Question
I know its not worth much but i have gotten various prices I was hopeing you could give me an idea about the worth of a 'batman 80 page giant' the issue is #208 ''who is the most important women in batman's life?'approved by the comics code authority'' it has slight fading around the 'dc' lingo and tape on the sides but other wise perfectly mint.

Answer
The value for that issue depends on which guide you use but the average value for a Very Good grade copy is about $8.  Without seeing the comic it's difficult to give an accurate grade, however, with the tape that you mentioned, most collectors would not grade it any higher than Very Good and there are others who wouldn't grade it that high, depending on how much tape is on the comic.

I did a quick search on eBay and it looks like VG copies on there sell for $4 and under, so that should give you some idea of what to expect if you were to try and sell it.

I hope this helped.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
