Mickey Mouse #242 Comic Book FAQ

What is the value of Mickey Mouse #242?
I have a copy of Mickey Mouse #242 and I want to know what this comic book is worth in different grades as a first printing?

✔️Accepted answer: The answer depends on whether you own a Type 1A cover price variant copy, or just a regular/plain copy of Mickey Mouse #242. If you own a price variant, lucky you, it is worth $6 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).

  Suggested answer: Check the cover price of your copy of Mickey Mouse #242, and if it is $1.25 then congratulations, you own the more-rare cover price variant type which has a higher value. If not, then you own the regular type which has a lower value.

  Suggested answer: The higher the grade, i.e. the better the condition, the stronger the value. Our guide only goes as high as 9.2 (Near Mint-), with values for Mickey Mouse #242 listed in various grades shown on this page down to 2.0 (Good).
