Travis P. Sackett Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I recently had my first comic graded and was wondering if there is a way to access a CGC population report? My comic graded higher than expected and I'm interested in finding out if there have been others on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 There’s a Cgc census go to the Cgc website and dig around, the census is easy to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valiantman Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) The CGC census is at https://www.cgccomics.com/census/ and it is the official site. I've been running a CGC census analysis site for 15+ years at CGCdata.com which some collectors think is easier to use, but it's definitely not "official".

CGC adds their stuff to the Census automatically. Not sure how @valiantman has the data flowing from the CGC census over to his site. @Crops068 @Ladic CGCdata.com uses the Tuesday data updates from the official CGC Census with CGC's permission since 2003. Books which don't appear on the CGC Census are either 1) too recently graded to be included or 2) a result of a CGC database error. I have noticed that there are books which have been graded several times in the past 20 years which seem to be re-entered into the CGC database recently as if it was the first time grading them, and the CGC Census goes from something like 50 copies to 1 copy. The errors seem to be found and corrected eventually, but there are definitely errors in the CGC Census data (at all times). @Ladic if you want to add your books, you're looking for the CGC Registry, not the CGC Census. The CGC Registry is here: https://www.cgccomics.com/registry/ Edited June 26, 2019 by valiantman namisgr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the response, @valiantman Originally (back in 2003), I was using automated scraping of the data from the CGC Census, but CGC leadership said that wasn't necessary and set up a raw data file. CGC chooses who can access the file, but there's nothing (extra) in the raw data file that isn't also in the CGC Census available to everyone. bc, Mirkinator and Crops068 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
