Old Marvel Comic Books

OLDER IS USUALLY BETTER - Like most collectibles, older is generally better. For comic books, titles from the 1930's to mid-1950's are considered the "Golden Age" and these books often have the most value. People started seriously saving comic books as a hobby in about the mid-1970's, so many titles published after that date are the most common. As a general rule, the more people saved it, the less it's worth.Which is where all those moms come in. Even though many titles in the 1950's were published by the millions, diligent moms threw most of them out. The paper drives of World War 2 also served to increase the scarcity of any comic books published before that date. In terms of value, Superhero titles are generally the most collected. Titles like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Fantastic Four, etc.
