Answer 1

Try the overstreet comic guide they are very accurate at pricing. It also has the listing of how to classify your comic, Mint NM good fair etc. IMO you have some nice comic there.

Answer 2

Depending upon actual condition (which would need to be inspected by someone who knows the business) I would say that the Disney books and the Roy Rogers would be the most valuable, as they tend to have the biggest following of after market (collector) sales. Unfortunately, many online price guides, and even printed ones, can be inaccurate as they only base their values upon what they believe will be high demand items. The best way to find out would be to ask a friend who is into comics what they figure the condition would be. If you trust that person enough, maybe go with them to the store where they generally buy their books and take these ones in with you to ask the owner what he or she thought they might be valued at.
Another good way is to check out online comic stores (a good one is www.milehighcomics.com) and run a search on the books you have. Just punch the title into their search box, and see if you find any matches. They will have values based upon what they sell them for to online buyers. Again, these may not be entirely accurate, but should be close to the current market value of the books you have.
Of course comics, like any other collectable, are only as valuable as the person who wants them is willing to pay. You could find a collector who is in dire need of one or several of your books and will pay well above "market value" for them. It's a tough industry, and hard to speculate on values accurately. This is why each month Wizard Magazine has an updated price guide.

Answer 3

There not worth much woody woodpecker is a tv comic and the other two arent big names

Answer 4

You need to look them up in a price guide-- I don't know if they have it online or not. If not, then you could try taking them to a comic shop and ask the owner what he would pay for them. (A warning, though, they never pay full Guide price. You're better off selling to another collector than to a shop owner.)

Answer 5

According to Comicbase, in VG condition, they are worth in the order you listed: $2.00, $5.50, $3.00, $16.00, $4.00, and $11.00. The Western comics are the most valuable.
