THE TEN MOST EXPENSIVE SECOND-HAND COMIC BOOKS LISTED ON EBAY

In February, 2022, our friends over at NoDepositDaddy.com decided to discover the ten most costly second-hand comic books for sale online. In order to do this, though, they first had to compile a list of popular superheroes from both DC and Marvel (with some help from Ranker.com). Then once they did that, afterwards, they tracked down and ranked the most expensive comic books featuring these superheroes (based on their resale value on eBay.co.uk).





Now, for the purpose of this study, signed copies and team books (such as the Avengers and the Justice League) were excluded, but only because this would produce slightly more accurate results. Here👇, check them out…
