8/20/2018 Topic: Self-Published Comics Ronbatman Administrator	If it's rare please send a good picture when you upload the book. That helps.
8/21/2018 Topic: what is happening with the toolbar? Ronbatman Administrator	Unfortunately, we can't adjust the site to work for screen resolution issues for older computers. We currently check the site for mobile devices, ipads, and desktops with different modern sizes. Sorry man.
8/22/2018 Topic: Values of my collection are dropping. Ronbatman Administrator	Draven, we've tested this with several accounts, it's working well. The value of your collection rises and falls with each change. (in less than 15 minutes) No, it wasn't part of the change. I personally did not change any X-men books but we have other people making price changes as well. When I look at the behind the scene data I see some increases in X-men books yesterday and some decreases as well. One book increased for certain grades and decreased for other grades.
8/24/2018 Topic: FANTASTIC FOUR VOL.1 #28 PRICE ADJUSTMENT Ronbatman Administrator	I didn't make this major adjustment to this book but when I looked at current completed auctions on eBay, Heritage, etc. the numbers look correct. Sometimes books get hot because of speculation and then drop off in value after the rush is over. It's always important to say, we don't control the market only report on it.
8/24/2018 Topic: Missing some True Believers Ronbatman Administrator	Since there isn't consistency on our site about this I'm going to move those 6 titles to their own page. (like the rest of the True Believers Titles) Give me a few minutes to do this. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/true-believers-phoenix-origins/pjxpjx One done, 5 to go, Ron
8/24/2018 Topic: Autographs/Signatures on Comics! Ronbatman Administrator	Sounds like he is working both sides to make a little extra cash.
8/30/2018 Topic: Hot New Issues Ronbatman Administrator	Ox, that's a good point, what is a low print run? Low print run + demand = price increase The price has definitely gone up so there is a demand. Is the demand manufactured artificially or is the demand because of interesting art or story?
8/30/2018 Topic: DC Comic Subscriptions Ronbatman Administrator	That's a great find especially if you have something good. Grading costs around $30 so my rule is to never grade anything below $50.
8/31/2018 Topic: Marvel's greatest comics Ronbatman Administrator	Are you talking about this title? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvels-greatest-comics/rjwr
9/3/2018 Topic: Autographs/Signatures on Comics! Ronbatman Administrator	Guest, you have some great autographs. Autographs are tricky, unless they are verified by a third party they are just for you. I have a Wrightson autograph in one of my Swamp Thing books and it's valuable to me.
9/3/2018 Topic: What was your first comic? Ronbatman Administrator	I read comics as a kid but didn't keep them. Pretty sure it would have been Casper or Richie Rich. Later, when I got back into comics I picked up a Batman comic issue 408. It was a great time to pick up Batman comics because Year 1 just finished and I was able to find them on the shelf, then 10 nights of the Beast then Death in the Family. It makes me smile just thinking about it.
9/5/2018 Topic: What was your first comic? Ronbatman Administrator	Pthomas, love the Hulk 180 story. fun stuff. There is a trend here. Most of the time someone introduced you to comics and then you were hooked. We need to be introducing people/kids to comics. If someone asks me about my collection I always have a stack of comics that I let them choose from. "Here, read one." I have some all-ages comics for kids who ask. Some of those people that I give comics to come back to me and say, "I'm hooked".
9/5/2018 Topic: Missing Cover Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 5 #1 Ronbatman Administrator	https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/amazing-spider-man-the/1/pkrwbrw Here it is
9/6/2018 Topic: WHAT'S HOT, WHAT'S NOT Ronbatman Administrator	Colbalt, I agree. That cover is freakin' amazing!

9/9/2018 Topic: Missing Batman #1 Walmart Exclusive Reprint Ronbatman Administrator	http://blog.comicspriceguide.com/2018/09/09/walmart-variant-issues-checklist/ Because these books are so confusing we wrote a post about it with links to all of them.
9/11/2018 Topic: Wal-Mart 100 page giant issues Ronbatman Administrator	I am working on those today. Here are the other Walmart comics http://blog.comicspriceguide.com/2018/09/09/walmart-variant-issues-checklist/
9/12/2018 Topic: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE ?? Ronbatman Administrator	We put in hundreds of books each week, every week for decades. The thing is, it's never enough. We will never be "caught up" especially when one book can have 100 variants. So my advice to everyone is to be kind and patient. If you feel like you've waited too long send me an email and I'll get it done. (usually in a day or two depending on my schedule) We have been working on admin tools to help improve speed but it's still a ridiculous number of books each week. Ron
9/13/2018 Topic: My Collection Improvements Ronbatman Administrator	If you go into your collection https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/ Then click on a specific publisher. https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/dc You will see that all of your titles are listed instead of just the titles under the letter "A". This should make it easier for you to find things. You can click on a specific letter if you have a bigger collection as well. The second improvement is to the Top Titles, top issues, top graded titles, to graded issues areas. All of those now display your top 10 most valuable in each category. (up from 5) That is for each publisher so you can know your top 10 Marvel, DC, Image, Dell, etc books at a glance. It's not a big change but hopefully, it makes someone happy. Ron
9/14/2018 Topic: The Spider-Verse is Hot Ronbatman Administrator	The latest blog post http://blog.comicspriceguide.com/2018/09/12/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-spider-verse/ If you compare the first appearances in this list to the value change page you can understand what's happening. Some of the really high priced items like 1st Spider Gwen and Spider Woman went down a little. Spider-Ham, Spider-Punk and Miles first appearances are hot. Anya and Noir haven't seen much increases. It's still interesting to watch the market adjust up and down. (mostly up related to the Spider-Verse) What do you think is going to rise as the movie and Spider-Geddon approach?
