That's an easy one. It was published by Marvel UK and our default search is the US. When you search select "all countries" and you'll see everything. (including Warheads)

Collectibleshop, I've changed the picture to the more suitable one.

Woodjom, he's right on all counts about this issue and the reprint.

How to Identify a minor Variant

Ronbatman

We try to add in descriptors to help people with variants. They are so prolific that it's difficult. Here are some things that we've done.

1. Store variants now have abbreviations tied to each number. Like this book
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/magic-order-the/1-PCCS/pkrwltt - Port City Comic Exclusive

2. When we add new variants we always put comments. Some of the old issues don't have this but all the new ones do. Like this book
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/magic-order-the/1-C2E2/pktumvx - C2E2 variant but with additional notes

3. Each new variant has the cover artist and other creators added to help differentiate books.

Basically, the entire site is an effort to help identify books. Sometimes there are things we need to add or things which our users need to add but we are getting there.

NYX 3: misprint or damaged?

To me, it looks like water damage. It's tough when it's a high dollar book like the one you have.

All are on the site and on the blog http://blog.comicspriceguide.com/2018/09/09/walmart-variant-issues-checklist/

Is it weird that I keep the blog updated with new Walmart issues? It drives me crazy to leave it incomplete.

Have you guys seen the Target issues? (new can of worms)

This is a weird one and I'm open to some discussion on it.

No number on the outside
A reprint of issue #13
The cover reprint of issue #15

So some has put this in as Batman #13F because the only difference is the cover. If the indicia says "DC comics Essentials #1" then I would say it needs to be its own title. Thoughts?

It's a quirky sometimes dark show. My son called it the "depressed X-men" after one episode. smile I agree with you very well done. We've got one or two episodes left.

There's a Marvel 3 pack, I need to open it when I get to the office this morning. And there's a 100 page DC Primal Age. Those are the only 2 I've confirmed thus far for Target

It's on the site as it's own title now. I cannot delete the 13F yet because 9 people own it on the site. I need to alert them first.

I've updated these dramatically to clarify things.

By the way, I deleted a link to one of our competitors. That sort of thing helps them in the search engine.

My best guess is that this is a book and not a comic book. If so, it won't be listed on the site. Been a minute since I've seen an Isis book.

I agree with you that it doesn't always make sense. We report the market and we don't drive the market. We've seen this sort of thing happen several times each year. A cover becomes "the" cover that everyone wants and the others get forgotten.

Are you talking about this issue?

You have to change the country on the search feature for Marvel UK. Have a good one

We recently made changes to every issue of Immortal Hulk. It's crazy popular right now and honestly a good story.

(ahem) another question on the value/prices @CPG

Ronbatman
Ronbatman

I don't know about the other sites but I can answer for CPG. If you look at the value change page you can see that we've made over 200 price adjustments recently. (That only includes raw, ungraded books.) We are working hard to follow the market and report on it. Plus we have fantastic premium and free members who are watching prices as well. When they see something is moving up or down they tell us. It's a huge group effort.

About selling, if you are a gold member you can sell all the books you have for just the membership fee. We have no listing fees, closing cost fees, etc. There are people who make their living by selling on our site. To me, it makes sense to sell here as well.
All the best,
R
