Is there a way to see the cost basis of my comics as a whole. I put in the cost I paid for every comic when adding a book and would like to see if I can see what I paid for my whole collection to what it is worth now. Is this possible?

I don't see why we couldn't do that. Let me talk to our programmer.

I don't put in my costs for that very reason.

If you export a box to a PDF file and you have a newer version of Microsoft Word - Word will open the PDF file and you can manipulate it copy into Excel. They you can manipulate the numbers to get a cost of comics bought for each box.

Folk have has been suggesting CPG provide a feature to export Your Box directly to Excel. I am sure the programming for this is quite difficult and CPG has been reluctant to undertake this task.

Oh I didn't realize the export box had those values. If cost basis isn't added I'll just have to take the time to export everything and slog through it. Cost basis would be easy to add to the priceguide since it is already taking the value of the current value and would just have to switch to the cost value input. For example GPA has cost basis which I use but unfortunately it is only for slabs.
