At current time this issue is worth 2.00 american according to comics price guide .com. For comics unless its a special edition comic (ie supermans death, wedding issue, first signed edition. etc.) its not usually worth much. Now if you happen to find any from say the 1900-1960's they are usually woth much more do to age. Best of luck.

Some guides even list this comic for $2.50 I have many multiple guides and that is exactly what they are, is a guide.They are not a bible set in stone pricing guide. Most comics from 1980 and up sell well below guide and that is in near mint.By the time a pricing guide is released the information that they compiled is almost a year old. I could give many samples of comics that sell above guide and more that sell below guide.This knowledge comes from experience and up to date market studies. Most comic stores would love to get guide but reality dictates otherwise.When l price a comic, I find it more honest to deal in reality pricing.I sell 1000's of comics a year well below guide from 1980 to present.People buy guides every year to see how much their collection has appreciated.Publishers won't sell alot of guides if they keep showing a downward trend in pricing.

That is very true, but many auction houses unfortnently still use the priceing guides for comics and many collectibles thinking that is what there worth. If he wants to see this sell at auction, he will have to start the bid with what the guide says. He may get lucky and get a comic collector who needs it for his collection, and have the bid go up. I have seen many good condition comics that start out with low starting prices, then get into a bidding war between two collectors raising the price considerable high. It just goes to show its all about luck and who is at auction.
