<h2>Why LEGO Sets</h2>
I've been a LEGO fan since I was a child. The only thing on my birthday and Christmas list from age 7-12 was LEGO sets. My favorite set was the <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/game/lego-space/mega-core-magnetizer-6989" target="_blank">Mega Core Magnetizer #6989</a>. In college I got into LEGO Mindstorm sets and built countless robots. I even designed a custom wedding LEGO piece for my wife and I to put on our wedding cake.<br>
<br>
With kids in the house I've gotten back into LEGO sets again and building sets and doing family build challenges ("Who can make the best castle in 30 minutes?").<br>
<br>
I wanted to add LEGO sets to PriceCharting because it's a collectible that I love and I know other people do too. I wanted a price guide and collection tools focused on collectors who build their sets, not just invest in LEGO sets.<br>
<br>
<br>
Some LEGO builds I've designed over the years.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align: center;"><img style="clear: both;" alt="LEGO Conveyor Belt and Dump Truck Ramp" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4912" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5AVCx7fpQkJr6_8zBFKYgiALj-XINYNdDVqtD-kCshTr8a9NnLm5vtKCjGbOXOCv7aqScyclEXKcgyVmJrw28lztU1ycevBKuzbkUf8JekYrKUaGPFeo8EqMpxIin5acdRmjGtMyZ4PJ1uBbXe2oZsn2L8AEAepIJ9FtMyarfE51EmWmi70wQc6UY/s400/Conveyor%20Belt%20%288%29.JPG"/>
<br>
Conveyor belt I built when my son loved dumping LEGO blocks from his dump truck. Mindstorm motors lifted truck and ran belt.

<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align: center;"><img style="clear: both;" alt="LEGO Wedding Cake Topper" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="4912" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAtDWx5aNeU3VGi6B1KYDv7QoyX_MJoxnWHsJoeSL9fcqoy43ooeJfk3vFTalypCRECLkxlN2oTXnkOSKeJw2SCCU_Eb-WAkAk4mavam97A_GgzCuMM3E2D6iTYUCazzupVwAT5gB9FOSQVJwuK3qPKEg5EI6NQlZz1JIe2tyxiIow0L54aasTp5cE/s400/Family.jpg"/>

LEGO Wedding Couple I designed for my wedding cake. The baby was added a couple years later for our baby announcement.

<br>
Click the blue "+" button in the price section on any item detail page. It's on the right side.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><img alt="More Price Points Button" border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit0WS5mln1eQz-NIXbs2eiUAeWXxflDWY30XnI8m0xxkqpjlEd8xc3CEfuY9-2utrQz4s52Uq1vMTX1bCcamRGPEB5diLqwXHDuqjjqcmRODi1O6WRBqyeGJEXnBawVCePrJ6lJ6ToJPqCUfkiecBHOZxDuzAc6D8_nq7NHaDOWARpJPyEcJcLlS-l/s1600/mantle-plus-button-splash.png"/></div>
<br>
That will take you to a full price list with all prices for all grades/conditions.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.sportscardspro.com/game/baseball-cards-1952-topps/mickey-mantle-311#full-prices" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="More Price Points" border="0" data-original-height="373" data-original-width="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirK99uameTtnVRhbUULlfaWcTH6Cfi7d-q044e3YLS2pzxxMLPUh3h21SYFuYv6h1g154kxhL97K-0eN3D0E-WYBCmyMpPtQ-bR6V5vpKY_dDhyphenhyphenDUdxKvvzFliUPRoyo_nPGDnGlL6U1pjhenYDEN_Dqm9Euzkb4xph5wkWW-HchcLCSnt92C9FwY-/s1600/mantle-full-prices.png"/></a></div>
<br>
<br>
Try it with <a href="https://www.sportscardspro.com/game/baseball-cards-1952-topps/mickey-mantle-311#full-prices" target="_blank">Mickey Mantle Rookie card</a> or <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-base-set/charizard-1st-edition-4#full-prices" target="_blank">Charizard #4 1st Edition</a><br>
<br>
These prices are based upon actual sales data we've been collecting for years.<br>
<br>
We are also giving you the ability to see all these historic sales for more grades/conditions too<br>
<br>
Click the drop down in "Sold Listings" tab and choose the grade you want to see. For example - Grade 6 for <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/trading-cards" target="_blank">cards</a>, Graded CIB for games, MS70 for <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/coins" target="_blank">coins</a>, or 9.6 for <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books" target="_blank">comics</a>.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><img alt="More Historic Sales" border="0" data-original-height="258" data-original-width="599" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj47P-lpPMY3PXxeT0Bjqasnuw1B8-8JCC2Nj61UI_DSd9HygxHXK0IBPTRgLzWSvnoxK0hR1YzrhbvuLZIzH3UgfAoD3aOFdPR1Lx_Lm6DTUmX_zfhJ2MbJO9SDxRJ2Q0gcDmy9klDtOgbBPiX1DgjfNPUkhzW2_UJsBygn_Y6UEua8WztYCKBfxAq/s1600/more-sales-lower-grades%20%281%29.jpg"/></div>
<br>
This is great for older cards with more sales in Grades 3-6. Or perfect for Graded CIB game collectors, coin, or comic collectors too.<br>
<br>
Hopefully this will help you make more informed decisions on all your collectible purchases, no matter what grade or condition they are in.

