What is the value of 1984 #1?
I have a copy of 1984 #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 1984 #1. If you own a price variant copy, then lucky you, it is worth $64 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).
Suggested answer:

Why are the 1984 #1 cover price variants worth so much more than the regular copies?
✔️Accepted answer:
Among surviving copies of 1984 #1, the market area that received the $1.75 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 $1.75 copies of 1984 #1 was Canada — hence the name Canadian Price Variant as a short-hand for $1.75 Price Variant. All of this adds up to a market value for the $1.75 variant approximately 85% higher than the regular copies in Very Fine / Near Mint condition (as of our 2025 CPV Price Guide Edition).
