comics.org has it for an admin to get the pic and info: https://www.comics.org/issue/278239/ . good place to bookmark when you find a missing issue to report. CPG has the other series that publisher did tho, just not this one for some reason.

finally found a better pic, yours appears to be a camera pic, and CPG doesn't accept those usually. there's a virgin foil version too, so attached that too.
CPG pic standards: Get a good square-on scan (not a camera pic), .jpg, .png, or .gif format preferred, cropped to the edges of the comic. If you can't, then find them on the net, with no watermarks, no signatures, no pro-graded ones, no bagged/boarded pics unless it's a factory polybag, and try to make sure they're a published version, not a pre-production pic (like a Previews solicitation often is), as those get changed in production all the time.
get pics at comics.org, leagueofcomicgeeks.com, e**y if necessary, if you know how to copy and convert their webp images to jpg (you can do that for free at https://ezgif.com/webp-to-jpg , don't have to sign up or nuthin'), the publisher's site if still in business and they have it, and it's not the pre-production version, and a google image search if all those others fail. there's other comic database sites too.

Used the jpeg converter. Lmk if this is usable.

well yeah, it' usable, but I already posted the links to the league for CPG to use, and theirs are already .jpg, so CPG can choose which to use. you only need the converter for webp format pics like they use now on e**y. comics.org and the league, if they have the pics, are .jpg, so fine to copy and upload as is.

the leagueofcomicgeeks has most all the variants of that series. https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/7662762/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-1 , so you can right click on those there and open them in a new tab, they'll open full size, and you can copy and add them here using the Missing Variant link on the TMNT #1 listing. have fun, I know you love using computers smile.
your link to the series doesn't work cuz the period at the end is included in the hyperlink. you need to leave a space after the links before you put a period on them, or just leave off the period if it's the end of a sentence. also you wrote TNMT instead of TMNT smile

I saw another well-known database site that listed this series as Vol 7. so seems to be some disagreement on that. Ronbatman can weigh in next time he checks the forums and 'splain things.

if you're using the missing variant function and it's taking them, then no, you don't need to post them on the forum too. CPG prefers people to use the 'system' to report variants, so save yourself some posting time and just use that. if you don't know, you can check to see if your variant subs have been added yet this way (copied from Ron's post from 2020): "When you submit a variant on the site, that variant will appear in your account under the issue. For example, let's suppose you added a variant to Detective 1027.
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/detective-comics/1027/phppctw
If you went to the bottom of the variants listed, you will see your variant submission last. No one but you can see that submission. You also have the ability to edit it or delete it."
so with that many variants for #1, you can bookmark them individually instead of having to scroll a ton to get to your subbed ones to see if they're still in the queue or not.

MISSING: Bug Wars #1 Ashcan

copied, cropped the left edge, and tweaked the pic up a bit, and attached it. tried to submit it as Missing Issue, but still get the 'can't add it to the queue' error, so wish they'd get that fixed. creators list here: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/9108715/bug-wars-ashcan-1
and where did you get the 19.99 cover price? ashcans are usually free, never seen one with that high a cover price.
and CPG, what's the deal with this listing, seems that should go with the regular title listing? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/bug-wars/piqyos
reg. title: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/bug-wars/piqyop

Have you put in a missing issue request? I'm not involved in new issues but I'd imagine they have a pipeline they get them from, and if it's not there they'd need something official from you to point it out (sometimes the forums count as official, but sometimes they do not).

but the Missing Issue thing is not working, hasn't been for a couple weeks. all we get after submitting is a message that it 'can't be added to the queue.' I've posted about this a couple times, also in the Issues forum, and to bryan neeley directly. so we wait...

admins look at the forum last, so going thru the system gets it to them quicker. if you find a TITLE or maybe a stand-alone one-shot that's missing, then you have to post that here since only admins can add titles.