You can search <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/my-collection">your PriceCharting collection</a>.<br>
<br>
Type a search into the search box on the collection page (see above).<br>
<br>

We are now displaying graded population reports for trading cards including <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/pokemon-cards">Pokemon</a>, <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/yugioh-cards">YuGiOh</a>, <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/magic-cards">Magic</a>, and <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/garbage-pail-cards">Garbage Pail Kids cards</a>. You can now see the population/rarity of the card in a particular condition AND compare that along size the price data.<br>
<br>
On cards that support the POP reports, there is a "POP Report" tab right below the prices box. Click that to view the report and visualize the graded cards.<br>

Try it out on a few popular Charizard cards like <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-base-set/charizard-1st-edition-4">Charizard #4</a> or <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/game/pokemon-darkness-ablaze/charizard-vmax-20">Charizard VMAX #20</a>.<br>
<br>
We have thousands of cards with population reports already and we are adding more. We only display population data for popular and valuable cards - the cards that are worth getting graded. The population reports are very boring for common cards worth $0.25.
<br>
<br>
The graded population data comes from <a href="https://www.psacard.com/pop">PSA</a> (a big thank you to them for providing the data). We are in talks with other grading companies to get their data too so you can compare POP across vendors.<br>

<br>
Maybe you want to keep track of <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/pokemon-cards" target="_blank">pokemon cards</a> you've sent to PSA for grading - make a folder for that.<br>
Or <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/video-games" target="_blank">games</a> you still want to play from your collection - make a folder for that.<br>
Or <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books" target="_blank">comics</a> you lent to your buddy Jim and don't want to forget he has them - make a folder for that.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>How to Get Started With Folders</h2>
In <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/my-collection" target="_blank">your collection</a> click "Create Folder" link on one of your items.<br>
<img alt="Create First Collection Folder" border="0" data-original-height="285" data-original-width="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicVb17GVDRec9GbvKG-pqZ3wTlarHE8MhZmnmiASA3rD2n6372V8RovS2o15OjI_TSYmQHrLiQQW8n60oxOfjChyXGN2JMMFN3m2MlYSqnoClo0tGCckwoes5HASsLHBMXfZ30O7E8tUFYsr4iybkKxGQlrhfznOQDX2QQUuRqP2_uOmHSaQO0WA/s1600/229924873-f1164593-bbd2-4773-a5c0-dda03e2e6243.png"/>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Type the name of your first folder.<br>
<img alt="Make New Folder Name" border="0" data-original-height="88" data-original-width="445" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8GfJAsplfT3mHdrGagP-TAJrmDjpD4i1nNJ3LF5rP2srXEWk_N6iGES7GqkLVP98_8VoXoNAhnInuy1xb8RP3Rdvlo7tmJvwSGGj8RNfUlCxTmUvh0JVwnixSpW2DRqiUVugEZXUkr6zxJgKLyPvwJLPjlcf1FNW1QB9-65pSyM3inK-2--Mp3w/s1600/new-folder.jpg"/>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Move other items into these folders or create another folder.<br>
<img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="264" data-original-width="237" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoPgNHtnBBe-ZJsYg1bTm1hMSFRYjMQq2QXGxcAtVbI5mbSekmhfipUkeC5HnOBBSbjyTBTR4lHP9cVDhMQxI6NHtExAVgZvKE3IQEVN9FZJDRZsc0IUz_mg2yNC0ccvtxL2asF-sgdsqmP8d_CDPuKnDhaWo_MAuDpVXm4SWpzIwgFwh6bvoKmg/s1600/add-another-folder.jpg"/>
<br>
<br>
<br>
You can filter your collection to view only items in a particular folder. Or filter to find items that are not in a folder yet.<br>
<img alt="Filter Collections by Folder" border="0" data-original-height="212" data-original-width="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZeL770gKUsU8dX8gULwQTi6S5v1SgfNf943gzi8kItSdRVfvmdhv5A7plmbXcXi_LAJkIh5STGgnIbis78Ux41GA0Q9c6YDDAY-yZrURscK-zSHZg12uzrvdGz1m5MRsZZm1L8La7CzqIDWTJCEUBZ__kY8i_GidPy3VQQJaxOVSHXzqqrKHdwQ/s1600/229901498-ab4d9fd1-930e-419d-949a-520b74d6a156.png"/>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you filter by folder, you can view summary details of your folder like the total value of items in that folder and the number of items in the folder too.<br>
<img alt="Collection Summary by Folder" border="0" data-original-height="134" data-original-width="389" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9zcKaNMPrg-yhyeBjQ10Jg80bUxt10Ztdc2eHcugnXkijIAsilqPq-IPqNTcy03U21sBvJtjtWoiJKgk8eBHM40LLF4tktwqw-AjM0cAWtCR9_BoOeip4v33q53lCfHuPiostysidf8uHBakO0U4W9nvgart0mbkf3GHC9lQ0xdw6VkHyOuijzw/s1600/229922984-4f8383cc-14e1-4d93-b881-9a78ded73d91.png"/>
<br>
<br>
<br>
You can even get fancy with the filters and combine them. Only show video games for Nintendo 64 in your "To Play" folder.<br>
<br>
<br>
Two folders are included for free for every user on the site. If you want more than that, you can have unlimited folders with any <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/pricecharting-pro?f=foldersArticle" target="_blank">paid account level</a>.<br>
<br>
Thank you to all the users who suggested a tool like this. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback about this new feature.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>UPDATE: You can edit folder names</h2>
The ability to <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/edit-folder-names">edit folder names</a> is live on the site too.<br>
<br>
You can access this link from My Account > <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/settings#collection">Settings page</a> too.<br>

