Everything in Pro

Values and history

The value of every issue, at every grade

Not just the keys. Every issue we track, from 10.0 down to 0.5, slabbed and raw side by side, so you know a fair price for the exact copy in front of you.

  • Every grade, slab and raw: CGC values next to raw ones, each with a low–high range so you can see how firm it is.
  • Value history charts for every grade, so you can see if a book is climbing or cooling before you buy or sell.
  • Every edition valued on its own: newsstand, direct, named variants and later printings each get their own value.
CGC 9.8 by editionExample
Direct edition$1,240▲ 12.4%
Newsstand$1,850▲ 18.0%
Virgin variant$3,100▼ 4.2%
2nd printing$310▲ 2.1%

Change over the last year · range $1,090–$1,410 for the direct edition

Comic grading

Grade your comics the way CGC does

Answer one condition question at a time, with the book in your hands, and watch the grade settle as you go. The grader follows The Official CGC Guide to Grading Comics, defect by defect.

  • 30 questions from structure and pages to spine ticks, corners and gloss, worded so you don't need to know the jargon.
  • The label too: it flags restoration, signatures and clipped coupons that would mean a restored, qualified or Signature Series label.
  • Photos of each defect, kept with the copy and drawn into its report.
  • Grade any issue, even one you're only thinking of buying, and see what it's worth at the grade you get.

Grading break-even

Find out if slabbing pays, before you pay the fees

Grading costs money and weeks of waiting. See what a copy gains as a CGC slab against selling it raw, after CGC's fee and shipping, so you only send in the books that are worth it.

  • Worth grading? on every raw copy in your collection: how much more it's worth slabbed, after costs.
  • A break-even price: the most you can pay for a raw copy at the grade you expect and still come out ahead.
  • Filter your collection to just the books worth sending in.

Grade reports

A grade report you can show a buyer

Every copy you grade gets a report: the estimated grade, every defect in plain words, and your photos of each one.

  • A PDF report for each graded copy, ready to save or print.
  • A share link that opens the report for anyone, no account needed. Turn it off whenever you like.
  • Copy for eBay: a short grade summary to paste straight into a listing.

  • What it's worth and how you're doing: your total, and paid vs worth across every copy with a price paid.
  • Value history for each copy, at its own grade and edition.
  • Find anything fast: filter like spider-man cgc 9.8 over $100, or by key, year, publisher, risers and fallers.

Questions

Where do the values come from?

They're grailworth's own fair market values, worked out from each issue's market and how value moves with grade across every comic we track. They're estimates, not appraisals, so use them alongside your own eye for a copy.

How does the free trial work?

The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You won't be charged if you cancel before it ends. The monthly plan starts right away.

Is anything free?

Yes. The fair market value of every key issue is free to see, no account needed. Start with the key wall. So are the market trends. Pro unlocks every other issue, the grader and its reports, the grading break-even and your collection.

Is the grade an official CGC grade?

No. It's an estimate from your answers, following the standards in The Official CGC Guide to Grading Comics. It tells you what to expect and whether sending a book in pays, but only CGC can put a book in a CGC slab.

What happens to my collection if I cancel?

It stays in your account, with your grades, photos and reports. Join again and it's all there, valued as of that day.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Cancel whenever you like from your membership page and you keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. No further charges.

What if a value looks wrong?

Tell us at [email protected] with the issue and what you're seeing. It helps us make the estimates better.

Your next grail is out there.

Know what it's worth before anyone else at the table.
