Donald,
Do you mean have we ever looked into adding a referral system here? We have our feedback system. How would you envision it?

Crowman,
I'm confident there are UK sellers here. We have been talking about adding a location for sellers so that you could search your area. Still working through the details of that.

Search Stats for Batman and Detective

I'm trying to dig into some of our data and give you information that you can use. I took my favorite character, Batman, and looked at the top 50 searches on CPG. These are not my top 50 Batman books they are the most searched for issues.

How could you use this information?
If you see a collection that contains one of these books in it, you know people want that book. If you're a collector of Batman, you will know if you're missing something important.

I am taking suggestions for the next title that you want me to research.
Enjoy,
Ron

I've changed the price to 1.95. There is a newsstand version of that book that is 1.50 but we don't have a picture or listing for it yet.

New Interview on the Blog

I started noticing this guy's art with Dark Nights Death Metal #1 (the wonder woman cover) so I researched him a little. Added his books into our system and interviewed him. He's a great artist and his potential is tremendous. Give the interview a read and be sure to check out his work.

I think his work looks like Dan Panosian art. The Singapore Comic-Con exclusive for Spawn #303 is ridiculously priced right now.
Thanks,
Ron

"Raw" Prices vs. "Graded" Prices

There are all kinds of variations to this.

For example, we changed the price on Venom #3 last week and the raw prices were the same as graded until 9.8. So a 9.6 graded and a 9.6 raw were selling for the same price.

If you look at Savage She-Hulk #1 the difference between raw and graded happens at 8.0. 7.5 raw and 7.5 graded are almost the same.

If you look at Captain America 117 (first falcon) the difference happens at 9.0.

If you look at Fantastic Four 48 there is always a difference between raw and graded.

Those covers are dramatically different. Wow.

Newsstand editions are becoming more popular. I've noticed when selling a Newsstand and Direct issue, the newsstand almost always sells first.

Growing a blog takes a lot of work and consistency. If you're serious about it you need to post weekly and get on social media platforms that you're active in and promote it. It's important that you don't just post about your blog on social media. Mix it up a bit. I wish you the best.

The back cover counts toward the grade of the book. So a damaged back cover is treated like a damaged front cover. Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to remove backing boards that are stuck to a comic. (never seen it happen) Were the books exposed to moisture?

The top information area is something that we've expanded a couple of times to include more books. However, it only includes the top 25 issues. That's why it won't take you further.

Glad that you're enjoying the site,

We've been going through the numbers on this book and there is some obvious manipulation happening.

Real sales
9.8 graded have been from 900 to 600
9.6 graded have been from 500 to 244

There is a manipulation attempt sale at $1850 for a CGC 9.8 on the same day as other 9.8 sales for that book. Don't fall for the fake hype.

Membership Toolbar?

Your toolbar and membership toolbar are the same thing. Based on the picture you are looking at an old video and looking to add a missing issue.

Go to a title like Green lantern
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/green-lantern/tly

At the very bottom of your toolbar is a link that says "report missing issue"
You can find that for any title.

Advice needed: Quick comic sale?

If you are trying to sell in a week that will be tough to get a good offer. On the opposite site of things, the cost of the storage unit could exceed the collection, depending on the value, age, and condition. Ultimately, only you can answer that because we don't have enough information to really help you. Your location might help because there are people here who buy collections.

The Giant size, Annual, King Size, TPB, Hardback, etc, tabs are individualized with every title. Some titles don't have annuals or king-sized issue. They do change but it's based on the title.
