What is the value of Donald Duck #255?
I have a copy of Donald Duck #255 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 Donald Duck #255. If you own a price variant copy, then lucky you, it is worth $12 in 9.2 (Near Mint Minus).
Suggested answer:
Check the cover price of your copy of Donald Duck #255, and if it is $1.25 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.

Why are the Donald Duck #255 cover price variants worth so much more than the regular copies?
✔️Accepted answer:
Among surviving copies of Donald Duck #255, the market area that received the $1.25 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 $1.25 variant approximately 67% higher than the regular copies in Very Fine / Near Mint condition (as of our 2025 CPV Price Guide Edition).
