Old Comic Book

[treasuredog]

My mother-in law gave this comic book.(It is not torn on edges,just the way I cropped it) Journey Into Mystery Volume 1 Number 2 August 1952. What would you grade and how much is it worth?

cool...i'd rate it a two...those edges really that clean? can we see a shot of the binding?
no stains, but for the yellowing?

way cool...golden age....

Binding tight. Crease mark down the middle,probably folded one time.Corner crease at top right and a few stress lines around edges. Dark green colors,colors pretty bright. Whats a rating of 2?

i'd call it a 8 by this standard.

So comics are hard to grade. Maybe a 3,say fine grade? Ok maybe vf. Thanks for the help

My comic book guide from 1992 lists a vol. 1, #2 at $95 in fine and $225 in near mint.
I think yours would be worth a little bit more based on my older guidebook.
Hope this helps...

Stop guessing and send it in and get it graded and slabbed

It will give you further protection from deterioration and increase the value if you decide to sell it.

All my good comic books have been done.
