98 Ticker Terms & Disclaimer

Data accuracy & availability. 98 Ticker may occasionally produce inaccurate results due to automated listing analysis, or become temporarily unavailable. Features and pricing are subject to change.

Data accuracy. Listings are filtered and matched using automated, algorithmic analysis. This process is not perfect: it may occasionally include listings that don't match the intended comic, grade, or printing, and may exclude legitimate listings. Always independently verify any listing — including photos, description, and certification number — before making a purchase or valuation decision.

Not financial advice. Prices shown reflect current or recent eBay Buy-It-Now asking prices, not sold prices, appraised value, or guaranteed market value. Nothing in this app constitutes financial, investment, or appraisal advice, and it should not be the sole basis for any purchase, sale, or investment decision.

No affiliation. 98 Ticker is an independent tool created by LoveLee Media Group, LLC and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by eBay Inc., CGC, CBCS, PGX, PSA, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, or any other publisher or grading company referenced in this app.

Account & shared resources. Creating an account stores your registry, purchase records, and preferences on our server so they can follow you across devices. You're using a shared eBay API connection with a personal daily usage limit; excessive or abusive use may result in access being limited.

No warranty. This app and its data are provided "as is," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. LoveLee Media Group, LLC is not liable for any loss or damages arising from use of this app.

Eligibility. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account.

My Comics

One search phrase per line, formatted as Title Issue Number Year — e.g. "X-Men 130 1980". Include the year: it lets 98 Ticker reject modern homage/tribute covers that borrow a vintage key's title and issue number.

To track a specific attribute (signed, a cover variant, a ratio incentive) as its own separate entry, add | Attribute — e.g. "Vigilante 1 1983 | Signed" tracks signed copies separately from the plain book.

98 Ticker tracks 9.8 only — the grade is baked into every eBay search for tighter, cleaner results. Pick graders (CGC, CBCS, PGX, PSA) in the toolbar; changing them re-filters what's already fetched — no new eBay call. Refresh pulls only the graders you have selected, so keeping fewer graders on means fewer calls. Usage is capped daily to stay inside the free tier.

Notifications

In-app alerts (bell)

Always on — notifies when a book hits your target gain % or a listing ages past your threshold.

Email alerts

Real-time email when a Watch List book drops below your target price. Daily digest for below-floor hits and aging For Sale listings.

✓ Verified Unverified

Per-book price targets are set in each book's detail drawer (Watch List).

Applies to new purchases by default — each one can still override its own target. The fee % is only an estimate; actual fees are entered when you record a sale. A For Sale book listed longer than the aging threshold flags as a signal to reduce the price. Floor Drop Alert % emails you when any tracked book's floor drops by at least this % and $5 from the prior refresh — even without a price target set. Leave blank to use the default (2%).

Floor Rise Alert 🔒 Pro

Notifies you when a book you are tracking gets more expensive. All three thresholds must be met together — the floor must rise by at least the minimum percentage AND at least the minimum dollar amount AND the book's current floor must be at or above the minimum floor value. Example: with settings of 5% / $10 / $50, a book at $100 jumping to $112 would alert you (12% rise, $12 increase, floor above $50). A $45 book jumping to $48 would not (floor below the $50 minimum). Leave any field blank to disable. Available on Pro and Dealer plans.

Weekly Floor Report 🔒 Dealer

Every Monday — this week vs last week's floor for every book you track, with biggest movers called out. Portfolio performance + market intelligence in one email. Dealer only.

Auto-refresh on return

If data is more than 6 hours old when you return to this tab, refresh automatically. Only checks while you're actively looking at the page — no timer runs while it's hidden.

Manually Added Listings — Unused

These books have manually added listings but aren't on your Watch List anymore. They're kept in case you re-add the same book later — remove them here if you're sure you won't.

Need to change keys? Edit ebay-proxy.php on your host — never in the browser. Keys come from developer.ebay.com → Application Keysets → Production.

Change Password

Update your own password. You'll need your current one.

Reset a User's Password

Admin tool for a locked-out user. Sets a new temporary password for their account — their tracked books and data are untouched. Give them the new password to log in, then they can change it themselves above.

Disclaimer

98 Ticker displays Buy-It-Now pricing data retrieved from eBay's public marketplace via the eBay Browse API. Listings are filtered and matched using automated, algorithmic title analysis. This process is not perfect: it may occasionally include listings that do not match the intended comic, grade, or printing (such as reprints, homage covers, or mislabeled items), and may exclude legitimate listings due to unusual title formatting. Always independently verify any listing — including the seller's photos, item description, and certification number — before making a purchase or valuation decision.

Prices shown reflect current or recent eBay Buy-It-Now asking prices, not sold/completed sale prices, appraised value, or guaranteed market value. Comic book and collectible values fluctuate and are influenced by many factors outside this app's data. Nothing in this app constitutes financial, investment, or appraisal advice, and 98 Ticker should not be the sole basis for any purchase, sale, or investment decision.

Enter the series and issue number. We'll track the live 9.8 floor price for this book going forward.

Selecting a volume fills the year automatically. Editing the year clears this selection.

Selecting a decade clears the year field and vice versa.

⚠ No year entered — without a year, modern homage covers and variant reprints using the same series name and issue number may appear in results and skew the floor price. Add a year to filter them out.

Don't know the year? Leave it blank and search — if this series has more than one printing year (common with relaunches reusing #1), we'll show you the options to pick from.

Tracked as its own separate entry from the plain book, and included in the search below to help confirm this specific version is listed.

Sort only changes the display order — the same listings are shown either way. Best Match ranks by relevance, like eBay's own search.
