Scan a comic cover to identify the issue, check its value tier, and decide what to keep, sell, or bulk-lot. Comic Scry is built for inherited comic boxes, estate finds, garage-sale hauls, and shop intake — no comic knowledge required. WHO IT'S FOR • Estate executors going through a relative's collection • Garage-sale flippers and bulk-lot resellers • Comic shop owners doing intake • Anyone who's stood over a box of old comics wondering "is any of this worth pulling out?" WHAT EACH SCAN RETURNS • A value tier — Bulk, Modest, Solid, High, or Major — for one-glance decisions • A Scry Value range (low to high USD) — built from current eBay listings, what other collectors are asking for the same book right now. A market signal, not an appraisal • Printing-aware identification — it tells a 1963 original from a 1991 relaunch, so the value matches the printing you actually have • Slab-aware — point it at a graded CGC/CBCS book and it reads the grade off the label and flags it as a graded copy • Flags on the covers worth slowing down on — so the good ones don't end up in the bulk lot • On-device photo-quality checks that catch glare and blur before the scan goes anywhere — with a one-tap override for bright covers that trip the check • CSV export of your entire collection (with Comic Scry Pro) HANDS-FREE WITH SIRI • "Hey Siri, check my Comic Scry collection" — ask out loud whether you already own a book while your hands are full at a shop or sale. Siri answers yes or no from your collection, then offers to check another. • Ask Siri what your collection's worth, your most valuable book, or how many you have. • "Scan a comic in Comic Scry" jumps straight to the camera — also mappable to the Action Button. WHAT IT'S NOT • Not a grading service. It won't grade your raw book 9.0 vs 9.2 (it reads an already-slabbed grade off the label). • Not a collection tracker. The job is fast decisions at the moment of intake, not encyclopedic cataloging. • Not a get-rich machine. Most books in any box are bulk; the value is finding the rare exceptions before they get lost in one. PRICING • 5 free scans to try — no signup, no card. • $19.99 unlocks 500 scans (Comic Scry Pro). Credits never expire. No subscription, no recurring fee. • Restore Purchases works through your Apple ID — your Pro purchase follows you to a new install. PRIVACY • Cover photos are processed in memory and never saved to your camera roll. • No account, no email collected, no third-party analytics or trackers. • Your collection stays on your device. When the on-device tiers can't identify a cover, the photo is sent to our identification service, used for that one identification, and never stored on our servers. Full policy: comicscry.com/privacy. HONESTY When the identification engine can't recognize a cover, you get told plainly. When a cached price is stale, we tell you to treat it as a starting point — the market may have moved. Built solo by Adam Kinney.

Value ranges now come from current eBay listings — what other collectors are asking for the same book, right now. A real market signal, not a guide-price guess. ### 1.0.7 — 2026-06-17 Know your reprints. Scan a famous key — Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27, Amazing Fantasy #15 — and Scry now asks which printing you're holding, with cover prices to match. A $1 reprint isn't the million-dollar original, and we won't pretend it is. Even though for a second I thought I had a million dollar comic... ### 1.0.6 — 2026-06-16 You can feel it now. Every scan lands with weight in your hand — a soft tap for a bulk book, a real buzz when you turn up a key. The treasure moment finally has a feel. Also in this one: • Search your collection by issue — type "x-men 2" and land right on it • Sharper reads on busy covers — better issue-number detection on barcoded and cluttered books • Polished share cards Keep digging. ## More apps by Adam Kinney - [Gurn](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gurn/id6781446277) All apps by Adam Kinney: https://appshunter.io/developer/1066387718 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
