You may have some books of value in your new collection but what you have shown are not worth anything. The Captain America is a nothing book and the My Love is very beat up. These are called "dollar books" as in sellers would put them into their dollar bin stock hoping to sell them and then after they don't sell move them to the 25 cent bin.

If you have enough, you might be able to get a new toy yoda.

The answer is a possible YES if you are referring to a new Tonka car from a discount store.  

You definitely wouldn't be able to buy one of those vintage Tonka collectible cars with what you have shown us so far.

I'd say go to ebay and look for your books and see the 'sold' values.  Make sure to account for the condition/grade of the comic. Good luck.

How about a nice new Mercedes?

Now it all depends where you found them. If obtained from an estate sale then they are priceless. If found in old box in attic then look out, fortune is coming your way. Just read thru ebay auctions and you will see the key words that make a book valuable. Like "comes bagged and boarded" in the title. Man I start to drool when I see that line. "Free bag and board" in title and i'm bidding on the book immediately.

As far as a model to buy I would suggest Hot Wheels or maybe Matchbox if you sell these.

Unless you want a '74 Pinto that's been sitting in a junk yard for 35 years. If so, then go for it.

If those are the two best examples, you may not even have enough for a key chain.

I thought the same thing about my 25cent box finds and years later Big Hero six became a Disney movie.  Not a fortune but more than I paid for the 40 comic lot.  

On another note I found a Spawn #2 newsstand cgc at 9.4 but cant find on census and only one sold on eBay CGC graded with upc.  

I paid $63 slabbed.  Was it worth it. Looks like the direct editions go for $43ish.

You are supposed post these threads on a Friday - you were a day early. 

[marvelmaniac]

I am usually not a "sarcastic twit", however...(BTW, that is sarcasm) since this seems to be a "spoof" thread.

The two books you have pictured which appear to be in eBay grade of "Near Perfect" are valued in the Overstreet Price Guide at...

Captain America 351 - $3.00 (NM 9.2)

My Love 29 - $4.00 (GD 2.0) - $50.00 (NM 9.2) SELL, SELL, SELL while the Iron Is Hot!!!

[Chief1332]

From one newbie to another, find yourself a site for pricing of comics, learn about grading, and have a little fun.  Best way to get started...

Yes! if you buy me a new car I will take those comics & dispose of them for you!
