The 100% best way is to consign them to auction. What they sell for is what they are worth. GreatCaesarsGhost and Yodisd 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you can look here and see what the number equates to a grade: https://www.cgccomics.com/grading-scale/ So a "7.0" would be a Fine/Very Fine Haven't bought an Overstreet in years, but the older ones I have break down values by Fine (6.0) and Very Fine (8.0). So a 7.0 would be in the middle of that range. Then you can search eBay for something like "amazing spiderman 51" and see what a Fine/Very Fine or a 7.0 is going for. GPA is a paid service that shows the value of slabbed books from certain web sites: http://comics.gpanalysis.com/ Also watch auction closes on ComicLink.com and Comicconnect.com, mycomicshop.com and the sales threads on the boards. Good Luck! -bc Yodisd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And based on E-Bay sold prices - $60 is definitely on the high side but several others have sold for that price. Yodisd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Cool Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 1 minute ago, Yodisd said: Thanks! I can look up comic values on GPA though?? GPA is a summary of what slabbed (CGC) copies have sold for. If you are trying to sell or buy a raw copy of a book it's best to look at E-Bay sold listings or Overstreet if you can't find anything on E-Bay. But realize Overstreet prices are 90% of the time way over the prices you can actually get in real life. But it is at least a tool to get you in the right area.
