CollectVault is built on top of a number of community and commercial data sources. This page acknowledges them and surfaces the attribution required by each provider's license.
Comic publisher, series, issue, and genre catalog metadata is derived from the Grand Comics Database data dump, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0. CollectVault filters the GCD dataset (post-1970 English-language comics from major Direct Market publishers), maps it onto our internal schema, and modifies it (for example, normalizing genres into our own categories). The GCD is a volunteer-built project; we recommend contributing missing data back to them directly at comics.org rather than to CollectVault. GCD does not endorse CollectVault, and is not responsible for the accuracy of any valuation or recommendation we generate from their data.
Fair-market-value data and product catalog for comics and trading cards are licensed from PriceCharting. Prices update daily and are blended with proprietary user-logged sale comps to produce CollectVault's displayed market values.
Pokémon card data and images are sourced from pokemontcg.io. Pokémon and all related properties are trademarks of Nintendo, Game Freak, and The Pokémon Company. CollectVault is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.
Live marketplace listings shown in the Deal Hunt and copy-detail pages are sourced from eBay's Browse API. eBay does not endorse CollectVault and is not responsible for the accuracy of CollectVault's valuations or recommendations.
Cover photos, custom notes, and other content uploaded by CollectVault users remain their property; users grant CollectVault a limited license to display that content within the Service as described in our Terms of Service.
CollectVault is built on Next.js (React), Prisma, Tailwind CSS, and many other open-source libraries. A full list lives in our package.json; each library is used under its own upstream license.
