GPA Surpasses 7 Million Sales — Over $2.25 Billion in Logged Transactions
This month, GPAnalysis quietly crossed a significant threshold — 7,007,721 logged sales of CGC-graded comics, pulps, and collectibles.
The total recorded transaction value? A staggering $2.25 billion USD.
Behind every data point is a story: a grail won, a key book sold, a market shift in motion. And with over two decades of meticulously logged data, GPA remains the gold standard for collectors who want more than just guesses — they want clarity.
🧠 Where GPA Fits in the Hobby
Founded in 2001, GPA was the first platform to bring real-world pricing data to the graded comic market. It offers a searchable, subscription-based database of actual recorded sales, with each entry tied to a specific:
Title and issue number
Grade and label (Universal, Signature, Qualified, etc.)
Variant or pedigree (e.g., Newsstand, Price Variant, White Mountain)
Sale price and date
CGC Certification lookup
From mainstream auction records to niche dealer sales, GPA compiles and verifies thousands of transactions per month — giving collectors a real-time snapshot of how the market behaves.
🧾 The Power of 7 Million Sales
Crossing 7 million transactions isn’t just a milestone — it’s momentum. It signals a thriving market where collectors and investors alike are seeking more transparency and more innovative tools.
The result? A database that:
Covers every era, from the Platinum Age to the Modern
Tracks high-grade blue chips and low-pop sleepers
Logs sales velocity, not just top-dollar records
Supports trend analysis for grades, labels, and variants
In a market that often moves on hype, GPA brings the receipts.