<p>
While loading tens of thousands of comic book covers to PriceCharting’s new <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books">online comics price guide</a>, we noticed that the portrayal of female characters seemed to become much more racy as the decades passed. Curiosity got the best of us so we ran a study to understand just what has changed about the female form in comics over time....you know, for science.
</p>
<p>
What we found was significant, but not unexpected.
</p>
<p>
Modern day covers feature <b>busts that consume more than triple the cover space</b> and show <b>twice the amount of cleavage</b> compared to comics from the mid 20th century. But that’s not all we found.
</p>
<h3>Methodology</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center;"><img alt="Wonder Woman Measurements Example" border="0" data-original-height="596" data-original-width="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyAQa9gXJLP-1X6YI34oka8HTM9nnShYJ6cxmzjFcbFtmNrXZU8Ar6OLt-Wz4aLtWMO_3DxDyNDl45xZJ9i69wZFxO_yS7QWF45Bh-LTluN3rvBn1yphLa9FecYpSwNlnZixMEDRYlokN_R5XijiU8Gg8KJ9CqSnpnXzYwMD2FQl5i2h6BBQMciQ/s1600/methods-example.png" /><br>Methodology Example with Pixel Measurements</div>
<p>
Before sharing our other insights, here’s how we got the data.
</p>
<p>
We selected three female-dominant comic book franchises that have represented large readerships over the past 4+ decades: Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Red Sonja. We randomly selected ten covers from each decade of each comic. The covers needed to feature the characters’ full body. We then recorded pixel measurements for: breast height and width, cleavage width, waist width, hip width, and cover width. We compiled the data:
</p>
<p>
Wonder Woman: 88 covers (616 data points)<br>
Catwoman: 35 covers (245)<br>
Red Sonja: 59 covers (413)<br>
</p>
<h3>Results</h3>
<p>
Here’s what we found:
</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center;"><img alt="Comic Breast & Waiste Size - Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Red Sonja" border="0" data-original-height="223" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3WreKk1HHbaOtedUXw5-kUkYTSkA5I2dYxYNK2IUycevHv6jep0Qj61G-pksy0jgju7tq7VypYAqCyUxxRGQTu2pARwzIKPaVS7-7iOD4GFiqXtfoRUxNrzFGZ0M6isDa26DeHPKSazOPnQCu01mDbVnmPF_eJQwUXvju3KLt0rgx0KVkKXLEqg/s1600/aggregate-three.png" width=600 /></div>
<p>
Since the early era of female-dominant comics the amount of cover attention placed on the bust has steadily increased. The decade beginning 2010 was the most prominent decade for breasts as nearly 30% of the cover width was occupied by bosoms. Cover artists took great liberty with breasts in the decade beginning 2010 as both [% of Cover] and [% Cleavage] peaked during that time frame. Perhaps artists have since felt the pressure to “normalize” the look of their female characters, as both metrics have begun to recede moving into the 2020s.
</p>
<p>
We recorded [Hip-to-Waist Ratio] for these three characters as well and were surprised to observe not much change over time. We had guessed that women would have “filled out” in the waist since the early days where pencil-thin waists were all the rage.
</p>
<p>
We weren’t certain that these three characters represented larger trends in all female-forward series, so we added 12 other characters into the study, albeit with a smaller sample size. We randomly selected two covers across each decade for these new characters, and in total added 124 additional <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books">covers from our archive</a> (868 data points). Adding them into the study with data sampled from the first three females we see some evident trends:
</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center;"><img alt="Comic Breast and Waist Size - All Comics" border="0" data-original-height="453" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiIT0-yATvVbrtqJC5SbMOx2uE5php0IYjLQA7C7-jz9umIw64AbgOX7_dsm3Mp0-0s8Bpykaq8fRbWuHwY9wHhQDV67W9u5t5Ez4LgUYFGPdkUB-ypDURFZzrmm10t_dbjNxjYH1HzIbByARWgLQi81o0mRrBnn4dTR0ZWzkFJCM4GvHsY5ZbvQ/s1600/aggregate-all.png" width=600 /></div>
<p>
Filling in these other characters paints a more complete story of the key trends in how the portrayal of women in comics has evolved over time. Comparing modern day (2010+) to the early comics (1940-60), we observe from the green trendlines:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Busts occupy more than triple the cover space today</li>
<li>The amount of cleavage shown has more than doubled (cleavage of greater than 50% was not observed until the 1970s at which point it became relatively common)</li>
<li>Women actually did “fill out” in the waist over time (hip:waist ratio declined by ~15%)</li>
<li>Breast:Waist ratio has remained the same - as breasts have grown, so have waists</li>
</ul>
<p>
This study was a fun project we pulled together over the course of a couple of weeks in our spare time. It’s not been rigorously statistically tested, and the results could be sharpened with an expanded data set. Additionally, we’d love to run a similar study about how the male body dimensions have also adapted over time. All caveats aside, this first pass is a reliable early look at just how cover women have changed in the comic media’s eye over time. It all begs the question - Have illustrators hit their maximum allowable peak for racy imagery, or is there still more to come?

