Jon R. Warren's Comic Book Price Guide : Current Market Value of Old Funny Books
About Warren's Comic Book Price Guide
Searching for Comic Book market values? You have come to the right place! IGuide™ is proud to host the online Comic Book Price Guide by Jon R. Warren. Warren was creator of The Overstreet Update and editor of it for 10 years (1982-1992). Subsequently, Jon became Senior Price Guide Editor for Wizard: The Guide To Comics, where he was at the helm from 1993-2003.
The price guide is maintained by Warren and his Board of Advisors who are authorities on Comic Books and their market values. The searchable database consists of thousands of detailed reports. Each report includes current market
values in ten different grades, as well as a section for "Real Market Data", actual prices fetched at auction. The database is updated daily.
Of course, any collectible is only worth what a willing buyer will pay to a willing seller. iGuide™ is "just a guide." Please be aware that PRICES VARY WIDELY from region to
region. Current estimated values are the result of thousands of hours of research. And we invite anyone to help add and update data. Read the "What's A Wiki" section below for more info
on how to help.
When selling wholesale, or selling your entire collection at one time, expect to be offered anywhere from 30% to 50% of the total retail value depending on the quality and condition of your items.
About The Estimated Values Shown
The Estimated Values shown on each web page represent our best effort at providing a reliable price estimate. However, prices and and do become out-dated. One person cannot possibly keep every page up-to-date, so that is why we created a Wiki system to allow anyone to help maintain the database.
We invite anyone who sees a problem with any Estimated Value (or any other problem on the page) to report it to us by clicking the Report A Problem icon at the top of each page (it looks like this
).
How to Use the Search Engine
Use iGuide like you would Google, search by inputting keywords that closely match the kind of item you are trying to appraise.
If you are too specific, you won't get any results. Not specific enough, and you'll get too many results. The search engine will find matching pages based on keywords you type into the Search Box found at the top of each page. The engine searches all categories of objects,
not just this particular category, so you may get some irrelevant items in your search results unless you are very specific.
ALL STAR will return all records with ALL STAR in the title, even things that are not ALL STAR but have those words somewhere in the title.
ALL STAR COMICS #35 will return exactly that item if and only if we have all the relevant data (date, etc) in the description.
ELL FOUR COLOR will return all in the DELL FOUR COLOR series.
1966 GIANT ANNUAL will return all records from year 1966 with GIANT ANNUAL in description.
SRAT KREG will return NO RESULTS because nowhere in the database is there a description such as SRAT KREG.
Be A Contributor
We invite expert collectors and dealers to contribute knowledge to the search engine for the shared benefit of the collecting community. It's easy, anyone can add images and
contribute information to the web pages in the database. Read more in the "What Is A Wiki?" section below.
What is a Wiki?
A Wiki is a web page that anyone can make changes to. The job of maintaining accurate information is far too monumental for one person, but a
community of enthusiasts can maintain many thousands of pages quite easily, each person adding a bit at a time. That's the idea behind iGuide™'s "What's It Worth Wiki".
The most famous example of a Knowledge Wiki is Wikipedia, of course. But, our vision is that someday iGuide™ will become the Wikipedia of Art,
Antiques, Collectibles, Memorabilia....and Comic Books.
iGuide™ is here to provide the platform and tools to enable researchers and collectors to share knowledge.
Anyone can contribute to the WIKI. Upload images, improve descriptions, update pricing, add auction results and "Real Market Data", add missing pages, and so on.
If you see something wrong, fix it. If you see something missing, add it.

What is "Real Market Data"?
Wouldn't it be great if you could determine what price constitutes a "fair
deal" before you made a deal? We think so. That's why we've created
iGuide's Real Market Data (RMD) pricing, our proprietary system that does
the research for you. It's a guide that gives you updated information
on what you should pay for an item or what you should expect to receive - without having to spend hours
researching. iGuide's Real Market Data pricing system is the
internet's best guide to market value pricing and the only pricing system
designed with the consumer in mind. Our exclusive RMD pricing is based
on real sales data, gathered from auction sites in near real-time. This ensures
you get the most accurate pricing available, as quickly as possible!
