The Comic Tracking App Like No Other.
Read them, collect them, or both, with all the passion you bring to it: ComicValuator is the one app to catalogue it all.
Most comic apps list what you own. ComicValuator also tells you which variant you have, what it is worth at its estimated grade, and whether grading would pay, and updates them daily.
The catalogue behind it
Comic data from the Grand Comics Database; market values from PriceCharting sales data.
Three questions every collector asks
ComicValuator answers them for every comic you own, not just the famous ones.
Which one do I have?
Direct or newsstand, a second printing, a Mark Jewelers insert, a virgin cover: the variant changes the value. ComicValuator lists every variant, so you see the value of your copy.
What is it worth?
A value for every variant, raw and at every grade, including the estimated grade of your copy. Where the market has no price, ComicValuator works one out from the grades around it and shows it in orange, so you know which numbers are estimates.
Should I get it graded?
A clear yes, no, or maybe: the graded value minus the right grading fee, against the raw value. Upsider finds the raw comics with the most profit left after grading.
Only on ComicValuator
Things other comic apps don't have, because they take people and work, not just a database.
A certified person grades your comic
Collectors who pass our grading exam every year and look at your comic in hand. Not an AI guess from a photo.

Each grade, owner, and sale is fingerprinted on a public blockchain, so nobody, including us, can quietly change your comic's record.
Planned Only on ComicValuatorA value for every variant, at your estimated grade
Every variant gets its own value, even when nobody has sold it at that grade, worked out from the grades and variants around it. Not even PriceCharting does that.

Stack searches on creators, notes, variants, and more, then narrow by value, year, grade, and ROI.
Live todayScan the whole cover with your phone.
Photograph the cover on any table, at any angle. ComicValuator reads the title, issue number, publisher, and year, lets you correct anything, and opens the issue with every variant listed. It reads the barcode too.
The value of your copy, not just the issue.
Direct, newsstand, a reprint, a facsimile, a Mark Jewelers insert: each variant has its own value. ComicValuator lists them side by side, raw and graded, so you add the one you own. Each has a value at your estimated grade, even when nobody has sold it at that grade, worked out from the grades and variants around it. Not even PriceCharting does that.
Should you get it graded? A straight answer.
Every comic gets a yes, no, or maybe: its graded value at your estimated grade, minus the right grading fee, against its raw value. Every check behind it is shown.
Your whole collection, valued every day.
See what your collection is worth, what you paid, and what grading could add. A daily chart shows what went up, what went down, and what you added.

Only on ComicValuator
A person grades your comic. Not an app.
Some apps now guess a grade from a phone photo. A photo cannot show a pressed-out crease, a color touch on the spine, a replaced staple, or a trimmed edge, and those are what move a comic from 9.8 to 9.0. ComicValuator won't ask you to trust a guess.
Certified, and re-certified every year
Our valuators are collectors who pass our grading exam every year. They grade the comic in hand, the way the grading companies do.
Someone in your own back yard
The goal is a valuator near you, someone you can hand the comic to and ask questions. Their pre-grade tells you whether CGC or CBCS is worth the fee before you pay it.
$5 a comic
A professional pre-grade is $5 a comic, and the grade goes straight into your collection, so your values rest on a grade a person stands behind.
Meet James Gatewood of Woodgate Comics, our first valuator. He cleans and presses comics, and a New Mutants #98 he worked on went from a CGC 6.0 to a 7.5. See his work

What's coming
The plan is one app for the whole life of a comic: finding it, buying it, reading it, grading it, proving its history, and selling it.
One-tap adding
Pick the variant and add it. Values, grading calls, and returns are worked out in the background, from your own defaults for grade and price paid.
Read and favorite marks
Mark what you have read and what you love, per variant, and filter your collection by them.
Verified history on the blockchain Only on ComicValuator
A shareable certificate of a comic's grades, owners, and sales. Each event's fingerprint is written to a public blockchain, so the record cannot be quietly changed, by anyone. Proof of provenance that travels with the book.
Find a valuator near you Only on ComicValuator
A directory of certified valuators by location, with their record and ratings, so you can pick someone local and hand them the comic.

Send it to the grader from here
The service, tier, and declared value ComicValuator already picks become your grading submission.
Smarter value alerts
Trends and buy-or-sell signals from a comic's own history, plus the things that move prices: sold listings, movie and TV announcements, and conventions.

How many copies were printed and how each variant sold, so you can see why a value is what it is.
Reading log
Track what you have read, crossover reading orders, and re-reads, separate from what you own.
