What is the value of Steel Sterling #5?
I have a copy of Steel Sterling #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 Steel Sterling #5. If you own a price variant, lucky you, it is worth $10 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).

Why are the Steel Sterling #5 cover price variants worth so much more than the regular copies?
✔️Accepted answer:
Among surviving copies of Steel Sterling #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 Steel Sterling #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 100% higher than the regular copies in Very Fine / Near Mint condition (as of our 2023 CPV Price Guide Edition).
