Silver Age Comic Book Marvel Edition

One of the most important factors that go into processing a Comic Book collection is checking if a Comic Book is complete. Most dealers will skip this process because of the amount of time it takes to go though each book. Skipping this process will lead to returns.

A brief history on why a Comic Book could not be complete is during this time Marvel starting putting in full page posters of their characters and kids at the time would rip them out unintendedly making the Comic Book incomplete. Mostly you will see this done towards the back of the book near the ads section. There were advertisements that were cut out for a mail in or short story that the kid wanted to read separate of the Comic Book.

Checking your Comic Book is Complete; Value:

The reason why this would matter is even if ripped poster does not effect the story and is if someone is spending hundreds of dollars on a Comic Book they would want it to be as complete as possible. When checking that your Comic Book is complete and you find one or many of them are missing pages it still hold value but as you can see below it drops significantly:

The above data shows two things why it is important to check if your Comic Book is complete:

1. The dollar amount can be significantly lower for Comic books that are not complete.
2. The number of buyers that are willing to pay for a Comic Book that is not complete drops by at least 90%.

Here are a few examples from a collection took under consignment:
