As comic book fans we are well aware of the most valuable comic books.
In your opinion, what comic book has the least value?

This is an odd question. I view worthless in two ways. The first is thinking of a book that you practically have to give away just to sell it. In which case, there are many 90's titles and issues that are run-of-the-mill books and easily found (and rarely sold) for much more than a buck. Youngblood #1 is a good choice, but what about a random issue of Batman from the 90's...say #505. Equally worthless IMO because you probably could not sell it for much more than $0.50 to $1. That being said, issues of Youngblood have sold for more and older issues, like a lot of Superboy stuff, routinely sells for the same amount.
The other way I view worthless is a book that is worthless to me. Now, it may have value, which I am happy to take advantage of but if someone offered me a book (say the recently hot NYX #1 or even Justice League #40 from the New 52), I would deem these worthless and have zero interest in owning. I would definitely sell these to someone who sees value in them and then happily spend that money on books I value much more (but may not have that much monetary value at all...say, a run of Son of Satan or some oddball Ditko stuff)

It has to have a print run of 1.5 million copies in circulation. And also because it's crap on a paper... |

To me, this comic is so bad, it's good. Like Plan 9 From Outerspace. |

Awhile ago, I received a package of comics that I'd bought off eBay and the seller had actually used as part of the filler/stuffing/padding of the box, a copy of Stormwatch #0 and Gen13 #1. Both issues were folded up and inserted into the sides of the box.
I just had to giggle over that (not to mention also getting these as free comics)
So if you're willing to use certain comics/issues as package stuffing, to me that suggests what you think of their real value.

The Captain & Gene - When it's first came out as a Collector Item - it's cost a $1.00 to buy it and I did not buy a copy of it ... six month later my Comic Book Store had 30-40 copies of this book #1 and it's priced to sell for one thin Dime. Nobody buying it and three month later the Store Owner took all remaining copies and threw them into the recycling bin. He wasted $30 to $40 dollars on these books and that's was one of things that he regretted doing.

What's worse than bad 90's McFarlane comics? How about bad 90's amateur copied McFarlane comics?  So many comics like these, if you just paid a penny you got ripped off. But if you used to own a comic shop and are stuck with them, they make great home insulation! |

Some of my comics are so obscure that they're priceless. In this case, I think that makes them more worthless than the other stuff. No matter how common and overprinted it is, there's still someone out there who will pay 50 cents for a Youngblood #1. Is there truly anyone out there who needs a copy of Ape Nation #1?  I mean, I know Planet of the Apes fanatics. Even they wouldn't know what to do with this thing. |
