The HC also has its own entry.

yeah, I know. I had written that in my 1st response and then deleted it because it was obvious you had already seen the separate HC listing, but your question was why wasn't it with the regular series, and it is, so not sure what the problem is? It's findable by 2 ways of searching, whether you use just Dark Knight III and know enough to click the hardcover tab, or Batman DK Master Race which comes up by itself as the hardcover. I presume they have it listed both ways because the titles are DIFFERENT--one says Batman on it, other one doesn't, so thanks DC for not being consistent. At least CPG covered the bases with it.

We need more information on this book to put it in the system. Can you open the book up and look at the indicia? What is the title? Who is the publisher? Malibu?
Thanks

The publisher is Personality, title is 'The Next Crew' as the OP's pic shows, but neither comics.org or mycomicshop have it listed by that title or under all their Personality comics listings (they do have The Original Crew, but nothing with Next Crew), and I got tired of looking for more info on this, so that's all I can tell you, so OP needs to return and answer your questions. There's a couple on ebay, so it exists, but no usable info there, and wrong info too.

can't do it either, so not just you. and about 50% of the time when it does work, at least for me, it can't find the member despite correct spelling, yet they will be listed in the alphabetical listings, spelled exactly the same. annoying to have to scroll and click multiple pages to find people that way.

Journey Into Mystery #58 - Prototype cover?

collectibleshop
collectibleshop
after 60 years with no guide calling it a prototype cover, I doubt anyone thinks it is. You can find tons of earlier covers that are very similar to later ones, that are not 'homage' covers, so not uncommon. I think 'prototype' covers would only be used in pre-production, and who knows if Marvel even had FF on the drawing board when JIM 58 came out. You'd have to Ouija board Jack Kirby and ask him if the FF cover was inspired by the JIM cover to know for sure.

Curiosity on Grading

collectibleshop
collectibleshop
wrong forum for this, this is for issues/problems with the site. there's a grading forum for these questions:
https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/forum12-comic-grading-tips-and-tricks.aspx

bindered comics can sell, but generally at very low prices. Iron Man #1 is not scarce or very expensive compared to better key issues, plus with the other defects I doubt it's worth much of anything. Sometimes I've seen runs of silver age books in binders with holes punched sell, but even if they're Spider-Man #1-up they go for way less than most low grade issues would, even if otherwise they're in nicer shape. Holes kill the values. Poor to Fair would probably be about it, as those grades allow various holes and pieces missing.

CPG has a grading guide here: https://comicspriceguide.com/comic-book-grading
note that Fair and Poor descriptions are going to read a lot worse for wear than your copy, but again, it's the holes that kill it.

Correct spelling helps. It's WOMEN, not Woman, and that's even in your links, but a few ebay sellers have it wrong too. It's right there on the cover. It's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/spider-women-alpha/xipvh

CPG doesn't do prices for signed comics, too much variance. Use google to find others for sale, and check that auction site for sold prices and decide what it may be worth, but you may find big differences.

No selling posts/links allowed in 'discussion' forums, just the Comic Auction forum, so you can edit off the ebay sentence and leave the rest, and post your ebay sales link in the Comic Auction forum. Same with your reply in another thread that you post your ebay link in. Thanks.

Punisher #1s

They both work correctly for me, so need more info about what you're clicking on. When I go to either #1 issue (of the 1986 mini-series or 1987 regular series), then click the issue number icon to the right for the next issue, it goes to the correct issue, not to the other series. Same with the full results listings, the issues numbers go to the correct issue.

Mini-series #1 is at https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/punisher-the/1/pjqw . When I click on the blue 'issue #2' button, it goes to the correct issue, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/punisher-the/2/vitv .

Same with the regular series. Maybe there was a tech glitch when you tried it, but seems ok now.

And for future problems, post them on either the Issues forum (which deals with tech issues on the site), or on the Database and Missing Issues forum, as that deals with database problems too.

Amazing Spider-man Volume 1 Edits

collectibleshop

Your post belongs in the other Database forum, as this one is for COMPLETED database problems.
As I haven't collected comics for quite a while, I researched the two C2E2 issues, and I think both CPG and you are wrong, partially.

According to the stories, those reprint the original Vol. 1 Amazing Spideys #9 and 14, but the actual 2014/15 volume 3 #9 is a 'Spider-Verse Begins!' story, with multiple variant covers, and a different one by Skottie Young that has the same Spider-Verse story. Neither mycomicshop or comics.org lists the C2E2s under the 2014 Vol 3 series, and mycomicshop notes it as a Vol 1 series reprint issue. So I think CPG should remove the Vol 3 listing of them, since they're not one of that series' #9s & 14s, and they should just be under the Vol 1 series since that's what they reprint, regardless that they were printed in 2014 as part of the Stan Lee Collectibles series. And Stan had nothing to do with the regular 2014 series. I think there was some confusion about them as there were other Skottie Young variant covers for the 2014 series.

UNLESS the indicia says they're part of Vol 3 that is, so if you own them check inside to see what they call them. I'd think it's just part of a separate series of Stan Lee classics. Plus, the Vol 3 #9 C2E2 listing says 'First App. of Solus', which was in the 'regular' #9, UNLESS it IS another regular #9 variant AND reprints the original Spider-Man #9 too, which I doubt, as that would make it double size and would be noted as having 2 stories. The Vol 1 listing has it described correctly, which makes me wonder who listed the Vol 3 one.

As for 'the guide is only for United States variants,' I don't know where you got that, but not true. In fact, CPG is making more of an effort to list other country's variants, but has long listed UK and Canadian ones. Nothing wrong with showing Australian variants, just scroll past them if you're not interested, but CPG has worldwide membership, so they're trying to be more inclusive to that.

So maybe Ronbatman can come fix things or explain why the C2E2 issues are listed with Vol 3, unless just for convenience for people, but the 'details' are wrong, and they're not part of that series story line.

Looking to sell the whole lot of comics listed

collectibleshop

not the right forum for this, you'd get more replies in General. This forum is for listing actual auction notices or comics for sale NOW.
You can find buyers on this site, but it's not very quick to look up each issue and find the 'Wanted' button and contact people who hardly ever reply. You can post a free classified ad on CPG once you've figured out what you want for them. https://comicspriceguide.com/classifieds .
google searches for 'buy/buying comic book collections' etc should turn up multiple dealers, just do your due diligence on them before you commit. Craigslist has free local ads so you might find a local buyer with cash and not have to fool with shipping. Many other places to advertise if you do some searches, and about a billion 'how to sell your comics' articles and opinion sites/blogs etc that will contradict each other, as usual.. The guide value will be way over what you can get for a bulk sale unless you have OLD or really hot key books in there, so be prepared to take a bath on what you can actually get vs guide price. try to grade them as best you can too.

others can suggest more options, don't have time right now.

Can't find X-Men King-size specials on CPG

Annuals, Specials, hardcovers, trade paperbacks for regular series are usually not listed separately, but sometimes are, so mostly they're under the regular series name. So go to the Vol 1 X-Men from 1963 and click on the Annual and Special tabs to find those issues.

books like that aren't listed because they aren't comic books with stories. Otherwise there'd be thousands more of those coloring/puzzle books to list.
