How are the comic values determined?
cfarrow2112 Posts: 3 5/19/2018	cfarrow2112 Posts: 3 Hello, I'm relatively new to comic book collecting. I've just started purchasing some CGC graded comics as an investment opportunity. How accurate are the graded values posted in this database? How are they determined and maintained? Is this database considered the best on the internet? Thanks!

There are always anomalies where something sold for too much or too little but try to exclude those values. We determine prices by using the various places where comics are sold, Ebay, Heritage, ComicLink, local stores (when they are willing to share that info) and here on CPG. We aren't always correct because things are constantly changing but we do promise to look at any price you think is off. We will research it and then get back to you about it or change our pricing. There isn't another database with pricing for over 1 million comics. So yes, I'd say we are by far the best. (not perfect but striving to be that) Ron
