Notes
- GoCollect requires a paid subscription ($9/mo Pro) for full FMV data, detailed sales history, and grade breakdowns. This scraper only extracts publicly available data.
- The hot comics list provides grade-based FMV at 7 grade points (2.0 through 9.6) without a login.
- Comic detail pages include price range (low/high) from JSON-LD schema data embedded in the page.
- A 1.5-second delay is applied between requests in detail mode to be respectful of the server.
