It’s not news that a lot of collectors acquire items such as comic books and vintage music magazines. This is one of the most common items to be collected and it’s probably right on the top of your list.
Vintage Music Magazines are usually valued based on the artists they featured. Some magazines featured famous artists that were still starting out back then.
Some of the songbooks came with the vinyl record, cassette or CD box set as a bonus memorabilia. One of such songbooks is the Jimi Hendrix 10th Anniversary Australian Box Set that came along with a booklet.
Magazines were also typically valued based on their condition. These magazines already have enough value based on the artists featured, they also get more based on the condition of the magazine. A mint condition Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap book by AC/DC can be valued up to $9,999.00 per book.
Some comic books also gained value from collaborating with other brands. Marvel collaborated with Kiss to release Kiss Marvel Super Special 1977 Vol. 1 Printed in Real Kiss Blood Comic. This issue is valued at around $1,299.00 per piece.
Comic Books and vintage music magazines were valued based on its rarity and its condition. Some comic books only became popular as time went on so some of their earlier issues are fewer since people tend to take care of those less. These are the ones that are typically higher in value.
One of the rarest comic books out there is Batman No. 1. This issue is the first appearance of The Bat back in 1940 and is heavily sought after by anyone who wants a complete their set of the comic series. This is valued at about $567,000.
Most of the comic books were also valued based on how significant it was in the run for comic books. One of the, if not the most valued comic book is the Action Comics no. 1. Action Comics no. 1 is the first issue of comic books of the series “Action Comics.” This issue featured the first appearance of multiple prominent characters today such as Superman and was sold for only 10 cents back then.
Currently, there may only be fewer than 100 copies of this comic book and you seldom find one of these in still pristine conditions. Each copy costs about $3.2 million.
Vintage Comic Books and Magazines are and will always be a part of collections because you can show a clear line of evolution in them. Unlike humans, you can see ancestors of this item and you can see how far along it went. You can hold them in your hands, though not bare-handed to prevent ruining the paper.
Comic Books are a part of history and are a very important part especially for the enthusiasts out there. The earlier issues for these comics were how their favorite series began and everything they are seeing now is a culmination of the different things the series has gone through over the years up until now.
