Fixed now. That's weird because I recently looked at all those early Spider-man issues and didn't notice that.
Thanks,

Do you have a pencil beside the issue number? If so, you can change the variant to any letter designation you want. I just changed it to UU. Send me an email if you don't have that capability.

Great Movie! One of the best Spider-man movies ever. The guest appearances will knock your socks off and the credit scene is fun. Sooo long we have waited for this. Dr. Strange is an interesting addition to this movie and seems to be a grumpy old man most of the time. Excited, great action scenes, good emotion, fun appearances. There is a complexity to the heroes and villains that makes for a more realistic movie. The heroes aren't always good and the villains aren't always bad.

When we add spoilers there is one villain who I'm dying to talk about. It's the voice for me.

I've added his character profile so that it's easier to find his appearances. I only have the first 4 in right now.

Have you noticed all the venture capital that is being poured into the comic book industry?

CGC parent company bought by Blackstone. Valued at 500 million for CGC alone

Whatnot app raises 225 million to buy new tech and almost all comic YouTube personalities.

I'm sure there are more that I'm not thinking of right now.

Two things -
Can you name other comic companies that have received venture capital recently?

What do you think will happen to the market because of all this money?

The "live" experience is one of the key to what they are doing. It feels more fun than a traditional auction. They are also hiring multiple YouTubers to promote their business which is really helping them.

I haven't bought anything there but I am talking with someone from there today. I'll ask about the money-back issue you have Generalgrog.

The Benefits of being a paying member are substantial.

You get full access to the "Recent Value Changes" page, which shows every book that has recently risen or fallen in value https://comicspriceguide.com/value-changes/
Free members can see 10 updates, Gold members can see hundreds of updated comic book values.


Gold members can see an EXCLUSIVE page that shows your personal gains and drops page https://comicspriceguide.com/gains-drops/
This is more specific than the value change page because it shows the issue, grade, and price change for your comics. If you have a 9.0 raw, the gains/drops page will show how that specific issue changed.

Gold members can sell an unlimited number of comics on the site for NO additional fee. There is a feedback system in place that allows you to build a reputation. We connect the buyers and sellers without stepping in to take 10 to 15% of your profit.



You can download your collection in an Excel file or use the PRINTABLE want list and collection lists that include your notes, value vs. cost, graded vs. raw, autographed or not, etc.


Our free app allows you to scan in books with a UPC code or look up any book at your local comic shop or comic book convention.


You can organize your collection into virtual comic boxes by any criteria you choose. You could have a virtual box by your favorite artist, character, cover image or even alphabetically.


Showcase your collection in the display case for all members to see or keep your collection private, whichever you prefer.

Overview -
All of these venture capitalists entering the comic book market will want their money back with interest. It would not surprise me if CGC raised its prices in the next year to recoup the invested money. All of these multi million dollar investments need a return.

Some of Ruk's questions involve inflation on the rise. "What will money be worth?" There are people who aren't comic collectors who invest in high-end comics as part of their portfolio. They might have a certain percentage of their investments in stocks, crypto, gold, real estate and comics. We are seeing a significant rise in the price of 9.8 graded comics.

There isn't a way to ban members from making offers on your books. If you have trouble with a certain member try to work it out between yourselves first. If you continue to have issues then contact me and I will intervene. Most of the time, people are able to work it out.

New Search Feature

We have several things that we are working on but this one is finished. When you type in the main search bar you can type the Title, the UPC, or the ISBN number.

I have to say this caveat, this only works IF the UPC or ISBN numbers are in our system. We do have one of our admins adding UPC numbers to new books after we add them to the system. So for titles with several volumes, this should speed up your search. I just typed the UPC for Amazing Spiderman 79, 75960608936907911 and it came up.

When they first started adding UPC on books they repeated the same number every year. So some results might have as many as 10 possible choices.
Amazing Spider-man 166 has the same UPC 0714860245703 as
Amazing Spider-man 178
Amazing Spider-man 190
Amazing Spider-man 202
Amazing Spider-man 214
Amazing Spider-man 226
Amazing Spider-man 238
Amazing Spider-man 250
Amazing Spider-man 262
Amazing Spider-man 274

I hope that helps you and I look forward to announcing more improvements soon.

Just to clarify -
If you click on your user name in the upper right corner, in the dropdown you will see a tab called Gains/Drops. That only shows the last 10 changes for your collection. If you click the orange button at the bottom called "My Gains and Drops" you can see the changes in the last 30 days. These are for your specific books in the specific grade you own. If you only have changes for one publisher, only that publisher will show up. They are currently listed in date order and then alphabetically. https://comicspriceguide.com/gains-drops/

If you want to see the 9.4 raw books that have changed go to this link under the Price Guide link.
https://comicspriceguide.com/value-changes/

These books aren't necessarily in your collection. They are listed by most recent but you can click on a letter or type to see a specific book.

Builttogarden,

I just looked at your Gains and Drops page and you have several changes. You have changes with Hulk, Infinite Crisis, Ghost Rider, Thing, Thor, Werewolf by Night all in the first few days of 2022. It does look like the newest changes are at the bottom but we can switch that this morning.

If you're going to send it off for grading, you should open them and examine them closely. CGC or CBCS cannot grade them in the pack.

Since you're new to this I encourage you to look at our grading guide in the Price Guide dropdown
