Comic book value checker & scanner
Scan a cover and Minti identifies the title, issue, publisher, and variant, flags whether it's a key issue, and shows what it's worth from PriceCharting and live eBay listings, graded and raw. Catalog your longboxes and sell the ones you're ready to part with.
How much is your comic book worth?
Cover price tells you nothing about today's market. Minti values every book against PriceCharting sales data and live eBay listings for the same title, issue, and printing, showing both graded and raw comps, so a modern variant, a bronze-age key, or a common back-issue each get a number grounded in the current market.
- Live value from PriceCharting and live eBay listings, matched to the exact issue
- Graded and raw pricing so you can weigh the slab premium
- Every comparable listing is shown, and removing a bad match recalculates the value
- Price history across 7-day, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year windows, with Pro
Spot the key issues
The value is in the details, and Minti reads them. It identifies the exact title, issue number, and publisher, and flags what makes a book collectible, including first appearances, origin issues, and notable variants, so you don't overlook the gem hiding in a common-looking box.
- Recognizes major and indie publishers across every era
- Separates printings, newsstand vs direct, and variant covers
- Auto-fills title, issue, and condition so your entry stays clean
See graded vs raw at a glance
Thinking about pressing or slabbing a book? Minti shows a graded price next to raw comps for the same issue, so you can see the grading premium and decide whether sending a book off to CGC or CBCS is worth it, before you pay the fees.
You can also run a Grade Check before you commit. It reads your photos, estimates the book's condition, and predicts a likely CGC or CBCS grade, so you have a realistic expectation to weigh against submission fees. Grade Check is metered: 10 checks a month on Pro and 100 on Collector, with a locked preview on the free tier.
