The monitored books

Our charts compare this selected pool of established original-edition collectibles. They do not claim to rank every comic in the market. New releases remain in the Daily Feed.

Each chart requires reported trading activity and a verified positive price change between comparable observations 5–9 days apart. A high value alone does not qualify. Books with flat prices, falling prices or insufficient comparison history do not enter the charts. Lists contain only qualifying gainers and may be shorter than ten or twenty books. The pool is an editorial selection, while weekly ordering follows the published scoring rules.
