A comic is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. With this in mind, CovrPrice only displays actual sales data (taken across multiple online marketplaces… not just eBay) to help you better determine the best value for your comics.
Our goal for this graph is to show overall sales trends for officially graded comics. Here we take the average for each condition and display it as a data point. To see the most recent sales data for each condition be sure to look at the individual sales data listed in the tables below.
“I sold a comic last week, why isn’t it showing up on your site?”
At CovrPrice, we capture tens of thousands of sales DAILY. It’s simply impossible for a human to determine the authenticity of every sale coming our way. (Trust us, we’ve tried) To ensure the quality of our data we error on the side of caution, valuing accuracy over quantity. We only integrate sales for comics that our robots are confident are correct. While we don’t capture 100% of every sale in the market we’re getting closer and closer to that goal. If you think we missed a sale that you want to be entered into CovrPrice just contact us at [email protected] with information about the sale and our humans will investigate and add it for you.
That’s easy, when listing your comics for sale on 3rd party marketplaces be sure you include the following: Comic Title, Issue #, Issue Year, Variant Info (usually the cover artists last name), and Grade info.
For example Captain Marvel #1 (2015) - Hughes Variant - CGC 9.8
This will help our robots better identify and sort your sales more accurately.
×But the cracked software was a house of cards.
Desperate, Maya turned to a local IT shop, explaining the situation without mentioning the crack. The technician, a former architect turned tech enthusiast, listened and then said, “I can help you get the official trial version, but it will only run for 30 days. If you need more time, you’ll have to buy a license, even a student or hobbyist one. It’ll be far cheaper than you think, and it’ll give you the stability you need.” crack archicad 25 fra 4013 10
When Maya first heard about the “crack Archicad 25 FRA 4013 10” floating around a dim‑lit forum, she was both curious and desperate. She’d been hired to design a community center for the small town of Willowbrook, but the budget she’d been given was tighter than a drumhead. The official license for the newest version of Archicad cost more than the entire project’s material budget, and the town council’s coffers were already stretched thin. But the cracked software was a house of cards
Maya’s heart raced as she imagined a shortcut: a cracked copy that would let her run the software without spending a penny. The forum promised it would be “easy” and “undetectable.” She imagined the relief of finally being able to render her ideas, to experiment with the new parametric tools, and to present a dazzling 3D model that would wow the council and the townspeople. If you need more time, you’ll have to
Maya hesitated. The trial period would barely cover the remaining weeks, and she didn’t have the funds for a full license. But she also realized that every day she spent wrestling with the cracked program was a day she wasn’t designing, a day the community center’s construction was delayed.
She downloaded the file, ran the installer, and a glimmer of hope lit up her screen. The program launched, the interface was sleek, the tools were there. For the first few days, everything seemed perfect. Maya drafted the community center’s floor plan, added a sweeping roof, and even threw in a small rooftop garden. She saved the files, exported a few renders, and sent them to the council with a confident email: “Please find attached the preliminary design. I look forward to your feedback.”
Maya called the forum for help. The responses were vague, some even hostile: “You should have read the disclaimer,” or “You’re on your own.” The anonymity that had once felt protective now seemed like a cold wall. She realized she had no official support, no updates, and no recourse if something went wrong.
Our goal is to provide our members with the closest FMV (fair market value) for all the comics in their COVRPRICE collection. Our approach is as follows:
1) If no condition info is entered for a comic, we will show you the FMV for the most common condition of that comic.
2) If you’ve entered condition info, we will show you the FMV for that specific condition, when it’s available.
3) If that specific condition has no sale values available, we will show you the FMV for the most common condition of that comic (either raw or slabbed)
This approach helps to ensure that most of your comics have a reasonable value estimate based only on real sales data (not speculation).
The items below show how value information is displayed for raw and slabbed comics on the COVRPRICE value ribbon.
|
Indicates a raw comic with no grade info entered. In this case, we show the FMV for the most common condition. (i.e., NM $900) |
|
Indicates a raw comic with grade info entered at 9.6. Here the FMV ($1,234) is for a Raw 9.6 comic. |
|
Indicates a raw comic with no sales info available at any condition range. |
|
Indicates that the user entered a raw comic with a grade of 9.6. When there are no sales for that grade we show the FMV for the most common condition. (e.g., NM $900) |
|
Similar to the above example, when the only available FMV comes from the No Grade category, we show the word “Raw” next to the value instead of a specific category range. (e.g. RAW $900) |
|
Indicates a slabbed comic with grade info entered at 9.6. Here the FMV ($2,000) is for a CGC 9.6 comic. |
|
Indicates a slabbed comic with no sales available at any condition range. |
|
Indicates that the user entered a slabbed comic with the grade of 9.6. When there are no sales for that grade we show the FMV for the most common condition. (e.g. 8.0) |
