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. sketchy videos work
“I sold a comic last week, why isn’t it showing up on your site?” They manage expectations
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. If you can see the scene, you know the material
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.

For a long time, marketing was about —showing people a life they wanted to have (perfect skin, perfect house, perfect car).
For decades, consumer marketing relied on aspiration. Brands built perfection. High-end cameras, professional actors, perfect color grading, and flawless scripts told audiences what to buy.
Film within TikTok or Instagram to ensure the video has the "native" look and feel.
But if you scroll through TikTok, Instagram Reels, or even YouTube Shorts right now—really scroll—you will notice an uncomfortable truth. The videos going viral are not the cinematic masterpieces. They are the shaky, grainy, poorly lit, "I just woke up" clips.
Despite breaking every traditional rule of production value, these unpolished videos consistently outperform million-dollar ad campaigns. They capture millions of views, drive massive engagement, and build fierce brand loyalty.
Polish signals "mass market." Sketchy signals "insider knowledge."
