AI Appraisal Estimate

This item is a vintage comic book titled "Mikke Krim," identified as issue number 13, printed in Norwegian. The front cover features a dynamic illustration of Mickey Mouse, here rendered as 'Mikke', in a dramatic scene. Mickey is depicted wearing red overalls over a light tan or yellow shirt and-a yellow cap, seemingly falling or diving through shattered glass, which creates a striking visual effect with sharp, angular shards. The background is a mix of yellow and dark tones, suggesting an intense or mysterious setting. The comic's title 'MIKKE KRIM' is prominently displayed in bold, red, block letters at the top, above which are smaller white letters 'Disney's' and 'Walt Disney's', indicating its official licensing. A white, irregularly shaped sticker with 'A 10 --' written on it, likely a price tag, is partially obscuring part of the title. Another small red circle with 'Nr 13' is visible on the upper right corner of the cover. The bottom left corner of the cover features a barcode with numerical sequences '074 26' and '7023069220942', along with the manufacturer copyright information 'Disney konsernblad nr 26/95' and 'KR 19'. The overall condition of the comic appears used, with visible creasing, especially near the spine and edges. There are no obvious tears or major repairs, but the general wear suggests it has been handled over time. The colors remain vibrant despite its age, and the paper quality seems consistent with comic books from the mid-1990s. This comic book represents a specific era of Disney publications in Scandinavia, likely dating to 1995 based on the copyright information.

I have examined the image of this Mikke Krim Comic Book, Nr. 13. Visually, the comic appears to be an authentic Norwegian printing, consistent with Disney's Scandinavian publications from the mid-1990s, specifically 1995 based on the 'Disney konsernblad nr 26/95' and 'KR 19' information. The cover art, featuring Mickey Mouse diving through glass, is dynamic and well-rendered, typical of the era. The colors remain vibrant despite its age. However, the condition is a significant factor impacting value. There is visible creasing, particularly near the spine and edges, and the presence of a 'A 10 --' sticker. While there are no obvious tears or major repairs, the general wear indicates it has been handled over time. This wear suggests a grade in the 'Good' to 'Very Good' range. Market conditions for international Disney comic books, especially later-era issues and those not representing a key first appearance or significant storyline, typically see moderate demand. Comparables for Norwegian Disney comics from the 1990s in similar condition generally trade in the lower price ranges. While there's a niche market for Disneyana collectors, this specific issue isn't known for exceptional rarity. Its age contributes to its vintage status, but not necessarily high scarcity. The Norwegian language further narrows the collector base compared to English or more widely distributed comics. The primary factors affecting value are its condition (lowering value) and its niche as a foreign-language Disney collectible. Without a physical inspection, I cannot verify the integrity of the staple, the condition of the interior pages, or detect any subtle repairs or restoration that may not be visible in the image. Full authentication would require in-person examination to confirm paper quality, check for foxing, water damage, or mold, and verify page completeness. However, based on the image, I assess the value to be in the range of $10-25.
