In general, the value of a comic book goes up the older it gets. So if you’re in possession of some really old comic books, you should make sure you follow a few guidelines in order to make sure the sales goes smoothly and you get as much as possible for them!
Here are our suggestions for selling really old comic books:

First, Make Sure Everything Is Stored Properly And Organized
Keeping your comics stored properly doesn’t just make the entire process easier when you’re ready to sell, but it can actually put cash in your pocket! Comics that are stored correctly will age much less slower, retaining more value as they get older. It’s never too early to store your comics properly!
Then, Decide Where You Want To Sell Them
Where you sell your comic books will determine how much you’ll receive for them. For example, selling directly to another collector via eBay may yield at or above face value, but it will take a lot of time, work and luck. Selling to a comic book store is a fast and effortless transaction, but because they need to make a profit reselling it, they can’t offer as much for the comics they buy from you. It’s a balancing act and really comes down to personal preference and what’s most important to you.
Third, Get A Professional Appraisal Or A Second Opinion
Whenever you’re selling something as valuable as old comic books, it’s always smart to get an appraisal or a second opinion in terms of valuation, especially because an industry expert can help you in terms of market timing and recent trends in addition to simple comparisons.