So another MCU movie is out and you can’t be more excited. Well, we all know of the superheroes we see on the big screen, but what about the origins of those characters? Well, this might shock you, but many of those superheroes first appeared in comic books (shocking, we know). While it might not be news to some that superheroes first got their start in <a href="https://www.subzerocomics.com/">comic books</a>, it might be alarming that the medium has been experiencing a rapid sales decline in recent years. But why is this happening? And what can be done to fix this problem? Well, that’s what we’re here to answer.
</p>
<p>
Comic books have been around in their modern format since 1933. They were mainly popular among kids and young adults. Throughout the decades, the medium grew (as well as the age of the audience). Many adults would read collect, and invest in comic books, and the medium would peak in sales during the 1990s with individual books like Spawn and X-Men reaching print runs in the millions (a feat that has never since been accomplished). Comic books would experience a crash in the late-90s but would come back with the support of Hollywood. Today comics are popular to collect, but new books aren’t selling like they used to, despite billion-dollar movies. Sales continue to decline and the medium is in danger. How can this be possible? How can superhero movies do so well, while new comics struggle?
</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5G_fHcx5FcbPyE2irvlhzHYgIldfvdU8PcPeuEngTGur-XkaxsFEa6HQVdpOJuEr0nF3AdB7FzC4FDsf5o2bnv0eAm1-gyy7VzIuw9Viz49YDVc-nvva_2EeBmrfL36GPynJedcCo_xPITwW0TwJFp30LMcc8ZWkxo3Ok6ZXXNIw1QMZvpdygMw/s1600/spiderman.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width=600 data-original-height="1484" data-original-width="1072" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5G_fHcx5FcbPyE2irvlhzHYgIldfvdU8PcPeuEngTGur-XkaxsFEa6HQVdpOJuEr0nF3AdB7FzC4FDsf5o2bnv0eAm1-gyy7VzIuw9Viz49YDVc-nvva_2EeBmrfL36GPynJedcCo_xPITwW0TwJFp30LMcc8ZWkxo3Ok6ZXXNIw1QMZvpdygMw/s1600/spiderman.jpg"/></a></div>
<p>
This can be attributed to several factors. One is that print media isn’t as popular anymore. Many popular magazines have stopped print publications and have switched to digital format. Comic books have followed suit, but there are still some that prefer that feel of holding a comic in your hand while reading it (we’re one of them). The problem is that <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books">physical comic books</a> cost $3.99 and many people would rather read a pirated version for free on the internet (although some sign up for the DC and Marvel digital services). There is also the competition of Japanese manga that appeals more to a younger audience, while western comic books tend to attract an older audience (effectively splitting the potential readers).
</p>
<p>
Now for the million-dollar question; how can comic books recover from declining sales? There are already events such as Free Comic Books Day and Halloween Comic Fest to help encourage new readers, but what else can be done? Well, the answer has a few parts.
</p>
<p>
First, comic books need more cross-appeal. What this means is that books need to appeal to people who are fans of other media. A good example was when Marvel did the hip-hop variant covers a few years ago. Many fans of the hip-hop genre were drawn to these covers, which led these books to sell well upon release and on the aftermarket.
</p>
<p>
DC also did a great crossover between Fornite and Batman, which had a downloadable code for a Harley Quinn Fortnite skin. We saw new fans of comic books appear in front of our eyes through their method. Kids who were into Fortnite bought these books and some read and enjoyed them. This was a great attempt at bringing in a younger audience. Comic book companies need more of this cross-appeal with things like video games (which is a medium that just keeps growing). One idea the piggyback on the Fortnite crossover, would be to have more video game DLC when a new game comes out. What this means is when a new superhero video game is released (ex: the upcoming Gotham Knights game), a good idea would be to add a new downloadable costume (ex: an alternate Nightwing costume) that is only available through the purchase of certain comics.
</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gOCJKWYV9auhKXW39nMw5QiZgujqkGdRQbknCM4CBfAZMCuOmjxLPCsPbypidxzUB1BkDZA3hVgkoRWq11E2lDZ8Eh_XoL1W1lNbFklcLZxxyExLsAfiO2cHpU2xb3cRFDvnS2s-jb7SL3IpLtxaghvMbYf2_-E0RjZmx1ZuUHb1M88gNl4oPw/s2016/resident-evil-comics.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="600" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gOCJKWYV9auhKXW39nMw5QiZgujqkGdRQbknCM4CBfAZMCuOmjxLPCsPbypidxzUB1BkDZA3hVgkoRWq11E2lDZ8Eh_XoL1W1lNbFklcLZxxyExLsAfiO2cHpU2xb3cRFDvnS2s-jb7SL3IpLtxaghvMbYf2_-E0RjZmx1ZuUHb1M88gNl4oPw/s400/resident-evil-comics.jpg"/></a></div>
<p>
Comic book adaptations of video games have always done well, and we haven’t see too many in the past few years. Fans of games like Last of Us and Resident Evil would love additional content in the form of comic books to add to the lore of their favorite games.
</p>
<p>
Another method to help bring in new readers (which would help declining sales) would be to write stories that appeal to younger audiences. You can take examples from anime and manga for this one. Marvel did a good job with Strange Academy which mimicked My Hero Academia in a sense. There are plenty of other ideas that can be lifted from manga and anime, which can effectively bring in younger readers who can become lifelong comic fans.
</p>
<p>
Or how about this idea? A crossover of comic book and anime properties? Who wouldn’t want to see a Justice League/Dragon Ball Z comic book published by DC, which has Superman go up against Goku in the fan fight we’ve all dreamt of? That would get fans talking about comics again.
</p>
<p>
You don’t have to look far for ideas on how to help comics recover from low sales. Just look around and see what’s popular today and try to incorporate that into your books. It may sound like a major task, but some of it has already been done. Companies like DC and Marvel just need to look at these successes and continue to implement them into their books. We would love to see comics grow and a younger audience take to reading and collecting the books. However, unless something is done, then we might see the end of new comics as we know them.

We even have obscure sets like the <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/console/pokemon-japanese-vending">Japanese Vending Machine set</a>.<br>
<br>
You can find Japanese cards in the search results or find specific sets using <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/pokemon-cards#specific-sets">Find Specific Sets Tool</a>. If you Japanese is a bit rusty (or non-existent like mine), our <a href="https://blog.pricecharting.com/2022/03/search-pokemon-cards-by-photo.html">search by photo tool</a> works with Japanese Pokemon cards too.<br>
<br>
Our database already has tens of thousands of sales and our bots are finding thousands of sales every day. Soon, every Japanese Pokemon card will have a value and historic sales data.<br>

