Hello to All.
I have a ton of Back Issues in my collection. And a bunch of them do not have covers (mostly 1960's - 1980's). Are they worth anything?
I am aware, of course, this depends on the condition, rarity, demand, etc. of the comic, but just trying to get a feel as to how much the average comic looses in value when there is no cover.
Any speculation on this?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Todd

In GENERAL (and a google search will get you many opinions and answers to this fairly common question), Overstreet usually says coverless comics are nearly worthless. Even their lowest grade of .5 still mentions having covers, beat as they may be. Now, a rare comic like Action #1 etc, will still fetch a good bit of money coverless if complete and not beat, as people may have original covers to stick on them, or just want as cheap a copy as they can find (and some are now getting individual pages graded and trying to sell them), but those are the exceptions. try doing some searches on that auction site for 'coverless whatever-issues-you-have' for SOLD prices and see what turns up. Amazing Spider-Man #1 may have some value coverless, but probably 90% or more lower than a low grade with cover, but I haven't checked that out.
Most 70s-80s mainstream comics are common, so without covers they're pretty worthless to COLLECTORS, but some kid may pay .25 just to read them, but these days most of those are online to read for free.

Golden Age Batmans sell well coverless. They grade as a .3
I have been requesting that CPG add .3 to the grading list for when we input issues.
