Photograph a comic, queue a whole stack, grade it from several photos, even value a whole rack at once.
Inside the app
Scan, grade and value comic books, screen by screen
Real screenshots from the Comic Dispatch iPhone app, and what each screen does.
Scan a comic with your camera, your photos, or files
Photograph the book in front of you, pick photos you already have, or load files. You can also type a title and issue number instead.
Short on signal at a shop or con? Grading is off until you turn it on: a plain scan gives a value estimate from matching eBay listings, and tapping Grade adds a condition grade to the photos you take after it.
Camera, Photos and Files
Type a title and number if you have no photo
Grade on or off, scan by scan
Queue a whole stack, then dispatch it in one tap
Every photo joins the queue. A front cover starts a new comic, and you can add more shots of the same book. When the stack is ready, tap Dispatch and each comic is identified, graded and given a value estimate.
Scan a whole stack in one go
Each front cover becomes its own comic card
Take multiple photos of the same book for more accurate grading
A single cover shot only shows so much. Add close-ups of the corners, edges, spine and back, link them to the book with same, and Comic Dispatch has more to work from when it estimates the condition grade.
Corners, edges, spine and back cover
Link every extra photo to its book
More photos, a more accurate grade
Photograph an entire rack and have each book valued individually
Snap a shelf or a rack, then tap the covers you want. Each marked cover becomes its own comic card with its own grade and value estimate. Each book counts as one scan.
Mark just the covers you care about
One card, one grade and one value estimate per book
Your whole collection in one searchable Log
Every comic you scan lands in your Log with its exact issue and variant, the cover artist, the grade and a value estimate. Search it, sort it, and filter it to find any book fast.
Variant covers and cover artists named
Grade and value estimate on every row
Search, sort and filter
A compact view when your collection is big
When you have a lot of books, a tighter list shows many more of them on one screen, still with the cover, the variant, the grade and the value estimate for each.
What it does
Your whole collection, understood
Point your iPhone at a comic and Comic Dispatch does the rest — no catalog numbers, no guesswork. Keep every book in Want, Own or Log.
Pinpoint the issue
Identifies the exact title, issue number and variant — including hard-to-spot cover swipes, printings, and newsstand vs. direct editions.
Estimate the grade
Reads condition from your photos and suggests a grade — with a value ladder across the whole grade scale, so you can see how the estimate changes at a 9.4.
Value estimate
Looks at live eBay listings for comparable copies and estimates what they're asking — with a confidence rating and the date on every number. Asking prices, not sale prices.
Buy it on eBay
Browse matching live listings and jump straight to the eBay purchase — the fastest path from "what's this?" to owning it.
How it works
From photo to purchase in four steps
1
Photograph
Snap the cover with your iPhone, or pick photos you already have. Add close-ups for a sharper condition read; shoot a whole shelf and every book becomes its own card.
2
Identify & grade
Comic Dispatch names the exact issue and variant, checks it against the catalog, then estimates the grade from your shots.
3
Value
Get an estimate from what comparable copies are asking on eBay right now, with the date it was checked.
4
Buy on eBay
Found a copy you want? Tap Buy and Comic Dispatch takes you straight to eBay, where you complete the purchase.
Live eBay integration
An estimate from live asking prices — then find it on eBay
Comic Dispatch looks at live eBay listings for your exact issue and variant and estimates what comparable copies are asking right now, dated so you know how fresh it is. It's an estimate from asking prices, not a sale price or an appraisal. Then it links you to those listings so you can find the copy you want on eBay.
Real matching eBay listings, fetched on demand
Low / Medium / High confidence on every estimate
Every cover of the issue, side by side, when the variant is in doubt
One tap straight to the listings on eBay

How Comic Dispatch uses eBay
We keep this simple and in plain words.
Values are estimates
Each value is an estimate from what sellers are asking for comparable copies on eBay, with the date it was checked. It is not a sale price and not an appraisal.
Buy links go to eBay
The Buy buttons in the app are eBay Partner Network affiliate links. You complete every purchase on eBay. As an eBay Partner, Comic Dispatch may be compensated if you make a purchase.
Listings stay in the app
eBay listings, pictures and prices are shown inside the app, not on this website. Comic Dispatch is not affiliated with or endorsed by eBay.
