What is the value of Blue Ribbon Comics #5?
I have a copy of Blue Ribbon Comics #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 a regular/plain copy of Blue Ribbon Comics #5. If you own a price variant copy, then lucky you, it is worth $16 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).
