Description
Our family is raising funds for our teens unfunded and urgent cosmetic surgery. We are selling off many of our possessions to make this happen. Our goal is to cover all expenses: 1) air travel and transport (to and from Bowen Hospital, Wellington, 2) the unfunded surgery of NZ $35,000 to NZ $37,000, hospital stay one night, followed by one additional night in a Wellington Motel (as recommended by the surgeon), before flying home to Napier. This surgery is coming up in the last week in January 2026. Additional trips to Wellington will be required afterwards to see their surgeon.
This rare Golden Age Comic is a must for your collection. From the moment you lay eyes on this issue, you note the strikingly intact front and rear covers (only a tiny fleck missing from the bottom front cover).
Estimated Value
The value of Golden Age Adventure Comics #118 varies significantly depending on its condition, typically ranging from a few hundred US dollars to over a thousand US dollars. This comic presents as a better than Low Grade comic (please see auction photos), but assuming it is Low Grade (e.g., CGC 5.0 Very Good/Fine): Copies in this range have recently sold on eBay for approximately US $375 (NZ $651) to US $430 (NZ $747).
Key Factors Affecting Value
The value is primarily driven by:
Rarity: Golden Age comics from the early 1940s are scarce, so even damaged copies are sought after.
Character Significance: Features Superboy
Cover art: By noted cover artist Jack Burnley, it is a collectible Golden Age issue.