The issue number might not be prominent or the year published is hidden. Or it just takes too long typing out the name. You can now <b>search with a photo of your comic book instead</b>.<br>
<br>
Follow these directions to search for comics with just a photo.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Click the Camera icon on the <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books">Comic Book main page</a> (or at the top of any other page).
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align:center;"><img alt="comic photo search icon" border="0" data-original-height="173" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-0lCWihyia_f-zyG4fgVT5-hL3l6M9L8vmLsmLlKi3y2hIiJjvMvGNy8Acxb5ekW9EYy3xs5nWPyec2m0goh-KxhCJIYZXbe-A5wc4yP9PTTo3T-Hbo4ndUNmRZwhU-HZAMvsw4kI-tV6bjTSDozjKoVFlAjgQ6nQG5y_d--RoeblDBvjZRR2RQ/s1600/search-icon.jpg" alt="Click Camera Icon"/><br>Click the Camera Icon</div>
<br>
<br>
Click 'Take Photo' button.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align:center"><img alt="comic photo search" border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="652" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTEHmr0pxL69B71I0p4RxNwsGsd-04BSVgC7Sb6m_OK918uEeeB1hkMNFxifBSUV7ZP010DD5L-aJYF10oj9vA31s8csTZWhxYDOG2PshkMsyGPhGmtl8U0C1gvqKf-5BdFB4YJO6PElHN6CPMrNbzGR7hiB1XZNQ_kes39vQCO6DlDRHGp_zebQ/s1600/comic-take-photo.jpg" alt="Click 'Take Photo' button" /><br>Click 'Take Photo Button'</div>
<br>
<br>
Confirm the photo and change orientation if needed. Accuracy is higher if the photo is oriented correctly.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align:center"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm3S7vtsg9UH3Y6rDJbgVnS4rXw6_0y60F6IrWqU5QyFo2uDRp82NqpNegt8ffVOIpXKXFSudvRRKP9Rn8z4Sfkao0ezL0hXlw62Qmx3cGfqNvFBkJuZFp8z33kMLxMcdQXMHsqlGCb7UAfMTu2Hi8EbTQ-RJX4gMieUW7C-OOkWjIGyADSHjUAA/s1600/comic-orientation.jpg" alt="Confirm Photo" /><br>Confirm photo and orientation</div>
<br>
<br>
Wait for a bit while photo is processing (the servers are working hard).
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align:center"><img alt="comic search processing" border="0" data-original-height="276" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5XmuGeHmlBH-5m7lNFWPo8IH8BjYJjXH0FeYdVEbur-86BYV5kF2FX0h8KdDBnLAFyLKGpXaAi7x3e9cA9RKTx13eqO-Xe3HhTVhQiT32Zhtd0kqoM31mW1fQNvxG3XDPzRhSf393o2jnx8yIvg29WPpU7tSVjdlR5BP54_L_9VYh1YEt0qnYGg/s1600/comic-wait.jpg" alt="Processing Photo" /><br>Wait a bit for comic processing</div>
<br>
<br>
See matching comics. The top match is the first comic and larger image. Other possible matches are shown too.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;text-align:center"><img alt="comic search matches" border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGRfHip02C5B8nHFndgnZYSYg435O-HxFAkanJ5yS6FR6sm8VMV05EyMjpXkJ1T_0X_OL_p9xZaMz1L9G9St2mqkOMkaf5YWL_PQPjtHx32eANpVgwTl1s2qkwPtX0Ci7IXqKoKro0SMMF8EW7kir9JHnvOpo91fN-nceCa5eeRXTvY5EyQhhnIw/s1600/comics-by-photo.jpg" alt="Best Matching Cards" /><br>See possible matches</div>

<br>
Click the matching comic to see price details, add it to your collection, or view the <a href="https://blog.pricecharting.com/2022/05/see-cgc-comic-book-population-on.html">graded POP data</a>.<br>

<br>
<br>
This only works with <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books">Comic Books</a> and <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/pokemon-cards">Pokemon cards</a> right now and the tool is in beta. In our tests the <b>correct issue was found 94% of the time</b> (one of the top three results). We continue to add more comics to the site and more variants too. The tool will work with cover variants too.<br>
<br>
To improve results take photos with a clear background and the cover itself filling up most of the photo.<br>
<br>
Please give us your feedback in the comments below. We'd love to hear how the tool works for you.<br>

<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/user/fkbof3gpnrlfx6iq5tppcfuwpm" target="_blank">JonsGames</a> joined PriceCharting 3 months ago to sell some of his game collection. In less than 90 days he's sold more than 270 games on PriceCharting with almost perfect feedback.<br>
<br>
What's his selling secret?<br>
<br>
<h2>Place User Name in Every Photo in Every Listing</h2><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/offer/jvopimmbejtnetxhcv3buvmgsq" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmzf0StkntQswRGKBCvk5EzJS1y_M_pPWRoJM0O9dvLRivg1mk5avKbrHYJKJ41OIgqOXITQd2MIjeYzpT1Y6C6AkLpDDWSY0dAR2kaAccpz8VnmT7iix9yNqiOVzdDZnvVDQIPCoeHSbWU6ixvnh-MqHNbKlNZny1mhIyhvD9m8eJl3ExEYWOyw/s1600/jonsgames.jpg"/></a></div>
Every single listing JonsGames posts includes a photo of the actual item AND his user name written on a piece of paper. Most listings have multiple photos. The photo helps buyers know two things.<br>
<br>
* Buyers can see exactly what they will be getting.<br>
* Buyers know the seller actually has that game in his possession (photo wasn't taken off the internet).<br>
<br>
Both of these reduce buyer's fear/risk of being scammed so they are more likely to buy.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Sell with Low Prices</h2><br>
Almost every item JonsGames sells is priced around 90% of the market price.<br>
<br>
PriceCharting doesn't charge any marketplace fees so JonsGames saves money compared to other marketplaces. He passes almost all of those savings onto the buyers. In exchanage JonsGames sells more stuff.<br>
<br>
Buyers are always looking to find a deal. PriceCharting has tons of collectors with games/cards in their wishlists. We notify those users when a seller posts an item for sale with a good price. Using discounted prices puts a listing in front of more eyeballs and often leads to sales minutes after posting the item.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Give Great Customer Service After the Sale</h2><br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/user/fkbof3gpnrlfx6iq5tppcfuwpm" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="165" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHEQ7G3wr_0JGpVvkarkoYrxNBr2r7nOM7eGvlE2sbOuWOAE_ZV8fATPLxOJw9Su1FGv7U3HNaPPsgfFz-scL-8FTOPgHfcUic1NwPKso878Tq-JFB40MAT2sl3uwaFetYocxAB7JrT5PHwbJMrzNED0pd4hpwYb-ZYJbChGcKcGncAlk9_GXLrw/s1600/jonsgames-feedback.jpg"/></a></div>
JonsGames says his philosphy as a seller is the golden rule. "Treat others the way you want to be treated".<br>
<br>
He's bought games online before. He knows what he likes as a buyer. So he does that for his customers.<br>
<br>
He:<br>
<br>
* Ships quickly (usually the same or next day)<br>
* Communicates frequently by uploading tracking, emailing if there is a delay, etc<br>
* Fixes any problems when they happen. Mistakes inevitably happen. When they have he's fixed the problems quickly so the customer was happy.<br>
<br>
JonsGames says he's received emails from buyers "thanking me for giving them the chance to relive there childhoods and play with there kids and to me that’s worth more then the cash."
<br>
Great customer service leads to repeat buyers and great feedback ratings. Great feedback gives new buyers even more confidence to buy.<br>
<br>
<br>
I personally want to say "thank you" to JonsGames for making PriceCharting marketplace a better place to buy/sell with fellow collectors and mom-n-pop stores.<br>
<br>
You can see <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/offers?seller=fkbof3gpnrlfx6iq5tppcfuwpm&sort=starts&category=all&condition-id=all&status=available" target="_blank">JonsGames current listings</a> and give his games a great new home.

