You can check the $ value the ICO raised
here and compare to the market cap on
CoinMarketCap.
However, the market cap isn't a great way of measuring a value of a coin. The markets are very thin and with a $20,000 dump you could take 20-50% off a coin with an 8 figure cap. I forget the exact amount but I think I chopped about 10% off the Golos market cap with a $6,000 dump.
So if an ICO raised $12M and the current market cap is $12M you are on very shaky ground.
Going through the list here as some rough gains/losses:
Bancor: -$80M
Kin: -$66M
Status: +$18M
TenX: +$109M
MobileGo: -$27M
MCAP: +$16M
Loopring: no change
Moneta: -$23M
BasicAttention: +$104
Civic: +$66M
I think most have been much higher at some point. There are some ICOs that are now trading at much higher prices like Golos and Stratis, but most of these are pre the Apr 2017 crypto rally. The space is becoming very crowded with a lot of very similar coins. The main thing I would look at the buy on is names and buzz. People aren't buying on fundamentals. On that EOS is my main tip to bubble into the top 10 and expect Monero, NEO and ETC to fall away.

Any recommendations for a noob who wants to play in the ICO market at all? Threw some money into BTC/ETH last week. Realize the ICO market is a gamble so will just be playing play money into it. Not sure how I go about finding ICO's to invest in and where to do so?
See the above link and also
this. I would keep it to coins being backed by big names, with big teams and ideally something new. And know the prices of these coins is almost wholly speculation that they will be worth more in the future.
