CGCdata.com - still free - major upgrade for October 21, 2020 0

[valiantman]

CGC Census current and historical analysis information is still there, with some upgrades added today.

The character/storyline/cover comments (1st appearance of So-and-So, etc.) that appear on the right side of the CGC label are now shown in the results on CGCdata.com

The search also looks within those comments to find character appearances or references besides the title of the same name.  (Example: CGCdata.com search for 'Superman')

Additionally, I have put a better date sorting when ordering by "year" - with the note that comics with only a year (no month mentioned) are sorted to mid-year (June 30th).

It's my half-birthday today, so you all get a gift because October 21st is as far from my own birthday as I can be each year.

That's an awesome present, and happy birthday!

Great resource, thanks!

I like how you can see the average grade in the census dropping over time when a book is gradually increasing in value leading to more lower grade copies getting slabbed, like here for Batman 232:

I like the data.. is there a way to convert this to a chart of some type? 
Also if there was a choice to change showing data from weekly to monthly to yearly, it could be much easier to read the data at a glance.

It will find any references to the word Spawn.  If you want Image Spawn include Image as the publisher or 1992 as the starting year.

Have the restored and qualified data results always been smaller font and indented?  Hadn't noticed it before but I like it.

Always great work and I very much appreciate it.

Yes, I wanted the non-Universal labels to stand out as "not blue" - since there are very few situations where any of the non-Universal label counts are higher than Universal for the same book.  (Very recent moderns may have that situation for signature, but nothing that has been graded often and also "stood the test of time".)
