6/19/2023 Topic: Wolverine 88 raw 9.4 worth more than graded? Ronbatman Administrator	That sort of thing happens from time to time. Graded comic collectors tend to go after 9.8 and 9.6 and sometimes the 9.4 is an overlooked value. I've updated these values. Ron
6/20/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	We have started two new themes, carrying covers and Pieta covers. How we define them. Carrying Cover - one person standing or flying while carrying another person. https://comicspriceguide.com/themes/carrying-covers/pl Pieta Covers - one person kneeling while holding another person. https://comicspriceguide.com/themes/pieta-covers/pm Excluded from either theme. Someone throwing someone else. Multiple people carrying one person like a funeral. We need your suggestions. What covers can you think of that are carrying or pieta covers? Ron
6/20/2023 Topic: Dashboard links Ronbatman Administrator	This has been fixed. It will now take you to the top issues, top titles, top graded issues and top graded titles page. Ron
6/20/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	These are great. Thank you! I’ll add those when I get back in the office tomorrow Ron
6/21/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	Collectible, Thank you, you sparked a memory about other Star Wars issues that were carrying or Pieta. Fantastic Four 1234 4 is a tough one. It's a mix of both which is probably why you didn't label it like you did the others. Glorkar, All of yours have been added. Thanks Ron

6/22/2023 Topic: Is this the right place to post? Ronbatman Administrator	If you let me know I can confirm it and then add it. We don't let members submit 1st appearances through the system because of consistency. We want every first appearance across the entire site to be exactly the same setup. 1st Appearance of ________ (real name) Ron
6/22/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	Thank you for all the help. Avengers 87 has the right stance but the scene is outside his legs so I didn't include it. Kissing covers can be almost if it's obvious. Eyes closed, lips pursed, etc. Ron
6/22/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	I added American Gothic covers today. (42 so far) We are discussing several options Nighthawks covers (diner) Santa Patriotic or flag based Bondage Cornered against a wall Spanking Nazi Riding Missiles Good girl Mona Lisa Statue of Liberty etc. The problem. I enjoy doing these as well but my time cannot be solely used for this. I've already devoted 3 full days to this because I sent the newsletter about it. We want to provide good quality information instead of just milking customers for more cash. If you read our newsletter you can see that we don't often sell our services, we provide value or prizes. If I talk about something in the newsletter, I want it to be helpful, fun or informative. Based on that, I think today is the last day I'm going to work on this for a few days. I'll jump back in next week. Ron
6/22/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	Sure, have fun. Ron
6/23/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	I need a little creative thought today, maybe you can help. So, the original idea for a carrying cover was related to the imagery of Crisis on Infinite Earths 7. Two hands holding someone while standing on the ground. As I've gone along I noticed that Superman, Batman and Spider-man carry people all the time while flying or swinging. I think that's a different theme somehow. What would you call that theme? Think Amazing Fantasy 15 cover or Detective 27 cover or the hundreds of Superman covers with him flying someone around Please give me your ideas for a good name Ron
6/26/2023 Topic: Carrying Cover and Pieta Covers Ronbatman Administrator	Ok, so I need to revise some of the theme descriptions but here are the basics. Pieta Covers - The hero is kneeling while holding or cradling someone who is injured or dead. Carrying Covers - The hero is standing while holding someone who is injured, dead or in need of help. Along for the Ride Covers - The hero is swinging or flying while holding someone. What do you all think?
6/27/2023 Topic: New Blog Post Ronbatman Administrator	I haven't written many blog posts lately but today I wrote a weird one. It's interesting what you can learn when you study a title, even one that doesn't interest you. I've gained a new appreciation for Dan DeCarlo. His art is more than just inappropriate covers, like Betty and Me #16 or #37. No doubt, those are shocking the first time you see them. If you would like to read the blog post here is the link. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/what-dan-decarlo-taught-me-about-fashion/ Ron PS - In the next day or two I'll write this week's newsletter. Ideas are always welcomed.
6/29/2023 Topic: New Blog Post Ronbatman Administrator	In an effort to write the next newsletter, I've accidentally written another blog post. This started as an AI prompt about 1968. When I checked the 15 suggestions, 13 were totally fabricated or incorrect. As a meager human, I decided to write it without AI help. https://blog.comicspriceguide.com/comic-books-from-1968-that-might-surprise-you/ Ron
7/3/2023 Topic: Comic Book Price Guide app issues Ronbatman Administrator	Some new issues might not have the scans added yet which could cause the problem. If the books are from this week they won't have the scans until after Wednesday since most images before that are preproduction images. R
