What a chaos-magic job tends to cost
Prices below are starting points. A foil hex cover with a die-cut window takes longer to note than a flat newsstand pamphlet. An NFT comic box with mismatched serials may end at the brief, with no purchase at all.
| Commission | Starting point | What moves the figure |
|---|---|---|
| Chaos-magic issue sourcing | From £85 search retainer, plus agreed purchase budget | Most UK-sourceable keys: 10–21 days; overseas or graded copies: 3–8 weeks |
| Chaos-magic run consultation | £120 for a 90-minute studio session; £95 by video if the copies stay with you | 90 minutes, plus a two-page note within three days |
| Condition notes and grading prep | From £40 per issue; bound volumes quoted after a photograph | Three to seven days per small batch |
| Wirecore archival folios | From £175 for a twelve-issue folio; extra boards and labelled spines quoted | Three to five weeks after the issues are in studio |
| NFT comic collector editions | £70 for a written edition brief; £150 if we also source a named drop | Brief in five days; sourcing follows the flagship timeline |
Estimate factors we actually use
Issue count, whether copies must remain sealed, whether you want already-graded slabs, and whether the run includes overseas dealers. UK-sourceable Scarlet Witch keys are cheaper to hunt than a named CGC copy sitting in a US listing with a stubborn seller.
Folio cloth, spine lettering, and extra boards are quoted after we measure your copies. We will not guess a folio price from a photograph of a longbox lid.
Deposits: the £85 sourcing retainer is due before search starts. Folio work asks for 40% before cloth is cut. Consultations are paid when you book the hour. None of these are subscriptions.
