  1. Wow, what a journey you've had collecting. I'm in my early 30s and can't help but wonder if I'll ever be able to let go of my collection when the time comes. It's amazing to hear about your dedication and the incredible Golden and Silver Age comics you've accumulated. I'll definitely check out your auctions before they end. Best of luck with the sales and thank you for sharing your story.
  2. Hey Danimal66, When it comes to pricing your comic books, especially autographed and like-new condition issues, using reliable price guides is crucial. Here are three of the most widely respected comic book price guides, along with an introduction to a new platform, Underval. Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide Often considered the "bible" of comic book collectors, the Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide has been a cornerstone in the industry since 1970. It offers detailed pricing information, historical data, and market trends, making it a go-to resource for both novice and experienced collectors. Overstreet is particularly well-regarded for its comprehensive coverage of both mainstream and obscure titles. Comic Book Realm Comic Book Realm is a popular online resource offering an extensive database of comic book prices. The site allows users to track their collections, view market trends, and see real-time updates on comic book values. It’s frequently updated, making it a reliable choice for those looking to stay current with market fluctuations. GoCollect GoCollect specializes in providing real-time sales data from various marketplaces, including eBay. It offers detailed analytics, such as past sales history and trends, which can help you gauge the current market value of your comics. GoCollect is especially useful for those who want up-to-date information and comprehensive market insights. Underval Underval is an innovative new platform designed to help collectors identify and purchase undervalued comics. Unlike traditional price guides, Underval provides several advanced metrics, including Fair Market Value (FMV), Market Value (MV), CAGR, Correlation and volume indicators. These metrics help you assess whether a comic is experiencing increased interest, which can indicate liquidity and potential future value. Users can obtain metrics by title, issue, and grade, allowing for precise and informed decision-making. Using these guides in combination can give you a well-rounded view of your comic's value. Each has its strengths, and by leveraging their unique features, you can ensure you're getting the most accurate pricing for your comics. I hope this information helps you in pricing your comics accurately and effectively. Ian T Anderson
  3. Hey friends, I've been pouring my heart into a project for the past several months, aiming to identify undervalued CGC comics. As a kid, I collected comic books mainly for the joy of drawing the pictures within them. But as I grew older, life took over, and my passion faded into the background... until one night on eBay changed everything. Scrolling through, I stumbled upon a graded Amazing Spider-Man comic, and it reignited my love for comics. I spent an entire weekend analyzing and purchasing comics, but I struggled to find services that truly identified undervalued gems. So, I took matters into my own hands, manually crunching historical data and running statistical analyses. But it was time-consuming and exhausting. That's why I created https://www.underval.com/ to automate the process and make it easier to identify and purchase undervalued comics. Recently, I scored Amazing Spider-Man #124, grade 9.2, and Amazing Spider-Man #194, grade 9.0, for nearly 30% under Fair Market value! Of course, comics aren't just about financial gain. They're about owning a piece of history and reliving nostalgia. But buying smartly under fair value gives you a margin of safety and the potential for increased returns over time. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the project! If you've read this far, thank you for your time. Your feedback means the world to me.
