Bryan worked on that feature last week. We wanted it to be easy to read and to add another feature for our paying members. The stats will be slanted toward 9.4 since that is the default but as members change the grade that graph will change. Glad you guys are enjoying it.

I just looked in the cue for variants and there are only 29 issues and these aren't included. So I'm guessing you put it on the forum only. I'm sorry that we didn't add it yet, I'll take care of this today.

In the future please submit all variants into the system so that they do not get buried or overlooked.

Do you Pooh? is in the system. The Secret Wars #8 Homage Venomized version is here

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/do-you-pooh/1-BALCC/pkuxmus


The sketch covers for this title are basically 1 of 1 so they are impossible to price. We will continue to add any of the other variants for Do you Pooh? that you have in your collection.

If someone (Oxbladder) would like for their information to be excluded from the graph, you can go to "account settings" then click on the "settings" tab. In there you will see a checkbox to keep your collection out of the public eye.

If your books show in the graph, members can only see that someone owns a book in a certain grade and not that you specifically own that book. Based on that, I don't think it's a big deal to have your books in our new graph.

Mary Poppins Returns

It's difficult to remake a movie that was loved for so long, like Mary Poppins.

I haven't seen the movie but it's interesting that you are bringing up black history related to this movie. Mary Poppins was originally written in the 1930s when all kinds of things/words/actions were allowed against minorities. If Disney portrayed the movie like the books, it would be offensive to modern society, myself included. Some rewriting is necessary.

I get the intent of what you're saying and I don't like history being rewritten to support a cause or agenda. History should be mostly facts but it's often more complicated. I've tried to avoid the political discussion with this post. (hopefully I did that)

If you look on the details tab at the bottom after the "For Sale" area.

Here's Batman 400 as an example

Hmmm, I just tried mine and it works fine. You are trying the arrows on the left side correct? Is this the page you're talking about? https://comicspriceguide.com/organize/

Approving Data and Increasing Your Ranking

Ronbatman

This is a step by step procedure on how to submit data and increase your ranking on CPG.





Everyone starts off as a “0” rank. upset That doesn’t mean you aren’t valued and important only that we don’t know you yet. To get to a 1 ranking, all you have to do is submit 5 pieces of information. I suggest going through books you have that don’t have a price on the site. When someone approves those 5 things you become a 1. Yay you!





After you become a 1 you can go to this page and help verify things.





https://comicspriceguide.com/verify-data





Important Side Note – For any piece of data to be approved some member or admin has to give it 10 points. Obviously, if you’re a 1 you’re not approving anything by yourself, but you are helping. The more things you approve the higher your ranking. To approve a specific creator for a book a member who is a 1, a 5 and a 4 could approve it because that is 10 points. Or a 1 and a 9 could approve it. You get the idea.





We are a tribe of comic book people making something that is awesome by working together.





Back to the step by step


1. Go to https://comicspriceguide.com/verify-data


2. Click on one of the four tabs, covers, published dates, cover prices or creators.


3. Confirm or deny the data based on your collection or a trustworthy source. Cover prices are the easiest because they are usually printed on the cover scan.


4. If you cannot confirm or deny the information, go to the next item.


5. When a book reaches 10 points confirming it will be removed from this list and put on the site with no asterisk.





Some information like missing issues and variants can only be approved by Admins. However, if you get to be a 9 on the site and want to become an admin, please let us know. By the time you’ve reached a 9 we probably already know your name.


Here is my name,
Ron

I see what you're talking about. Give us a few minutes to work on the code and get this going again. Thanks for the heads up

Donald, I don't know what number you have to reach to become a "5" or any other level, sorry. Your information has to be approved before it adds to your total.

Solarno, there's chocolate and coffee somewhere? (scouring the area, picking up comics, statues and mail looking) It's funny because I'm drinking coffee right now.
The CPG admins do so much great work for the site. They are the real MVP's.

Nice lot of vampire books. I'm a sucker for those Creepy/Eerie issues and vampire books. Dang it, I like all the books you picked up.

You need to take care of the talent or they won't come back so that's a big issue. Hopefully they can get these things worked out.

I just noticed that you added several posts with new books. Captain America 110 is on my top 10 most wanted list. There is something appealing about that book, maybe it's the intensity of Hulk or the drama created by Steranko. Whatever it is, I want that book for my collection.

Changes in Value

Ronbatman

The historical value of a book can only go back to the latest version of the database from my understanding. All value changes are just database entry changes and thus could be seen if we formatted things differently. I don't think this is a bad idea but I'm concerned about the work involved versus the benefit. Can I give you a maybe?