You can now see CGC population reports on <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/comic-books" target="_blank">comic book pages</a> on PriceCharting.<br>
<br>
See the number of issues graded at each CGC grade level and visualize the data too.<br>
<br>
This helps you know how rare a particular grade is. For example <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/game/comic-books-amazing-spider-man/amazing-spider-man-1-1963#population-report" target="_blank">Amazing Spiderman #1 (1963)</a> has a peak grade around CGC 3 and 9.X grades are very rare.

<br>

This only works with Pokemon cards right now and the tool is in beta. In our tests the <b>correct card was found 96% of the time</b> (one of the top three results). To improve results take photos with a clear background and the card itself filling up most of the photo.<br>

Please give us your feedback in the comments below. We'd love to hear how the tool works for you.<br>

We made some small changes to the site to help users find the prices and data they are looking for.<br>
<br>
<h2>Redesigned Menu</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWuvQKkj5KZK8_EH4tMC6XgYeoneXgtFVQMA0nRYbPRL0U33RSUkhJVbABEMZpcIf2atJlCKn66dR0djc9aHrLJxjs9iJqLW-XJf4TF0DCvUjr-Xhb5rZjLfn8OZh39TM7apTiYDQiNzk87t4znD8GDW3NVz80IQb1PzRCKrqoEfXVFrjJgKgjTQ" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="504" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhWuvQKkj5KZK8_EH4tMC6XgYeoneXgtFVQMA0nRYbPRL0U33RSUkhJVbABEMZpcIf2atJlCKn66dR0djc9aHrLJxjs9iJqLW-XJf4TF0DCvUjr-Xhb5rZjLfn8OZh39TM7apTiYDQiNzk87t4znD8GDW3NVz80IQb1PzRCKrqoEfXVFrjJgKgjTQ" alt="redesigned menu"/></a></div><br>
The menu has been updated to link to categories of collectibles. You can still get to specific video game consoles by hovering/clicking on the brand then choosing your console from the list.<br>
<br>
Gamers can also click "<a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/video-games">video games</a>" link and choose the exact console they want.<br>
<br>
Other collectors can quickly find their collectible of choice now too.
<br>
<br>
<h2>Company Specific Pages for Video Games</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjduf9Ynv0KvwjF3uS9k7Hf6CrLsxYSt3KYNhp_d7d8MVyRWK0jAs0xzntoR8vp0U6TCY1jK1WC_834dfg9Zi89CEln8zuhr1cL_0NLBeBqpLSR2qEi3wpBoIYi7iMReulzW_UoHirM8nQ79v2y6-ThwRFqMzZivqTIHCfT1tv8_bxlBk4R0qPsfg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="571" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjduf9Ynv0KvwjF3uS9k7Hf6CrLsxYSt3KYNhp_d7d8MVyRWK0jAs0xzntoR8vp0U6TCY1jK1WC_834dfg9Zi89CEln8zuhr1cL_0NLBeBqpLSR2qEi3wpBoIYi7iMReulzW_UoHirM8nQ79v2y6-ThwRFqMzZivqTIHCfT1tv8_bxlBk4R0qPsfg" alt="browse consoles by brand"/></a></div><br>
From the menu, users can select a company and find one page with all the platforms released by that company. <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/brand/video-games/nintendo">Nintendo</a>, <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/brand/video-games/atari">Atari</a>, <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/brand/video-games/playstation">Playstation</a>, <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/brand/video-games/xbox">Xbox</a>, etc.<br>
<br>
That page lists all the consoles for every region so you can quickly find the platform your interested in.
<br>
<br>
<h2>Find Platform Page with Search</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiZPaH1d-x031lgRisbnSnvekU6HIihXKIPfPnYk6hDJWpO3JHtWXVEaU-c5QVrkA4x3sjq5KXEQqYw7Lk3nBjc477XJXegZcPAljRclQsl3P-WkjIULDLYM4m5oJuLQtOE_5j9WHfw-TvH_2kODAfCs2xyD9C2JyXStSnGDZ_o8zqWlW0inm6B6Q" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="730" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiZPaH1d-x031lgRisbnSnvekU6HIihXKIPfPnYk6hDJWpO3JHtWXVEaU-c5QVrkA4x3sjq5KXEQqYw7Lk3nBjc477XJXegZcPAljRclQsl3P-WkjIULDLYM4m5oJuLQtOE_5j9WHfw-TvH_2kODAfCs2xyD9C2JyXStSnGDZ_o8zqWlW0inm6B6Q" alt="find a specific system"/></a></div><br>
There is a new tool on the video game category page and the company specific pages too. You can start typing part of a console name and quickly be taken to that specific console page.<br>
<br>
Type "3ds" and choose the one you want from the list. And you are taken directly to the <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/console/nintendo-3ds">Nintendo 3DS game list</a>.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Filter Searches by Category</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqjWGZUfX0QtdkUw2-2R5Es5TEELoXdVPRcXK8kFy52UsQE1QfRLjDhUkEfd7_ql2BBuzylg-FN_PBKx7ewtpWT3z19hW4HEjXEmawfOyXKfEicUjIXwrQgnMT_hNdyt3rEFRZJPynR3jdoT9XjvbmCG7-ckhFJl-hn1WiLsNIOY7FRwjE4eI8og" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="239" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiqjWGZUfX0QtdkUw2-2R5Es5TEELoXdVPRcXK8kFy52UsQE1QfRLjDhUkEfd7_ql2BBuzylg-FN_PBKx7ewtpWT3z19hW4HEjXEmawfOyXKfEicUjIXwrQgnMT_hNdyt3rEFRZJPynR3jdoT9XjvbmCG7-ckhFJl-hn1WiLsNIOY7FRwjE4eI8og" alt="search results" /></a></div><br>
Searches can return results from multiple categories, but some users are only interested in a particular category. Search results are now easier to view and filter by category.<br>
<br>
All results are color coded to make it easy to glance through results to find the category you are looking for. Games are red, trading cards are green, and comics are yellow.<br>
<br>
The ability to filter results by category is always visible and just one-click away. "All" results is the default, but clicking on "Comics" or "Video Games" would filter the results to just that category.<br>
<br>
This selection is persistant on your account/device. <b>Filter by your favorite category once, and all future searches are filtered too</b>. For example, if you only collect video games, filter results to "Video Games" once and all future results will show only video games unless you change it back.
<h2>Filter Searches by Other Metrics Too</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpe6zOk8JDO7Z8WCoIWfOORa4DK-6mFwWX0_z1tkpia4Hh9h_4W6tRydzgrww-W-9E04EeK6rVQzu5s370z7403cjfE7Z4TAI5Q80sGMypkgNUbjGFh-t6d7JCjDsODRTrtB7zxX-IRTT9RypRbJbxGBuKg41sWgtM0NrxfDV5gseosxQFqg-bRw" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="558" data-original-width="692" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhpe6zOk8JDO7Z8WCoIWfOORa4DK-6mFwWX0_z1tkpia4Hh9h_4W6tRydzgrww-W-9E04EeK6rVQzu5s370z7403cjfE7Z4TAI5Q80sGMypkgNUbjGFh-t6d7JCjDsODRTrtB7zxX-IRTT9RypRbJbxGBuKg41sWgtM0NrxfDV5gseosxQFqg-bRw"/></a></div><br>
You can still filter search results by console, region, and variant too. Just click the "Sort/Filter" header (or the little "+" symbol next to it) and you can choose other methods to sort and filter your results.

