    Why a Price Guide Number Is Only a Starting Point for Comic Values

    A comic book values price guide gives a reference figure for a title, issue and grade, but it is not what a particular copy will sell for. The real value comes from the exact condition of your copy and what comparable copies have recently sold for.

    When Was Wonder Woman Created? All Star Comics #8, 1941

    Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston and artist H. G. Peter and first appeared in All Star Comics #8, published by DC Comics with a cover date of December 1941 – January 1942. That issue is the original Wonder Woman comic that collectors mean by her first appearance.

    How CGC Grade, Page Quality and Label Set the Price of a Slabbed Comic

    The value of CGC graded comics is set by the numeric grade, the page quality noted on the label, the label type (including any restoration), and demand for that specific issue. The only reliable figure is what the same issue in the same grade recently sold for.

  • Grading

    The Comic Grading Scale: What Each Grade Means and How It Moves Value

    The comic grading scale used by CGC and CBCS runs from 0.5 to 10.0, with higher numbers meaning fewer defects. Graders judge the whole book, including spine, corners, page quality and restoration, and because collectors pay for condition, a small change in grade can change the price noticeably.
