✔️Accepted answer: The answer depends on whether you own a Type 1A cover price variant copy, or a regular/plain copy of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #537. 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 Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #537, 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.
