Tails #1 Comic Book FAQ
What is the value of Tails #1?
I have a copy of Tails #1 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 Tails #1. If you own a price variant copy, then lucky you, it is worth $25 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).

✔️Accepted answer:
Among surviving copies of Tails #1, the market area that received the $1.65 cover price copies was a restricted area representing less than 10% the population of the total North American comics market.

All of this adds up to a market value for the $1.65 variant approximately 340% higher than the regular copies in Very Fine / Near Mint condition (as of our 2024 CPV Price Guide Edition).
