Unless you've got a first appearance or something they're probably not worth all that much. By the 80s lots of people were collecting and preserving comics, so they're nowhere near as scarce as books from the 60s or older.

Best bet is to check ebay but ignore graded/slabbed prices and only look at sold listings.

Well, got them for free, so any money I make is a profit

I think I had one that said it was the first appearance of gambit, should I post a picture?

>>80938685
No picture need just the title and issue number.

Fuck if, posting a pic before the thread 404s. It says the issue number is 266, and the price thing says $75, can anyone confirm this?

>>80939009
The uncanny x-men, issue 266. See >>80939042

The need to bring back that thong Gambit has on the outside of his pants

>>80939042
first appearance of gambit, that's probably worth something

>>80939042
If you sell it on a common comic store you won't make more than 10
on ebay you can get a 100 but that is a slim chance.

Comics aren't a good investment anyway, at least you are not into baseball cards.

>>80939178
It does look fantastic
>>80939295
I'll check eBay or Google real quick and report back

>>80939042
First appearances won't make you a millionaire like you're probably hoping.

But you could get a good $100.

Maybe $125 if the movie ever comes through.

>>80939042
It's closer to $60-70, but maybe you could get lucky and two people would get in a bidding war.

Honestly, any money you make should go towards a gift for him. Or read the comics and enjoy them yourself. They're worth far more that way, and not from a sentimental point of view. They're literally worth more because comics are basically worthless, price-wise.

Googling tells me around $200-$400, eBay sold listings say anywhere from $69 to $300

I do have one that I think is unique, it's a special edition of "the rocketeer" issue 1 that's signed by Dave Stevens, any idea what it might be worth? Pic related

>>80939817
That's really fucking cool, but I bet it's not worth much.

The one thing that trips me up is I can't find prices for the "classic x-men" anywhere, Google and sold on eBay don't have them, should I post the issue numbers I have?

>>80939817
That one should get you around 15$ more or less.

Also always remember that if you don't have a reputable account on ebay you probably will have to give a small discount on your prices in order to get people to bite.
