On a different note would you happen to know if a buyer can submit a sale to GPA? I bought a book recently on Amazon & would like to report it to them They track Heritage. Don't believe they track comiclink. I don't think GPA would accept data from a buyer but you can certainly contact GPA and ask. I'm guessing GPA doesn't track sales from Amazon or Facebook. Thought I should also mention that GPA won't record a sale if it's obvious the auction has been shilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe c-link lists books that were sold in their site though I could be wrong on that. Contacted GPA on the book (ASM 148) & never got a response. Oh well, I gave it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having to call various resellers to verify prices for books they've sold so that it can be entered into a database. That would be insane.

I'll have to look them up and see if what's online is available in store. They seem to have fair pricing. How do you compare their grading?

Well it was just on a whim I decided to search Amazon for that book since after searching forever I couldn't find it anywhere in a 9.6 cgc (non signed). Low & behold there it was! It was a pretty fair price definitely within range. I searched their eBay & Amazon stores & the one I bought was probably the only cgc bronze age book they had. Don't know how to compare their grading since I mostly buy cgc cbcs & almost never raw books Edited December 18, 2017 by MGsimba77 ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a 7.0 would be in the middle of that range. Then you can search eBay for something like "amazing spiderman 51" and see what a Fine/Very Fine or a 7.0 is going for. GPA is a paid service that shows the value of slabbed books from certain web sites: http://comics.gpanalysis.com/ Also watch auction closes on ComicLink.com and Comicconnect.com, mycomicshop.com and the sales threads on the boards. Good Luck! -bc I just subscribed to GPA, how do you look up what books are worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a ton of titles with that name. The main run is under: Amazing Spider-Man, The (1963) Edited December 20, 2017 by october aardvark88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click the Spider-man title you want and you'll go to a list of the issues within that title. Click the issue # you want to look up and you'll get data by year. If you click any year you'll get all the recorded sales for that year. You can reduce the number of search results by adding the year the first issue was published - eg Spider-man 1963. You can also save a search by clicking 'Add this title to my titles' which is displayed at the top right of a search result. Yodisd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
