I have been submitting high quality scans of variant covers for a while and some get added and others don't. Nothing shows up in my pending section, only the ones that went through are showing up in my Hits column.

I've submitted

All-New Wolverine #35 Torque virgin variant
Batman/Maxx #1 Jim Lee B&W NYCC exclusive virgin variant.
Die! Die! Die! #3 Word bubble variant info
and TMNT #80 Mattina variant (virgin and regular covers)

For some reason these aren't being added but others that I submit are. It seems pretty random. Any idea what's going on?

Bbarbour,
We input hundreds of books, regular, variant and exclusives each week. When a member submits a book that starts the process. In the backend of the site, an admin claims them and then starts the research. They need to verify the cover, the existence of the book, pricing and who's exclusive.

For example, someone asked me about a specific Return of Wolverine cover that wasn't in our system. They asked about 1 book but when I start researching a title it makes sense to get all variants. I spent the entire day researching all the covers for Return of Wolverine, details, exclusives and current pricing from various sources. That kind of thing happens a lot. So there is some randomness to which book each admin does but if you submitted it, we will get to it.

I hope that clarifies things.
