WHAT THE SALES SHOW

Trailers barely moved the median.
The release window did.

In the 30 days around the December 9, 2017 teaser, the median moved from $207 (8 sales) to $202.50 (8 sales), a 2.2% decline. Around the June 6, 2018 full trailer, it moved from $235 (9 sales) to $240 (41 sales), a 2.1% increase.

The theatrical release was different. The 30 days before December 14 carried a $310 median across 31 sales; the following 30 days reached $399 across 48 sales, a 28.7% increase. The wider 90-day comparison points the same direction: $270 before and $356 after (+31.9%).

What changed around each event?

Median prices and recorded volumes in the 30 calendar days before and after each date. Event-day sales are excluded. Overlapping windows are not independent effects.

Samples below five transactions are flagged. Percentage changes are descriptive and do not establish causation. Trading is frequent enough around the 2017 teaser, 2018 full trailer and theatrical release to use monthly medians and 30-day event windows. Each side of the three primary event comparisons has at least eight recorded sales; 90-day sensitivity is discussed because the teaser windows remain comparatively small.

03 / THE LONG VIEW

Spider-Verse preceded a much larger collectibles boom.

2011—2026

The lifetime view uses all 16 GPA annual summaries, representing 2,823 recorded transactions. The annual average was $262 in 2018 and $348 in 2019, then jumped to $871 in 2020 and $2,540 in 2021. The highest annual average in this capture is $2,631 in 2022; 2026 is partial through September 17.

Annual averages reproduce GPA’s rounded summaries and differ from the medians above. The capture year is partial.

The film was an inflection point,
not the whole explanation.

The release-window increase is visible before the extreme 2020–2022 run-up. That supports describing Into the Spider-Verse as a meaningful media catalyst in the observed timeline, while the scale and timing of the later peak require broader context beyond this film alone.

RESEARCH NOTES

Traceable data.
Defined comparisons.

Recorded transactions, documented exclusions, and sourced events.

Capture audit

GPAnalysis ↗ · 2823 captured rows · 2823 eligible rows · 636 plotted rows. Capture scope: lifetime. Individual transactions cover every annual summary listed by GPA through the September 17, 2026 capture date.

Method selection

Trading is frequent enough around the 2017 teaser, 2018 full trailer and theatrical release to use monthly medians and 30-day event windows. Each side of the three primary event comparisons has at least eight recorded sales; 90-day sensitivity is discussed because the teaser windows remain comparatively small.

Book and category

The supplied GPA capture is labeled Ultimate Fallout #4, CGC 9.8 Universal, First Printing. This study keeps that category intact and does not pool other grades or separately listed variants and special categories.

Capture and reconciliation

All dated rows from 2011 through September 17, 2026 were supplied, totaling 2,823 recorded transactions. Every annual transaction count reconciles to the supplied GPA annual summary. No within-category rows were excluded. Repeated certificate numbers remain separate recorded transactions.

Defined comparisons

The baseline pools January–June 2017, before the first public teaser. Release month is December 2018. The one-year follow-up is December 2019. Event windows use days −30 through −1 and +1 through +30, excluding event-day sales because sale times are unavailable. Ninety-day sensitivity around the release is also reported in the interpretation.

Scope

Monthly medians pool individual recorded sales; annual curves reproduce GPA’s rounded annual averages. Prices are nominal and no inflation, fee, currency or broad-market adjustment is applied. The study describes timing and market behavior; it does not prove that the film alone caused the observed changes.
