How it works
One account for everything on your shelf
Comicmodity is built around a single idea: every book you log is a real, specific copy. That record powers your valuations, your trades and your pack pulls.
01 · Collect
Build a collection that knows the difference between covers
Search the catalog by series name and, optionally, issue number. Open any issue to see Cover A and every variant listed for it, then add the exact one on your shelf.
- 1Search a series, e.g. “Saga” or “Amazing Spider-Man”
- 2Open the issue and pick the cover you own
- 3Enter what you paid, the currency and the condition
- 4Repeat for each copy, even duplicates of the same cover
02 · Value
See what your collection is worth, not just what you paid
Each copy is matched to a fair market value for its condition bucket. Your portfolio shows total value, total paid and the gap between them, with a daily snapshot for the trend line.
- 1FMV set per condition: Raw NM, Raw VF, CGC 9.8 and more
- 2Portfolio total, cost basis and profit or loss
- 3Nightly snapshots for a 30-day trend
- 4Breakdown by publisher and era
03 · Trade
Swap duplicates with collectors who have what you want
Flag books you'd trade and list the ones you want. Offers can include cash to balance the values. Both sides ship with tracking, and money only moves when books arrive as described.
- 1Make or receive an offer, with optional cash top-up
- 2Ship within 72 hours and upload tracking
- 3Confirm receipt, or open a dispute with photos
- 4Rate the trade so the next collector knows
04 · Open
Open packs where the math is on the table
Choose a tier, see the seed hash before you pay, and reveal your pull. The books are reserved from real inventory and shipped to you, and the seed is published so you can verify the roll.
- 1Pick Standard, Premium or Grail Hunt
- 2Check the published odds and floor value
- 3Reveal your pull and verify the roll
- 4Keep, trade or sell back what you pulled
Trust & safety
The rules that keep trades honest
- Trade eligibility requires front, back and spine photos
- Cash is held until the receiving side confirms
- Missed shipping deadlines cancel the trade and refund top-ups
- Disputes freeze the trade and go to a human reviewer
- Repeat offenders receive strikes and lose trading access
- Every trade, pack open and value change is audit-logged
Start with one book.
The rest of the platform builds on what you log.
