So You Want to Sell Your Comics?

Comicbookman916, If you are a paying member you can sell here with no other fees. That is the best deal in the comic book world.
Here is a video that will walk you through it.

If you want to sell your entire collection go to this link and Quality comics will make you an offer on what they are interested in.

Blooms,
On the site, you can see raw and graded prices. Let me show you an example of the best practices for whether you should grade or not. Look at Tomb of Dracula 1
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tomb-of-dracula/1/pipy
Click on the Values tab.
Notice that the graded price is always higher for this specific book but you need to consider the grading costs as well. For CBCS the grading cost for this book is $40 so everything above a 2.5 is worth grading. On another book the lowest grade that you should send off could be dramatically different.
Look at Tomb of Dracula 60 which has no first appearances or special things about it.
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tomb-of-dracula/60/wbxrb
For this book, everything below a 4.0 is the same value with raw or graded. Since it's a newer book the cost of grading is $24 it's not worth grading with anything below a 9.0.
I hope this helps,

I created a new title for it and added the correct cover scans. By the way, we do not use the cover scans that have "mycomicshop" imprinted on them. It's a common issue with submissions.

The state of comics and Comics Price Guide
RonbatmanAdministrator

Each year I like to give a general report about the industry and site so here is the 2022 review.
2022 was a reset year for the industry. The hype that enveloped the end of 2020 and 2021 gave way to more reasonable values in 2022. This is a healthier market as the new comic values try to find a balance between fear and optimism. We are still seeing some books go up while others are declining which is a sustainable market, unlike the previous year. The influx of new collectors has slowed but knowledge is increasing. As the community learns more about the hobby which we love, there is a leveling out of some of the outlier comic book values.
For Comics Price Guide we set records for free members, paying members, the number of price updates, the number of cover scans, and the number of UPCs. We are almost at 1.2 million books in our database, about double the next closest competitor. Thank you to our members, admins, and staff for making this our best year yet! That's 4 years in a row of big increases!
This year we added several new features or pages.
1. We added UPC and ISBN numbers to the search field
2. We added a key issue filter which makes looking up key comics easier.
3. We added a free evaluation if you want to sell your collection in partnership with Quality Comix.
4. We added the comic type to the search field to help members find annuals and king-sized issues faster.
5. We launched the new dashboard with everything in a single place. Plus we added 5 new collection graphs and a hot and cold list.
In the future, we are going to be moving much faster than ever before. We have been working on our data speed, new functionality, and expanding our offerings. One of the big changes we are working on will transform the market. No joke. Get ready for the copycats to try and emulate what we have planned. For now, that's about all I can tell you but be on the lookout for emails from us.
Thanks,
Ron Cloer

When you are looking for foreign variants of a title there are two ways to find it easily.
Do a search for Amazing Spider-man with the default settings. Click on the correct volume for that title.
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/amazing-spider-man-the/siww
Just below the title there is a light orange area with alternate publisher. For Spider-man that includes Whitman, UK, Canadian and Australia.
Or you can search by country to find the correct title.

I changed the title to

I kept the numbering because the book has the number. I added in a search function for the old title in case someone looks by that.