Thanks for the assistance! I originally tried to submit it as a Missing Issue, but I was receiving the same error.
As for the $19.99 cover price, I just looked around online to see how much it was going for during the NYCC weekend. I realize ashcans are usually free, but being that it was a retailer exclusive, I figured most collectors were purchasing it.
But CPG doesn't use selling price for the cover price listing, only for the value listing. And just in case you run into a UK Marvel or other foreign published comic, don't submit a cover price unless it has one in US dollars (but no Australian dollar/cents). So no pence, francs, pesos, etc, just leave the price field blank, they'll add a subnote about the price.

DC Dollar Tree reprints

I didn't know Dollar Tree had DC reprints, and I'm in there all the time, but not in that aisle apparently, or mine just haven't gotten any yet. they just started doing that in Dec apparently, so good chance CPG doesn't have them listed and will have to rely on members to post them or submit them as missing issues, except that at the moment, the missing issue report thing isn't working. bleedingcool says there's 38+ titles. GCD and the league don't have them either.

odd that they missed this. it's better to link to a place like leagueofcomicgeeks.com, they tend to get them up with the variant covers too, and creator credits: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/9705030/wolverine-revenge-4 . there's 4 covers total.

Transformers (2024, Image) entire series

this it? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/transformers/phwtiw . that's the skybound 2023-current series, goes to #17 for Feb 2025.
the other ones you're talking about are under just Image, yet they're 10th printings of the 2023 #1, so CPG, why aren't they continued after the 9th printing on that series?

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/transformers/piqwct has the 10th reprints of #1, and this one, #10th-J is by itself, should be listed with the other (2023) series too: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/transformers/piqwcw
so an admin will have to fix this.

Topic:
Correct Artist Name?

collectibleshop

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-nightwatcher/1/pitvjrs
I submitted him on that issue the way CPG has him in the creator's database (Fernando Peniche), but this name stuff is a pain and happens with tons of artists on here. I don't know who enters the subtitles and why they sometimes choose a nickname that's not what the normal database has, unless the publisher used that name in the issue's credits instead of a full name. too many artists go by various names, initials, spellings, some have the 'accent' mark over a vowel but that may or may not be how the database has it, so you can't find them to add unless you know about the accent mark thing. Like David Baldeon, who has an accent mark on the O, but won't come up if you don't use that, and I can't get my keyboard to make the correct accent mark despite the various instructions online. He should come up whether you use the accent mark or not, wish CPG would fix that. I know if you type like balde then it will give choices of creators that start like that, and his name comes up then. so it has an 'autofill' function to a degree.
this is Fernando's creator profile page: https://comicspriceguide.com/creators/fernando-peniche-fero
one of the quirks I keep forgetting is that, like with Fero, since that's a nickname and you'd have to know that, is you have to put single quote marks around it to have it come up in the database when you're adding him to an issue, as in 'Fero'. Otherwise using just Fero comes up with nothing.

don't have the time to do all the work for you, but check the variants at leagueofcomicgeeks, they have multiple 10th printings of that cover (keep scrolling down): https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/1370408/void-rivals-1
image's site only shows the 8th print. check e**y too, if there's a non-foil version it will likely be there.

Missing comics

On the Goofy, the correct title is Four Color #1149. they own Dell. this is a common problem with those 2 publishers, so keep in mind you need check the indicia/publishing info inside the comic to see the correct title, as that's what CPG goes by. It's here:
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/four-color/1149/pjtwbv
on the Kraft one, apparently they don't have it, and I did multiple searches with various key words. under Kraft for publisher, they have nothing. Comics.org has it, it's the only comic they have for Kraft Foods, if some admin wants to add it: https://www.comics.org/series/159314/

so like the Thing is Big Ben issue, you mean it's showing under just Marvel in YOUR collection list? cuz like The Thing, it shows as Marvel UK in the search results. you know you can message Ronbatman or another admin about these things, might get done quicker and they may be able to fix it for all the marvel uk stuff in people's collections.
