any of these worth anything more than a couple dollars? Just a handful of what I found.

That's pretty awesome. I have a few early Amazing Spiderman's and early Warlord, and one Dr. Stranglove in the 30's.

I have no idea if any of yours are valuable..but I've got a box full of older comics and I'd be interested in knowing where the market is on these...

What sucks is I tossed it because I didn't know what it was...and my mom obviously didn't know. Found it cleaning my grandparents house (along with a box full of old Spider-man comics)

Hmmm. Looking at what you have there, they probably aren't going to be worth more than the few dollars range. Maybe $5-10 at best. The Indiana Jones comics may be worth a bit more, but I don't think very much more, as I have those issues myself and they didnt go for as much as early Star Wars issues did.

I once had a stack that would reach abou 3 foot high. Unfortunately, they were stored in the attic and a lot became a rat's nest before it was discovered. Saved a decent amount, but lost a lot of them.

I think the most valuable one pictured will be the New Mutants annual. The original team has never really lost their cult-esque popularity and seem to be having a bit of a resurgence. The next would probably be Firestorm #1. After that though, the rest probably wouldn't cover a Subway sammich.

They also appear to be in less than mint condition, and some in less than good condition, which will hurt their resale.

I figured. Found them stashed in an old suitcase. They've yellowed on some pages. None are mint. Some in good. Most in fair to meh condition.

Interesting.. thanks. IF, they had been, I assume, in mint.. the pictured ones would have been:

Batman No. 315 $16
All Star Squadron Annual No.2 $6
Justice League America Annual No.1 $5
Ghost Rider No.73 $4
Fury of Firestorm No.1 $4
and $3 each on the rest. I'm probably sitting on $10 bucks on those pictured. Giggity.

None of them are worth much in that condition and, as you just listed, not worth much in mint either.

Your best bet is to put them on ebay and maybe there's someone that's interested in certain issues that you have and will buy the whole lot to get them.

I've had more success selling on ebay like that and its going to people that will enjoy like you once did.

Or you could give them to a niece, nephew or friends kid. It'll make their day.

Free to use if you really want to know if you have anything there.

I found an A-Team #1 for a dollar a couple weeks ago....apparently I overpaid a little . It was fun to read though.
