I track the value of my collection every day or two. Sometimes I'll see that my collection has increased in value by, say, $50, without adding any comics to the database. I go see which books have changed in value and their individual changes don't add up to $50. It might add up to only $20. Why am I not seeing everything? Am I doing something incorrectly?

The gains and loss page only shows the last 15 days and the drop down box only shows the last 10 changes so maybe it's possible you have a total value change from gains and losses but some are past the 15 days and not showing and that page since it's past the 15 days since the change occurred? I'm guessing here so maybe it's something else.

Two rare occurrences that might cause this. One is that there were duplicate listings of the same comic in the system, each with a different value, and an administrator merged the two listings...your comic would have moved into that merged listing and if it didn't have the same value it wouldn't show as a value change. Two, when making a valuation change an administrator either didn't like the value the algorithm spewed out for all grades and manually changed a few, or an error was made and corrected...you would only see the change from the most recent adjustment. This is not something I would expect to see on a regular basis though, but it does happen

If you are a paying member there are two places where you can see value changes.
The recent value change page
https://comicspriceguide.com/value-changes/

This page only shows the books that had a change in the raw 9.4 So yesterday we adjusted some lower grades up but kept the 9.4 at the same price. That change won't appear on the recent value change page.

The second page that shows more specific information is the My gains and drops page
https://comicspriceguide.com/gains-drops/

This page shows the gains and drops for your specific book in the grade you have cataloged. If you have a 5.0 that went up you can see it there. It's much more specific to your collection.
I hope that helps,
Ron
