What's Action Comics #1 worth in 2024?

The value of Action Comics #1 in Mint condition doesn’t exist that we know of to date.  If a CGC NM+ 9.6 copy came up for sale, we think it could sell for $8 million to $10 million.  The highest graded copy (untouched by restoration artists) is a CGC VF/NM 9.0 and sold for $3.2 Million back in 2014.  Of the 72 copies graded by CGC, only 40 are considered unrestored (not modified from it’s original state in any way). Even in low grade, copies can fetch $300,000 or more.  If you have a copy, someone will have to back up the Brinks Truck to buy it from you! If you’re looking for a copy, do your research, and be patient. It will take significant time to find a copy that you like at the price point that you want, especially if you’re looking for one that is unrestored.

Why is this comic book valuable?

The first appearance of Superman really needs no introduction does it?  For those of you living on planet Mars, Action Comics #1 was created by Jerry Seigel and Joe Shuster in 1938 and kicked off the superhero genre as we know it.  All Marvel/DC Superheroes and movies owe their origins to this issue where it all began. Lois Lane also was introduced in Action Comics #1, adding to the demand for this issue. There are estimated to be less than 100 copies of Action Comics #1 left in existence out of a print run of 200,000.  The combination of scarcity and demand for the first American Superhero has skyrocketed the value in recent years. If you think you have a copy of an original Action Comics #1, make sure you check the cover for the 10 cent sales price. If it doesn't have 10 cent on the cover, then you're looking at a reprint which is worth a small fraction of the original's value.

Why is this comic book valuable?

Action Comics #2 was published in 1938 and continued Superman’s adventures.  It features the 2nd appearance ever of Superman in comics as well as Lois Lane.  Action Comics was primarily an anthology featuring different characters in their own stories, but soon, Superman dominated the comic and it became known as a Superman title beginning with Action Comics #15.

What's Action Comics #4 worth in 2024?

The value of Action Comics #4 in Mint Condition would probably be in the $150,000 to $200,000 if it ever came up for sale.  CGC NM 9.4 is the highest graded any Action Comics #4 has achieved according to the CGC census. The highest graded copy ever publicly sold is a CGC VF 8.0 for $34,000 in March 2019.  There are 40 copies on the CGC census and only 22 of those copies are unrestored, so this is a very rare and scarce comic book.

Why is this comic book valuable?

Action Comics #4 is valuable due to its scarcity and being the 4th appearance of Superman in comic books.  Superman doesn’t appear on the cover again until issue #7, so these early issues between #s 2 and 6 aren’t as desirable as the covers with Superman on it.

What's Action Comics #6 worth in 2024?

The highest graded known copy (CGC VF/NM 9.0) has no recorded sale. A CGC VF+ 8.5 copy sold in 2014 for $40,000. If a CGC NM+ 9.6 were to surface it would probably sale in the $250,000 range. While Superman does not appear on the cover of Action Comics #6 the first use of one of his most well known nicknames and first appearance of what would become one of his closes friends ensures the issue will command a premium in any condition. Complete and unrestored even very low grade copy (CGC GD 2.0) will cost a minimum of $4,000.

Why is this comic book valuable?

Action Comics #6 is extremely valuable and sought after for 3 reasons. First reason, rarity, the CGC Census lists only 22 unrestored copies in existance and 19 restored. Second is the first appearances of Jimmy Olsen, only referred to as "Office Boy" in this issue. Last but not least the term "Man of Steel" is used for the first time.

What's Action Comics #7 worth in 2024?

A CGC VF 8.0 is the highest graded copy on record. The highest sale ever is a Court Pedigree 5.5, which sold for 204,000 in 2020.  A CGC NM+ 9.6 would easily bring something in the range of $1,000,000! To help understand the explosive value of the book we examine the information provided by the CGC Census. A low grade copy (CGC GD 2.0) that in 2002 for $2,500. The very next year that same book sold again for nearly $6,000.  In 2017 a CGC GD +2.5 (just half a grade higher) sold for over $70,000. One thing is for sure, if you are looking for one it will certainly bring top dollar.

Why is this comic book valuable?

Actions Comics #7 is valuable due to the second time Superman appears on an Action Comics cover as well as first use of his name on the cover. Even though this is the seventh issue of the series it has proven more desirable than issues #2 - #6 due to Superman's cover appearance. The CGC Census repoorts only 29 of 47 known copies are unrestored. That means you can certainly factor the rarity of the issue into the overall value as well!

What's Action Comics #9 worth in 2024?

If a CGC NM+ 9.6 copy were discovered it most likely would bring $200,000 to $250,000. The highest graded copy on record (CGC F/VF 7.0) sold for $19,000 in 2008. Because Action Comics are generally some of the most valuable comics in the world they increase in value more slowly and steadily than other titles. Even the lowest known graded copy, a CGC Fair 1.0, sold for nearly $3,000 back in August of 2019. Bottom line - Action Comics will always bring maximum value.

