A comic is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. With this in mind, CovrPrice only displays actual sales data (taken across multiple online marketplaces… not just eBay) to help you better determine the best value for your comics.
Our goal for this graph is to show overall sales trends for officially graded comics. Here we take the average for each condition and display it as a data point. To see the most recent sales data for each condition be sure to look at the individual sales data listed in the tables below.
“I sold a comic last week, why isn’t it showing up on your site?”
At CovrPrice, we capture tens of thousands of sales DAILY. It’s simply impossible for a human to determine the authenticity of every sale coming our way. (Trust us, we’ve tried) To ensure the quality of our data we error on the side of caution, valuing accuracy over quantity. We only integrate sales for comics that our robots are confident are correct. While we don’t capture 100% of every sale in the market we’re getting closer and closer to that goal. If you think we missed a sale that you want to be entered into CovrPrice just contact us at [email protected] with information about the sale and our humans will investigate and add it for you.
That’s easy, when listing your comics for sale on 3rd party marketplaces be sure you include the following: Comic Title, Issue #, Issue Year, Variant Info (usually the cover artists last name), and Grade info.
For example Captain Marvel #1 (2015) - Hughes Variant - CGC 9.8
This will help our robots better identify and sort your sales more accurately.
×Need to avoid any real-world taboos unless it's fictionalized. Check if the user is looking for horror, thriller, or maybe even a cautionary tale. The title's structure suggests a project or experiment, so a lab setting might be appropriate. Maybe include elements like corporate experimentation or government projects going wrong.
I need to make sure the story isn't promoting anything unethical or illegal. The user might be looking for a science fiction or dystopian narrative. Since the user mentioned "deep story," it should have layers, perhaps exploring ethical dilemmas, character development, or societal critique. PureTaboo.22.04.26.Kenzie.Anne.Serial.Breeder.X...
Avoid clichés but use familiar enough concepts to be engaging. Maybe add a twist, like the protagonist being a creation themselves, adding depth to their motivation. Need to avoid any real-world taboos unless it's
Her birth (if it could be called that) was on . Raised in a sterile amber-lit environment, she knew no mother, no father. Only Dr. Elara Voss, her reluctant architect, who haunted her with questions: "Would you forgive me if you knew what I intended for your children?" The Taboo But genetic perfection comes at a cost. Kenzie discovered early that her cells held a curse —a self-replicating gene sequence embedded by Serial Breeder X to force her to produce offspring. Each pregnancy would trigger an evolution, spurring new mutations in the next generation. The "breeding" was voluntary for Kenzie, yet the gene sequence ensured infanticide or maternal death after each cycle. A horror hidden in her biology. The Rebellion Kenzie resisted, but resistance had limits. When she escaped the lab at age 24, the world she found was not her ally. Governments, fearing her kind, branded "Serial Breeder" descendants as bioterror weapons. Yet the street found her a kind of hero—a living myth. Kenzie became a courier for rebel scientists, using her enhanced mind and body to smuggle data drives of stolen biotech research. But with every mission, her body screamed at the cost of survival: her womb, a time bomb ticking toward the first cycle . The Cycle In the climax of her story, Kenzie confronts Dr. Voss, now hunted by Serial Breeder X itself. The company, fearing exposure, wants to terminate all prototypes. Voss offers Kenzie a choice: accept a forced sterilization to become truly "human," or embrace her role as a mother to a future species. Kenzie’s answer is devastating. She chooses neither. Using the very code they implanted in her DNA, she triggers a mutation that absorbs the self-replicating gene , rendering it inert. Since the user mentioned "deep story," it should
Need to make sure the names are consistent. "PureTaboo" could be a project name, a corporation, or a code. "22.04.26" is the date—April 26, 2022? Or maybe in another format. Clarify the timeline in the story to avoid confusion.
I should outline a plot that uses the title elements. Maybe set in a future where cloning or genetic engineering is common. Kenzie Anne could be a scientist or a figure in this field. The serial number "X" might indicate a prototype or project code. The date could be an important event in the story.
Our goal is to provide our members with the closest FMV (fair market value) for all the comics in their COVRPRICE collection. Our approach is as follows:
1) If no condition info is entered for a comic, we will show you the FMV for the most common condition of that comic.
2) If you’ve entered condition info, we will show you the FMV for that specific condition, when it’s available.
3) If that specific condition has no sale values available, we will show you the FMV for the most common condition of that comic (either raw or slabbed)
This approach helps to ensure that most of your comics have a reasonable value estimate based only on real sales data (not speculation).
The items below show how value information is displayed for raw and slabbed comics on the COVRPRICE value ribbon.
|
Indicates a raw comic with no grade info entered. In this case, we show the FMV for the most common condition. (i.e., NM $900) |
|
Indicates a raw comic with grade info entered at 9.6. Here the FMV ($1,234) is for a Raw 9.6 comic. |
|
Indicates a raw comic with no sales info available at any condition range. |
|
Indicates that the user entered a raw comic with a grade of 9.6. When there are no sales for that grade we show the FMV for the most common condition. (e.g., NM $900) |
|
Similar to the above example, when the only available FMV comes from the No Grade category, we show the word “Raw” next to the value instead of a specific category range. (e.g. RAW $900) |
|
Indicates a slabbed comic with grade info entered at 9.6. Here the FMV ($2,000) is for a CGC 9.6 comic. |
|
Indicates a slabbed comic with no sales available at any condition range. |
|
Indicates that the user entered a slabbed comic with the grade of 9.6. When there are no sales for that grade we show the FMV for the most common condition. (e.g. 8.0) |
