Question
How much would an I love Lucy comic book published in May-July 1955, issue #6 in very good condition with very minor creases on the cover page be worth?

Answer
Hi Aeseret

This comic book has a price guide value of around $30, depending on exactly what condition it is in.  You would probably be able to sell it to a comic shop or on eBay for something like 30% to 60% of the price guide value.

Maybe a little more actually, if this auction for a similarly priced issue (and which still has several hours to go before ending) is any indication:
