Simple answer - HRN stands for "Highest Reorder Number". On the back cover of the cover there is a list of Classics Illustrated titles by number. On most comics - there is a copyright date for the publication. For Classics Illustrated - there is only the original copyright date of the material and the re-order (or reprint) number. Comics were reprinted many times - generally the higher the number the less the value. Numbers above 150 are very common. (i.e. reading material - no money!). This is true even for comic printed in 1960's you think might be valuable - probably not as valuable as you might guess.

Prices on classics illustrated are all over the place depending on story and re-order number. Suggest you check guide carefully. Valuing Classics Illustrated comics is not for the faint of heart. Just my opinion.

I'm sure some have value, but I've never met a collector that wanted to collect them. A $50 comic with no buyer is essentially worthless. I don't get excited when I see them.]]> Thu, 13 Apr 2017 00:26:14 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=10085 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 23:46:23 GMT
