The Guide is incorrectly posting blind bags as a comic. This poses multiple problems. First some blind bags come with multiple issues per bag. The original price is based on the bag with all comics but then looking at values it shows prices based on that number which is understandable if you sell the bag unopened but this disregards the value of each individual comic. A rare virgin cover will not be bought or sold at the same price as a blank common cover. Also as far as pricing, the graded values reflect the bag as a whole and obviously each comic would be graded individually. This makes all blind bag graded values incorrect.
Further more, thinking of the future. What if you look up a comic not knowing it was a blind bag and you dont have the pics to match it to? I'll give the example of "Harley Quinn X Elvira" #6 blind bag I purchased.

I received a blind bag Amanda Conner virgin cover. We have her virgin cover listed at a $50 value but no pic. Is it the same? I assume not but if that cover is high dollar wouldnt a similar blind bag cover have a high value too?
Another example is "Vampirella" Vol8 #1 blind bag that came as a three pack.

Sold at about $20, values reflect that price but graded values follow the same. So if graded is each one per that value or do I divide by 3?
Finally, if listing comics sold by package there are missing listings. For example my "Transformers" Toys R Us 3 pack or my "Youngblood" collectors pack (see pic).
The collectors pack even is numbered, that should be listed as a whole before a blind bag.
Please correct the blind bags as they are not comics. I understand this is easier and a way to get new comics listed quickly in a modern age of infinite covers per comic but this will only cause future problems let alone the inaccuracy.
Please dont take this as anger or rudeness I know you guys work hard and each comic has too many details with nonstop new editions, Im just picky.
Thanks

The blind bag craze is making a mess, but they can be cleaned up by having some kind of rule as to how to list the comics inside the bag. Keenspot has done a great job of this by naming every cover they are offering and giving them a cover number. I have included an example where the blind bag is cover A, and each possible cover is assigned a number, so number 10 becomes A10, number 72 is A72. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/mark-spears-monsters---the-monster-wolf/1/pixqovy
So even though the blind bag is not a comic, it contains one or more, so the included covers should be cover (whatever the bag was for the cover) and the number or letter of the variant inside of the bag.
As far as value, still sealed would be based on what the bag was sold for, once opened, it is subject to the commonality or scarcity of the comic included.
