Hello, I have a question about CPG pricing on original series long-running titles especially DC like Superman, Batman, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, etc. The older 12 and 15cent books from the 1960's and early 1970's that maybe older collectors buy...? Perhaps mostly bought at conventions and less so on-line?? I don't know...
I have read some posts that explain how CPG determines pricing. As I understand, it seems to be based on actual ebay sales and other documented sales which may include recent price swings due to movies or popularity. Plus your own computer program which may blend the price across all grades.
For pricing guidance, I usually use your site plus Overstreet. I understand you are able to react to market prices much faster than a printed price guide that comes out only once a year. That's a great asset and I enjoy using your reference
Usually but not always, there is some amount of correlation to comic book pricing between leading prominent companies. Sometimes there are wide price differences. More rarely, there are books or runs which are separated by extreme price differences not explained by recent trends, movies, etc.
One such book is Detective #405. Current value for 9.2 CPG is $48 while 2019 Overstreet is $415.
Would this be something to review?

Thank you for your replies. I did not know the League of Assassins were featured in a movie.
I have seen some but not all comic related movies. They seem to be great stand-alone entertainment but separate from the books . I don't follow the movies much. Because my passion is for the original books, the art and the stories. The continuity that was there for decades. And the way it sometimes blended with real life Americana.