<br>
You can now see your collection's historic cost and profit.<br>
<br>
See how much you've invested into your collection every month and watch to see how the overall profit has changed over time too. (I don't input cost on my admin test collection so the chart is a bit boring for me).<br>
<br>
This goes along with the recent addition to show current total cost and profit, but the historic data gives you more context.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="231" data-original-width="515" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhskr2IGmQKWXyYTQ2-6ujcj8_vrbBbmtlEogsaNPepMIdNoqGqhqBBKO3qFyKDriNa6TgMdtLkcxLp89-IkECBanIU3qrbpUPuNYlk-_XrBpmxx-yJ33ywa1EYTH9S2uQ_qZJ5rz4Jw2wXsDfwcU1m10kI6X8ev0z7L6Mya8poOOt6n0OKd-Gt2w"/></div>
<br>
<br>
The historic data is only available to <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/pricecharting-pro?f=blog">premium subscribers</a> at this time. We've been storing this data though for all users since October 2021. So if you decide to subscribe you will see all your historic data, not just data since you subscribed.<br>

Visit <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/my-collection">your collection page</a> and try it out.<br>
Click "Cost" or "Profit" in the chart to view the data.<br>
You might need to toggle off the "Value" line to see more detail in the cost and profit lines.

<br>
The <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/console/nes">original Nintendo NES</a> launched in 1985. That same year, Garbage Pail Kids launched too.<br>
<br>
I was allowed to buy an NES, but Garbage Pail Cards were not allowed. I only got to see them at my friends' houses. Now that I'm an adult I can buy as many GPK cards as I want (and I can have Oreo's for breakfast).<br>
<br>
PriceCharting has launched a <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/garbage-pail-cards">price guide for GPK cards</a> so I know how much to pay for my forbidden childhood memories. If you have cards in the <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/console/1985-garbage-pail-kids">original 1985 series</a> you might have some valuable cards.<br>
<br>
Who else wasn't allowed to buy GPK cards as a kid? And who still has their childhood collection? Let me know in the comments below.<br>

