I am trying to figure out a value range for this Star Wars #1 comic that I bought in Czechoslovakia in 1993. Any ideas or could you point me in the right direction about where I might be able to figure it out? It is still wrapped.
It is really hard to place a value on foreign comics, especially comics that have few sales. These comics really are worth just what someone is willing to pay.
With that said, my copy cost me about $20 a few years back. I know of another copy that sold in the past year. If I had to guess, I would think a copy like yours could probably bring $20 - 40.
While the cover is from Star Wars #1, the interior is from Star Wars Annual #1. If the interior had Star Wars #1, it would be worth substantially more.
thinkdoug, I want to apologize for a mistake I made about the Czechoslovakian comic. I checked my copy and the interior is indeed Star Wars #1 - 6 and NOT Star Wars Annual #1. This comic was printed in 1992 and is almost certainly a bootleg. I did a little digging around and it is not a particularly rare comic. But, because it contains Star Wars #1, I can see a copy fetching $30 or more from the right buyer.
I created a blog posting about this comic as well to help clear up my mistake.

Thanks for the response. What is Star Wars Annual #1? When I google it I only get hits from 2015 which is not correct.
ReplyDeleteThe interior is from this comic:
