AboutBrian G. Philbin Expertise I`ve collected comics for 40 years and I'm able to answer most questions regarding comics, creators, fandom and the industry from the Golden Age through the Silver & Bronze Ages up through today`s comics, with an emphasis on super and action heroes. I have knowledge of the Western, Funny Animals, Romance and other genres, but to a lesser degree. My expertise lies in DC Comics/National Periodical Publications, although my general knowledge extends well into Marvel, Tower, Archie, Charlton & many of the "Independent" companies that began in the late 70`s & 80`s.
Experience I have been a comics reader/fan for over 35 years now and have followed industry trends from distribution to creation to fandom to retail and back again. I have had several letters published in Comic Buyers Guide and have several websites dedicated to comics at:
If there's a question I don't know the answer to, I usually know who to ask and have been providing online information to a wealth of inquirers for over 10 years now. I'll do my utmost to answer your question, no matter whether it is simple or in-depth.
Question Hi Brian,
I was just going over my brother's old comic book and came across The Cheyenne Kid #93 with a double cover. Is it worth anything? Thanks for your time.
Answer Hi, Pamela - thanks for your question! And pardon my lateness, my vacation wasn't saved in the AllExperts.com preferences for some reason. Anyway, on to your question.
To be honest, the printing mistake doesn't necessarily mean an improvement in value, however, it does increase the likelihood that the inside cover has been more protected and is - as a result - in better condition than other comics from the same period.
Grade/Condition is important in comics values. In Near Mint condition, this comic would be valued by the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide at about $14.00 - the double cover might possibly bring further interest, as well.
I recommend that you obtain information about the comic and grade it using the tools I link to on my site:
That should get you started and also help you decide what you'd like to do with the book (have it professionally graded, store it properly as a keepsake, sell it, etc.).
Once you've done that - if you feel you'd like to sell it, I recommend Heritage Auctions for consigning a sale, as they usually have the best bidders and returns - at least, better than eBay or some of the other auction sites around. Their website is:
