9/9/2025 Topic: Flaming Carrot Comics collectibleshop	right here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/flaming-carrot-the-wild-shall-wild-remain/1trade_paperback/plvslr for future reference, always state the publisher and year, it really helps to know.
9/11/2025 Topic: Flaming Carrot Comics collectibleshop	yeah, it may not be titled correctly. what does the indicia call it? if it says Flaming Carrot COMICS inside, then CPG has it titled wrong. using fewer keywords often finds stuff. using just Flaming Carrot and choosing 'trade paperback' in the Comic Type menu brings it up at the bottom of the list. not sure why it isn't under the TPB tab of the Dark Horse 1988-99 series where another similar TPB is, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/flaming-carrot-comics/pjsrn . but I think I read somewhere that yours reprints issues #4-11, probably of the Renegade series? But since this was published by Dark Horse (right?) then it oughta be listed with the 1988 series, so maybe they'll do that when someone sees this.
9/11/2025 Topic: Invincible Blind Variants collectibleshop	thought I posted about this before, but don't see it, may have gone on to other things and forgot. the Invincible #19 BB is here, if that's the correct one, and it's kinda listed all by itself: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/invincible-19-blind-bag-exclusive/1/piysoxu . part of the problem there is they have the 19 as part of the title and call the issue #1, so if you search with just Invincible in the title and 19 in the issue number box, the BB doesn't come up. If you search for Invincible Blind Bag as the title with no issue number, it comes up. If you search with just Blind Bag as the title, both of these come up. MTU one is here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvel-team-up-blind-bag-exclusive/pirqjv . also found it using Marvel Team-up #14 and Any type. They don't use the #14 in the search results title, so dunno why they do with the Invincible, so maybe they'll get that matching eventually. Must be a pain to figure out how to list these and with what series. I'm guessing since the BB's weren't published by Marvel, then CPG won't list them under the corresponding Marvel titles. And I noticed there's two series with same dates of Invincible Universe Battle Beast--seems to be dupes, as #1E is the same in both: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/invincible-universe-battle-beast/pisqcx and https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/invincible-universe-battle-beast/pisqcy Fun with variants/exclusives.. edited by collectibleshop on 9/11/2025
9/11/2025 Topic: There's a Hair in My Dirt!: A Worm's Story collectibleshop	yeah, the Capt is likely right on this book, since it's not a compilation of Larson's strips.

I finally found the other cover and have submitted it as a missing variant, so they'll get to it when they get to it. they got to it! https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/street-fighter-unlimited/1-HAVEN/piyvkts
9/11/2025 Topic: Possible Variant collectibleshop	it's been added now: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/fallen-angel/14B/piyvhvp
9/11/2025 Topic: Invincible Blind Variants collectibleshop	yeah, it's a bit squirrely how they list these. These two are actually not listed as variants tho and CPG has 'figured' the values at about $20 for 9.4, assume based on auction and other sales. But for your OWN collection listing, of course you'd have to open it to check condition to assign a value, but that's up to you. Generally, MOST collectors have abandoned the 'it's worth more in a sealed bag' notion over the years, that's a marketing gimmick, and conservation experts advise bagged comics to be removed from the bags too. If sent in to be pro-graded, they're gonna open the bags too (and not send them back), and people will pay whatever they think the grade is worth. Since you know what comic is supposed to be in the bags eventually, and as long as they are a BB variant only, then no harm in opening it (and keeping the bag somewhere), in my opinion, but that's up to each collector. I haven't gone to see what the bag looks like, so dunno what it states about issue number or other text on it, but if these comics only come in the blind bags, then once everyone knows what it is, then no real point in keeping it bagged except for 'purists', cuz if you see a raw one for sale you know it was a blind bag edition. I agree they should be listed as variants under whatever Invincible series they correspond with too, so maybe CPG will do that if they read this thread. you can contact ronbatman if you want a more direct pleading, but he's very busy at the moment from what I've been told. but at least now you can catalog them. edited by collectibleshop on 9/11/2025
9/11/2025 Topic: Flaming Carrot Comics collectibleshop	Yeah, the hardcover is no doubt the same stories, just done years later and signed & numbered. if you can get a pic of the indicia of yours and attach it to a post, that will help CPG to know if it's titled correctly. Inside the book should tell you what issues it reprints too, and that would help CPG to note that.
9/15/2025 Topic: Batmen/Superman #1 Kaare Andrews Cover - Third Eye collectibleshop	this it? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-superman/1-THIRD/phsynrw that series has a space between the backslash and names, unlike most of the other series similar to it, so it doesn't come up with batman/superman, but does with batman / superman. don't ask me why that is, it's just one of many inconsistencies here. for future reference, it helps 1000% to attach a pic or post a link to the issue from somewhere so we know what we're looking for. also post a link to the series on here, if you can find it, or at least the Vol number or year started, since there's often multiple series with the same title. in this case it's the Vol 2, 2019 series: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-superman/pkspnx
9/22/2025 Topic: Weapon Zero #0 collectibleshop	SHOULD come up using Weapon Zero #0, but doesn't , so they need to fix that. just using weapon zero it's at the bottom of the results: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/weapon-zero/0%20(5)/poxtnt . dunno what the 5 has to do with anything.
9/22/2025 Topic: Uncanny X-Men (Vol 6) #21 collectibleshop	"It's Twue! It's twue, it's twue!" And that's tonight's reference for old people who remember Madeline Kahn in Blazing Saddles. Favorite Mel Brooks movie.
9/22/2025 Topic: Missing Variant of Incredible Hulk #624 collectibleshop	can you attach a pic? I looked at all my usual go-to's for it and couldn't find it anywhere, even e**y which usually has all the variants, so a pic may help. you may have gotten an off-color printing job too, that happens.
9/27/2025 Topic: Skybound GI Joe Issues 10 & 11? collectibleshop	see this thread, although they have the same complaint, and are waiting for CPG to get the issues added: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=20335
9/27/2025 Topic: BIG APOLOGY AND MORE MIA BOOKS collectibleshop	thanks for the kudos. I don't get paid for the help, so technically not a 'professional' . but guys, you all know about comics.org right? they have both titles, although not much info, but they have pics for CPG to add. always good to check there instead of other sites that have watermarked pics or pics not up to CPG standards. attached a pic for Felix, and they can get the Grunge 1-3 at https://www.comics.org/series/50267/covers/ Felix publisher page: https://comicspriceguide.com/publishers/felix Beren, if you have easy access to yours, it saves CPG mucho time if you list the creator credits. comics.org doesn't have that info on these, so it means doing internet searches for that info. thanks on behalf of the admins. edited by collectibleshop on 9/27/2025
9/29/2025 Topic: BIG APOLOGY AND MORE MIA BOOKS collectibleshop	Beren12 wrote: Hey thanks for the assist once again. I did not think these would be too hard so hopefully these will appear in the near future and I can list them. Thanks so much for that head's up; I can absolutely do that with the issues I have left (list the creative team behind the book). Also (to the moderator) I noticed that the Dr Strange Mystic Apprentice, Fernandez variant, does not yet have a value, I am guessing that is being researched. thanks to all; I will wait on the 2 above before getting into the next ones, Beren12 if you click on the Values tab for the Doc Strange or any comic with no value, it will open this message: "This issue has been recently added to our database and research on its value has not started. Books are researched in order of popularity, so if you own this issue, please add it to your collection. Until research is complete, this book will add a $0 value to your collection total." so since it's probably not very 'popular', it may be ways down the totem pole for value researching. Depending on how much time you have to check, you can bookmark a sold auction search for it on e*y and let CPG know when 1 sells. So far I don't see any sold the last 2 months, and only a couple for sale, and asking prices are meaningless of course. so may be while till they get any sold values from anywhere. edited by collectibleshop on 9/29/2025*
9/29/2025 Topic: Mo' corrections collectibleshop	according to the indicia on GCD, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/scottglass/1/pkprksr , the title has no issue number, it's just James Bond: Moneypenny. So like the spoon in the Matrix, there's is no #1....
9/30/2025 Topic: Lawbreakers Always Lose -1948-49 - wrong publisher collectibleshop	that's cuz CPG goes by the indicia, and the indicia for #1-10 says it was published by Crime Bureau Stories. See comics.org indicia pic for issue #1: https://www.comics.org/issue/211206/image/ . Starting with #6 they added the Marvel logo. As noted on comics.org starting with #6: Publisher's Brand: Marvel Comic [round logo] Indicia / Colophon Publisher: Crime Bureau Stories Inc. So both publishers are correct, but CPG goes by what the indicia says. happens a lot when companies are absorbed by bigger ones, sometimes they keep the old indicia publisher name in the comic, but it's owned by the bigger company. comics.org is a good place to check out info like this, when they have it. edited by collectibleshop on 9/30/2025
9/30/2025 Topic: Lawbreakers Always Lose -1948-49 - wrong publisher collectibleshop	yeah, it's a bit screwy trying to keep all the publishers straight when they get bought out multiple times, or restart under another publisher. Look at how many 'imprints' are under Marvel. And under Atlas they don't list Medalion Publishing Corp. or Canam Publishers Sales Corp, which is what you say the indicia says. not a huge deal and it would take them years to 'correct' all that type of 'mistake' and not worth the effort.
10/2/2025 Topic: Missing Variant of Incredible Hulk #624 collectibleshop	my best guess is that you just have a faded or low-toner printed copy. seeing as how it's from 2011, it may have been displayed where sun or long-term fluorescent light was on it. sometimes the printer gets low on just 1 color and they don't catch it in time, and that can make all the difference in the other colors, and poorly printed copies get sent out. that's pretty common in small quantities. otherwise I'd think by now someone would note this was a variant.
10/4/2025 Topic: X-Men (Vol 7) #22 collectibleshop	yep. pic attached of the right one.
