How to Locate Valuable Comic Books

When searching for valuable comics, it's tough to know where to look.

Comic books have been around for decades, and in that time have become a uniquely entertaining collectible. For someone who's new to collecting comic books, searching through thousands of them to find the valuable ones can seem like an impossible task. But if you know exactly what you're looking for, and a few good places to look, you'll be able to find the rare comic books you're after.

Instructions

1. Identify the comic books you're looking for. They'll be easier to find once you know the titles and issue numbers.

2. Familiarize yourself with a comic book pricing guide, which will help make sure you're not paying too much for your comic, and a grading chart. The grading chart helps you determine what condition a comic book is in, and is useful if you're serious about collecting.

3. Search for your comic books. Yard sales, comic book stores, eBay and comic book conventions are good places to start.

Tips & Warnings

• Use your price guide to make sure you get a good price on your comic books. Don't be afraid to haggle.
