I can help a little here Generally, we do not post FMV data if there is not enough data to pull from. We do, however, use the sales of some grades to factor in the estimations of grades that haven't sold recently. For example, there are Golden Age comics that may have quite a few recent sales for lower grades while very few higher grades have recently sold. If we have enough stable data, we can use those lower sales and apply an algorithm based on similar books with more data to provide an estimation of the higher grades that may not have data on them yet. So if 3.0's - .5's stably climb in value which causes the 3.0-.5's FMV to rise, statistically, that's going to make a 9.0 a certain amount more valuable so that would be reflected in the estimated FMV. Typically, if there is no sales data for a grade, but we formulated and estimated FMV, it will be marked.

Unfortunately we can't use IG data as they don't comply with our transparency clause. Until Instagram creates a method of compliance at least.

How did you reach out? Our dev team is usually really responsive so if there is a way people are reaching out that we are missing I'd love to address that. We really rely on our community so I hate to hear we dropped the ball somewhere.
