I've got a question about the dates listed on some books, specifically recent books. The dates seem to be waaaay out of whack.
For instance: Batman 102 (https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman/102/phpwnsy)
Brand new book. I just picked up my copy today. The date on the listing shows January 2021. Obviously this is wrong.
Same thing with the two other books I got today (Black Widow 3 and ASM 51.LR).
Were these just anticipated release dates? Or is it a bug of some sort?

I was verifying some data and I see that people are actually submitting these dates.
See Avengers 38 for example.
According to Marvel.com, this was published November 2020. I can verify that my LCS had them in stock.
AccountantDan submitted January 2021 for cover A (member level 7)
scott.glass submitted January 2021 for cover C (member level 8)
I'd like to believe them since their member levels are so high, but what the heck are they doing?

I don't own the comics so guessing the dates in the indica are being used, for Avengers #37 it is December 2020 and #36 it is November 2020 and both of these have been approved.

Huh. Just looked at the indicia on my Batman 102 and you're absolutely right. Early January 2021. That makes absolutely no sense to me. I mean, that's two months away! I hope they do some serious adjusting to get it more in sync with the actual publish date.
Soooo, anybody want to go upvote those two Avengers 38 dates I noped? *whistling as I'm casually sauntering away...

If you go back to the verification that you noped, the points will show negative in red or positive green. Clicking on the point value will give a history of yes/no on the information. Your evaluations will have a little trashcan to the right. If you would like to reverse your nope, click the trashcan and it will be as if you never did the eval. You can then refresh the page and redo your verification

The release date and the published date have always been different by months. This isn't anything new, weird but not new
Batman 200 from 1968
On sale in January, 1968
Published date March, 1968

What makes it even more confusing is that while there's the published date in the indicia, the actual publisher website lists the release date as the published date.
I totally get why we go with what the book says. That's what people have in hand, so that's what they would expect any database to show.