<br>
We've been tracking video game prices since 2006 so we have a lot of data. For some retro games the most recent new sale might be 4-5 years old because they are rare. During this time game prices have increased a lot. If we base our values on sales from 4+ years ago, then our values will be inaccurate.<br>
<br>
Starting last week, if the sealed condition sale is more than one year old we will look to see if the CIB price for that same game has changed and adjust our estimate of the sealed price to take that into account. CIB condition is much more common with video games so there is much more sales activity to use for our estimate AND the relationship between CIB and New prices is very stable for games on a specific console.<br>
<br>
Any valuation for a brand new retro game is an estimate though because the exact condition for each item greatly impacts the value. For example, a water damaged sealed game is worth much less than a crisp, perfect seal. And there are many levels of variation in between. Our new value estimates are not based on actual brand new sales, but they are much more accurate than our old sealed prices and give collector's a much more accurate view of what their games are worth.
<br>
<br>
This change impacts about 20% of NES, SNES, and N64 games.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any questions about this change.<div class="blogger-post-footer">This is a post from <a href='https://blog.pricecharting.com'>PriceCharting.com</a></div>JJ Hendrickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10255138459888881579noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166264252243602432.post-5913470259765828942021-12-27T09:35:00.003-07:002021-12-27T09:35:38.189-07:006 Charts Comparing Christmas Day for Video Game, Pokemon Card & Sports Card CollectorsOn Christmas morning a large percentage of the United States wakes up and opens Christmas presents. For collectors that usually means Santa (spoiler alert: some loved one), bought them something for their collection. A new video game, fresh pokemon card packs, or the latest sports card hobby box, etc.<br>
<br>
Is Christmas Day the exact same for each one of these collector groups though?<br>
<br>
PriceCharting.com and our sister site, SportsCardsPro.com, are the #1 trafficed price guides/collection trackers for <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com">video games</a>, <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com/category/pokemon-cards">pokemon cards</a>, and <a href="https://www.sportscardspro.com/">sports cards</a>. We can look at the user traffic to see how Christmas Day differs for each type of collector.<br>
<br>
All times and charts below are in Pacific Time Zone.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Spike in Traffic on Christmas Morning</h2>
<br>
Every collector young and old is eager to open their presents to see what they got. The first thing most collectors will do is open the presents.<br>
<br>
Soon after the last wrapping paper has been torn and the Christmas tree is barren, everyone asks themselves "Now what?". The answer for card collectors is very different than the answer for gamers.<br>
<br>
There is a huge Christmas Day spike in traffic for Pokemon and sports card users. Pokemon traffic is up 152% on Christmas morning vs the previous Saturday. Sports card users are up 85%.

Card collectors open their new packs and see what see they got. Many of them then rush to <a href="https://www.pricecharting.com">PriceCharting</a> or <a href="https://www.sportscardspro.com/">SportsCardsPro</a> to find the value of their new cards.<br>
<br>
How much is that full art Charizard GX card worth? Is my new Tom Brady blue rainbow tiger stripe prizm worth anything?<br>
<br>
Gamers on the other hand, start playing their games.<br>

There is a small spike in traffic in the morning, but the rest of the day is actually less traffic than a typical Saturday. The Christmas Day peak, at 11am for gamers, is actually 3% below the previous Saturday.

<h2>Surprise, Kids Wake Up Earlier Than Adults</h2>
<br>
The peak in traffic for each type of collectible is different too.<br>
<br>
Kids are notorious for waking their parents up early to open presents. I don't have survey data to prove it, but I'm very confident the average present opening time is earlier for households with kids than households without kids.<br>
<br>
The average pokemon card collector is younger than the average retro gamer (video game collecting focuses on retro while Pokemon and sports cards focus on new releases). Sports cards is a mix because there are lots of kids into sports cards, but lots of adult card collectors too.<br>
<br>
For Pokemon cards the peak in user traffic is 9am. For sports cards it's 10am. And for gamers it is 11am.<br>
<br>
This matches up with the ages. Pokemon card collectors are checking their card prices sooner than the average sports card collector, who checks earlier than the average gamer.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Christmas Traffic Declines As Day Continues, But Not the Same Amount</h2>
<br>
After the peak in traffic, users decline for all collector types.<br>
<br>
Pokemon shows a very steady decline with traffic down every hour from the peak. From 9am to 6pm, traffic declined 38%. Still much higher than the previous Saturday but a steady decline as people move onto other Christmas Day activities unrelated to card collecting.<br>

<br>
<br>
Mean while, sports cards have a much smaller decline in traffic and actually increase during some hours of the day instead of a slow and steady decline like Pokemon.<br>
<br>

<br>
What explains the difference? NBA and NFL games on Christmas Day.<br>
<br>
It is really popular for sports fans to check card prices during games. They might buy a card for a player having a great game. Or sell a card for the rookie who got benched. On a typical day, the peak in traffic on SportsCardsPro is during the evening games.<br>
<br>
Both the NFL and NBA have nationally televised games scheduled on Christmas Day. The NBA has five games starting at 9am with the Hawks vs Knicks and finishing with the Mavericks vs Jazz ending around 9:30pm. The NFL has two games, a 1:30pm kickoff and a 5:15 kickoff (ending a little after 8pm).<br>
<br>
The chart below overlays the game start and end times with the traffic data.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
You can see traffic hold relatively steady while the NBA and NFL games are both being played (1:30-8pm). Then traffic starts declining in the last hour with only one NBA game. Followed by a steep decline after that last game ends.<br>
<br>
<br>
<h2>Summary of Christmas Day for the Average Collector</h2>
<br>
<b>Gamer:</b> Slower start to unpacking then add some new games to their collection. Then start playing them. Traffic is very similar to the average day.<br>
<br>
<b>Pokemon Card Collector:</b> Open new packs early in the day and check the prices on their new cards. Quickly move onto other Christmas activities.<br>
<br>
<b>Sports Card Collector:</b> Open new packs in mid morning. Check the prices on those cards. Then start watching pro sports on TV and check card prices until the games end.

The preference is stored on your device instead of your account because users have different preferences on different devices. Maybe you prefer light theme on your desktop during the day, but like dark theme while you shop for games in bed in the middle of the night.<br>
<br>
Once you set the preference it will be persist across all your visits until you change it.<br>
