Fly #5 Comic Book FAQ

What is the value of Fly #5?
I have a copy of Fly #5 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 Fly #5. If you own a price variant, lucky you, it is worth $14 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).

  Suggested answer: Check the cover price of your copy of Fly #5, and if it is $1.00 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 Fly #5 listed in various grades shown on this page down to 2.0 (Good).


What is Fly #5 worth in VF/NM condition?

✔️Accepted answer: The regular cover price version is worth about $4 in VF/NM whereas the $1.00 variants are worth $12.

Why are the Fly #5 cover price variants worth so much more than the regular copies?

✔️Accepted answer: Among surviving copies of Fly #5, the market area that received the $1.00 cover price copies was a restricted area representing less than 10% the population of the total North American comics market. That's because the destination market for $1.00 copies of Fly #5 was Canada — hence the name Canadian Price Variant as a short-hand for $1.00 Price Variant. All of this adds up to a market value for the $1.00 variant approximately 200% higher than the regular copies in Very Fine / Near Mint condition (as of our 2023 CPV Price Guide Edition).

In VF condition, how much is Fly #5 worth?

✔️Accepted answer: The regular cover price version version of Fly #5 is worth about $3 in Very Fine (8.0) whereas the $1.00 variants are worth $10.

What is the approximate Fly #5 value in very good condition?

✔️Accepted answer: Down in VG (4.0) Very Good condition, the regular cover price version version of Fly #5 is worth about $1 whereas the $1.00 variants are worth $5.

What is the Fly #5 price guide value in good condition?

✔️Accepted answer: The price guide value way down in GD (2.0) Good condition for Fly #5 is about $0.50 for the regular cover price version version whereas the $1.00 variants are worth $2.
