual books online (like Ebay) and you'll see the proposed price.
Unless they're some particular Spider-Man or X-Men first appearance books, probably not.
shareDon't toss or donate them.
Take the time to look up their values and if you want to sell, you can probably find a local comic store that will buy them or hit up some local flea markets and there's usually a comic guy there who will buy stuff.
Just know what you have so you don't get ripped off.
If they're from the 80s, that means they're around 40 years old, that ain't some dreck you bought at the local 7-11 yesterday.
You'd be surprised at the price some people are trying to get for some comics.

i was a marvel comics fiend in the 80s, & have kept most of my collection in reasonably good shape. not bagged, mind you, which was a mistake, but most of them are in good enough condition. just not mint like they would be if i'd properly tended to them.
a few years back i used on online price guide to try to get a fix on how much they might be worth, & was pretty underwhelmed to find there was probably only about $3k there. which isn't nothing, but i had a vague hope that maybe i'd have enough to buy a nice carbon frame mountain bike or something.
