What is the value of Archie and Me #138?
I have a copy of Archie and Me #138 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 a regular/plain copy of Archie and Me #138. If you own a price variant copy, then lucky you, it is worth $9 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).

  Suggested answer: Check the cover price of your copy of Archie and Me #138, and if it is 75¢ 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 Archie and Me #138 listed in various grades shown on this page down to 2.0 (Good).

✔️Accepted answer: The regular cover price version is worth about $5 in VF/NM whereas the 75¢ variants are worth $7.

✔️Accepted answer: Among surviving copies of Archie and Me #138, the market area that received the 75¢ 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 75¢ copies of Archie and Me #138 was Canada — hence the name Canadian Price Variant as a short-hand for 75¢ Price Variant. All of this adds up to a market value for the 75¢ variant approximately 40% higher than the regular copies in Very Fine / Near Mint condition (as of our 2024 CPV Price Guide Edition).
