Here is a list of things that you might find helpful. It's good for you to know what's going on here at our offices.
1. UPC's
Any member can add a UPC to the site. When you add it to your collection and have the book in front of you, help us out and add the UPC. All numbers in the UPC area should be used. This helps everyone coming after you to scan the book to add it. Pay it forward for your fellow collectors
2. Price Suggestions
If you think a price is too low or too high, suggest an update. Let's say you have seen What's the Furthest Place from Here? #1 going for more at an auction. Go to the issue page
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/whats-the-furthest-place-from-here/1/phtplxs
Click on the Values tab
Right above the Graded Value column is a button called "Suggest Value Update"
ONLY use an Auction or Sales site. ComicLink, Heritage, eBay, or another auction site
3. Weekly Books
We have been a little behind since the one and only, Jesse, retired. However, two admins have stepped up and are learning fast. We are working on a faster, automated system that should be in place next week. If you see scans that are missing, please feel free to jump in and add them to the system.
4. Pressing and Cleaning Comics
At our offices in Indianapolis, we have pressed thousands of books. If you are a member of the site, you can submit books for cleaning and pressing for only $10/book. Ridiculously low price. We typically run at less than 1-week lead time to turn your books. Today we are pressing some Fantastic Four issues for a comic shop here in town. 1st Agatha! What a gorgeous book.
5. Hiring
We would love to hire someone locally to help us. If you know someone in the Indianapolis area looking for a job, please send them our way. For the last 3 years, we have grown by an average of 25% EACH YEAR. Our goal is to always be improving, automating when possible, and providing our customers with the best experience. If you know someone with that mentality, we can train the rest. We have been looking at a larger office space but that is still preliminary.
Please let me know if you have questions or comments,
Ron

Question on #4 if books are sent in for pressing and cleaning to CPG, can those books be shipped directly to a grading service?

We haven't done that before because of the time to do so. If you sent us their shipping package we would do it. Obviously, we would need to communicate about shipping costs and when your online form was complete. But it is possible.
