How a comic value scanner works

You take a photo of the cover. Slabsta compares it to a catalog of hundreds of thousands of issues, reads the title and issue number, and checks the barcode when it can see one. Once the exact issue is found, you see a price estimate for it.

Why the exact issue matters

Two books with the same title can be worth very different amounts: a first printing versus a reprint, a newsstand versus a direct edition, a key cover variant versus the regular cover. A scanner that only guesses the series is not enough, so Slabsta shows the matched issue and lets you pick a different one if needed.

Raw or graded

For a raw (ungraded) book you pick an approximate grade and the price adjusts. For CGC and CBCS slabs, the grade and cert number are read off the label.

Tips for an accurate scan

Fill the frame with the cover, avoid glare from bags and slab cases, and shoot in even light. If the book is bagged, tilt it slightly to remove reflections.
