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.

Because early episodes of long-running series often undergo re-numbering or are compiled into different sets, finding specific details on "Episode 15" can vary depending on the archival source. You can often find verified episode logs and performer credits through industry databases such as the IAFD (Internet Adult Film Database)
The traditional "Big Five" studios—Paramount, Warner Bros., Universal, Columbia (Sony), and Disney—built their empires on a model of vertical integration: control over production, distribution, and exhibition. But the modern iteration of their power lies not in physical theaters but in intellectual property (IP). The reigning king of this model is Walt Disney Studios.

Disney’s genius has been its ruthless, loving curation of a closed mythological universe. It began with fairy tales—Snow White, Cinderella—stories of innocence, loss, and magical redemption. But under CEO Bob Iger, Disney pivoted to a new mythology: the franchise. The acquisitions of Pixar (2006), Marvel (2009), Lucasfilm (2012), and 20th Century Fox (2019) were not just business deals; they were acquisitions of modern mythologies. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the apotheosis of the franchise model—a multi-billion-dollar, interlocking narrative spanning over 30 films and a dozen series, where each individual "production" is both a standalone story and a chapter in an endless serial. Disney’s "popular entertainment" is therefore defined by intertextuality and seriality. We no longer just watch a movie; we invest in a universe.
No single production model has been more influential than Marvel Studios’ "cinematic universe." Unlike a traditional sequel, a universe requires a "master narrative architecture"—a 10-year plan where each production is a chapter in a larger serial. This demands unprecedented coordination between writers, directors, and VFX houses. The success of The Avengers (2012) led to the "shared universe" becoming the default structure for blockbuster production, imitated (often poorly) by DC, Universal’s Dark Universe, and even Sony’s Spider-Verse.

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) |