Why is this comic book valuable?

Actions Comics #9 is Superman's 9th appearance in the series. He does not appear on the cover and there are no major character developments which is why it doesn't compare in price to the earlier issues. It is still an Action Comics #9 and theer are only 32 copies known via the CGC CEnsus. Half of those are restored so that means there are only 16 complete and unrestored copies in the world. Pretty rare by any standard!

What's Action Comics #10 worth in 2024?

According to GPA the last sale of #10 in a CGC VF/NM 9.0 brought $258,000 in 2011. That same issue would most likely bring around $325,000 or more today. A CGC NM+ 9.6 could easily top $700,000. In July of 2019, GPA reported that a coverless and incomplete copy (CGC Poor .5) sold for $1,500 (essentially just pages from the book). Unbelievably, in 2016 just the BACK COVER of the book - referred to as "No Grade" by CGC yet still certified by them as a Poor 0.5, sold for almost $2,500! Apparently even if you just have a piece of this comic you are in good shape.

Why is this comic book valuable?

It's a bird! It's a Plane! Action Comics #10 is the third cover appearance of Superman and he is in flight and punching an airplane. Children and adults alike would be captivated by this image in March of 1939. The only issues worth more than this one are Action Comics #1 (first appearance of Superman and on the cover) and #7 (second appearance on cover and seventh appearance in the book). CGC Census shows only 18 unrestored copies in the world.

What's Action Comics #13 worth in 2024?

Out of the 24 unrestored copies known only 15 have ever made it to market. The highest graded copy, a CGC NM- 9.2, sold for $185,000 in 2011. To get an idea of how these issues appreciate you need to look at GP analysis' sale history for a copy that has changed hands more than once which is sometimes difficult with comics of this age. A CGC VF 8.0 copy sold for nearly $68,000 in 2011. In 2015 that same copy sold for $102,000, a profit of $34,000. Over a four year period there was probably no other market enjoying that rate of return. The 9.2 gradeed copy brought $117,000 more than the 8.0 graded copy that sld in the same year (2011). A CGC NM+ 9.6 would more than linkely bring between $300,000 and $350,000 if brought to market today.

Why is this comic book valuable?

We have all heard the phrase, "...more powerful than a locomotive...". Clearly a reference to the Son of Krypton. Action Comics #13, Superman's fourth cover appearance doesn't disappoint. The Man of Steel is stopping a speeding locomotive from shooting off the tracks! If that isn't a good enough reason for this issue to be so valuable it also features Superman's first super-villain, Ultra-Humanite and an advertisement for Superman #1. There are 44 known copies of this issue but only 24 of them are all original unrestored. Definitely a rare find.

What's Action Comics #17 worth in 2024?

If someone were to bring to market a CGC NM+ 9.6 copy of this issue we believe you could expect to fetch around $150,000 as a minimum, possibly more. A CGC F/VF 7.0 brought $25,000 in 2018. Some of the low grades fall into the somewhat affordable territory of under $10,000. GPA reports a CGC VG+ 4.5 sold for $8,000 in 2019 and a CGC GD 2.0 sold for $3,300 in 2018 as well. If you find yourself where your  opportunities line up you can't go wrong picking up such a early comic, especially with the Man of Steel on the cover.

Why is this comic book valuable?

Action Comics #15 holds its value due to scarcity (only 75 copies on record) and a very early cover appearance for their flagship hero, Superman. Three more issues would come and go before Superman was on the cover of Action Comics to stay. This issue is probably the first Action Comics issue with Superman on the cover that is "affordable" in lower grades. Meaning some of the complete and unrestored low grade issues can be purchased for under $10,000.

What's Action Comics #19 worth in 2024?

This issue sold for just $79,000 in 2011 as a CGC NM 9.4. According to GPA that is the highest known copy. There is no doubt it would bring a good bit more than that today. A CGC NM+ 9.6 would most likely bring $250,000 to $275,000. A CGC GD 2.0, considered a low grade, sold for $1,000 in 2011 and $2,200 in 2018. We can see a mid grade copy brought $8,000 in September of 2017. It's our recommendation to grab these low grade copies while they are stable at low prices

Why is this comic book valuable?

Action Comics #19 is important and valuable because of how rare it is, of course, with only 71 unrestored copies registered with GPA. It would also see Superman continue on the cover from this issue on as the standard. Previously he had shared the cover, as an inset with other characters, or been removed from the cover entirely for the likes of Zatara the Magician. This issue also contains a full page ad for the 1939 World's Fair. This is also a very striking and bold cover with heavy use of red and green making Superman's pose very dynamic!
