Thanks,  I'll use them in really cool ways like wallpaper in the playroom!

Thanks,  you want them? 

I have silver marvel asm 3, 4, 7 and others without front cover.  It's horrible I know! Any value at all? What should I do with them? No i won't give them away.. unless you come up with a good essay on why you should have them.  Haha

I also have platinum era comics naked and sad without covers. Just any info so I have an idea, is appreciated. 

I hope I'm not the only insufficiently_thoughtful_person asking this

No cause for feeling silly.  We were all new to this at one point.  With about 99.9% of comics, you can look in the indicia inside the front cover to find the exact title and issue number. You just happen to have one of the ones where that rule isn’t true. Some of those Marvel annuals in the 1967 to 69 range or so don’t necessarily say the word “annual“ or “special“ in the indicia.

Popular characters like Spider-Man will always sell at the right price. As others have suggested, if you put these books on eBay, collectors will bid them up to market price.  Unless you have mega key books there (like ASM 1), you probably won’t get rich. But there is definitely at least some value to silver age Spider-Man books, regardless of condition.  Personally, I would rather pay a few bucks per issue for remaindered books like these than for reprints of the same stories.

 

Thank you! So much great info! "More info, more info, more info" -johnny 5........old movie quote

Thank you so much!

There could be value. You would have to put them up at auction to see how much they're worth.

Seems is a reprint I'm finding out. I would've felt silly, huh!!?! Thank you

Your "Spidey #4" is a reprint from 1967...without a cover it's a nice reading copy, but it has no value

Seriously?! Double heart break. How do I  find this out about if a comic is a reprint? Future referencing. Thank you!

I inherited a nice comic collection. I'm newly learning about this. I'm a big collector of many things. I have a question I can't find any information on the topic of comics without front covers! I'm asking because my collection is mostly silver era! Amazing Spider-Man volume 1 issue 4 is breaking my heart because it's a fairly valuable one. There's a few more. Does it hold any value at all and how do I determine this? The collection is all in great condition besides the missing cover or half cover on very few. Thanks in advance for any info at all!
