Question
Years ago I found an enlarge version of the first Superman comic, it is not the 1939 version. I have it put away safe, but cannot remember exactly the date possibly the late 60's. It is in fair to good condition. Is it worth anything?

Answer
Hi Marcus

In fair to good condition, it's really not worth much.  The issue should have two covers, the outer one saying "Famous First Edition" at the top and the inner cover having the full-size Superman cover.  Without the outer cover, your comic is really just a reading copy.  With both covers and in fair to good condition, it's worth around $2 to $4 in the price guide.
