A comic is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. With this in mind, CovrPrice only displays actual sales data (taken across multiple online marketplaces… not just eBay) to help you better determine the best value for your comics.
Our goal for this graph is to show overall sales trends for officially graded comics. Here we take the average for each condition and display it as a data point. To see the most recent sales data for each condition be sure to look at the individual sales data listed in the tables below.
“I sold a comic last week, why isn’t it showing up on your site?”
At CovrPrice, we capture tens of thousands of sales DAILY. It’s simply impossible for a human to determine the authenticity of every sale coming our way. (Trust us, we’ve tried) To ensure the quality of our data we error on the side of caution, valuing accuracy over quantity. We only integrate sales for comics that our robots are confident are correct. While we don’t capture 100% of every sale in the market we’re getting closer and closer to that goal. If you think we missed a sale that you want to be entered into CovrPrice just contact us at [email protected] with information about the sale and our humans will investigate and add it for you.
That’s easy, when listing your comics for sale on 3rd party marketplaces be sure you include the following: Comic Title, Issue #, Issue Year, Variant Info (usually the cover artists last name), and Grade info.
For example Captain Marvel #1 (2015) - Hughes Variant - CGC 9.8
This will help our robots better identify and sort your sales more accurately.
×: Features massive 50x70cm softboxes to diffuse light evenly.
: Boasts a high CRI of 95, making it an excellent fill light for texture work.
: Place your key light at an acute angle to the subject. This casts tiny shadows behind every hair and skin pore, vastly increasing visible depth.
Capturing high-detail texture photography—often searched for in the context of capturing hyper-realistic skin and hair patterns—requires a specific blend of advanced camera technology, specialized optics, and precision lighting. Whether you are aiming for commercial beauty shots, dermatology-grade imaging, or extreme macro art, standard photography setups often fall short of revealing microscopic details.
: Allows you to shift between warm and cool color temperatures to highlight different skin complexions. Pro-Tips for Texture Photography
To capture fine textures without noise interference, modern mirrorless cameras with Back-Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensors are essential. Advanced AI-driven autofocus systems are also critical for maintaining sharp focus on minute subjects like hair follicles. Camera Model Key Features for Texture Photography 25.2MP BSI CMOS sensor and Phase Detection AF. Nikon Z5 II Large full-frame sensor and deep-learning AI autofocus. Sony Alpha A6100 Real-time Eye AF and compact handling. 2. Specialized Macro Optics
: Shooting wide open (like at f/2.8) yields a razor-thin depth of field. Stop down to f/8 or f/11 to ensure the entire textured surface remains in focus. If you would like to expand your studio, let me know:
To achieve "life-size" or greater magnification, dedicated macro lenses are vastly superior to standard zooms. Lenses offering 1:1 to 5:1 magnification ratios allow for extreme close-ups that reveal patterns invisible to the naked eye.
