YOUR MOST VALUABLE COMIC(S)

[Jixby Phillips]

I collected comics when I was a kid, because I was under the impression that they'd all become worth millions of dollars in 20 years. The vast majority of my comics I bought from 1993-1994, most of them were from "Collector's Packs" from costco. I'd also go to comic shops and buy random first issues, and most any comic that had a shinny or holographic cover. I really didn't know what I was doing. I didn't read comics, except for stuff like Ren and Stimpy, and "funny" comics like that.

Last month I spent a weekend at home, and I looked up every comic book I had online, to find that they were mostly worthless. I'd spent 20 dollars buying Ren and Stimpy #1, only to find it's now worth something like 5 bucks. But here are some things I found to actually be worth some money:

Second printins of random old Marvel comics - Sears and Toys 'R' Us had a package of "vintage" comics that you could buy for like 20 bucks. My mom got them for me in a Sears Catalogue for christmas one year. Nothing in the Sears ad said anything about them being reprints, so I thought they were the real deal. I spent the next few hours looking up each comic, to find they were worth hundreds of dollars each. Then I opened one up, saw an ad for a Super Nintendo game, and realized they were reprints. I was so mad, I tried to get my mom to sue Sears for false advertising, rereading the ad for any indication that they were reprints. I was like 10 years old at the time. Ironically, these comics are now worth more than all my other comics, they are now worth something like 10-15 bucks each, and it was a pack of like 20 comics.

The other big comics I have are two Popeye Comics from 1937. These I got from my Grandpa when he heard I was collecting comics. If they were in better condition, they'd be worth about 1000 bucks each, I could probably get 1000 bucks for both of them.
