SMAL,

That whole collection, if you are lucky could maybe net you $20 bucks.

Most of those comics are from the 90's. 90's comics are functionally worthless due to massive over-printing as the comic industry tried to cash in on the collectors market.

For instance X-Men #1, which is part of your collection, is like the most printed comic of all time. It's worth roughly as much as the paper it is printed on and you can go into any thrift shop, flea market, or used bookstore and probably find 10 copies of it for less than $0.50.

The only comics that are worth any money are from before comics were considered a collectors item, because less issues were printed and people, not realizing they might have value, didn't take a ton of care of them. This causes a really limited supply of those issues.

Yeah, I remember the early 90s fondly. The death of Superman, Spawn was super popular. It was an awesome time to be a kid and be into comics, but sadly they're not worth much. I have an unopened copy of the resurrection of Superman, the white bag one. :3

Everything related to Superman's death or ressurection is basically X-Men #1 tier value wise. Everyone and their mothers bought a copy of those comics because they thought they'd be worth something. Effectively ensuring that none of them would be worth anything.
