Batman #216 Value?
Very good condition. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is there any way you can give me an idea as to what it might be worth.
Editor's reply: Hi Valerie, thanks for asking.
Although I have not seen your comic book, I found a stock photo of an identical Batman comic #216.
It's not an especially important, key issue, as it doesn't feature the first appearance of a hero or villain, or a major story point, etc.
The record sale for this comic book is $995, but that is for a CGC 9.8 grade -- even nicer than the one pictured here.
In most cases, what people consider "very good condition" is way lower.
There is a steep dropoff in values of Bronze Age comic books, from the highest grades down. 7.0 (very good condition in most people's eyes) is only worth around $25, less than the cost of getting it graded!
If you care to email me photos of yours, then I will appraise it properly. Thanks for writing.
