3/7/2020 Topic: Low Low Woods #3 creator collectibleshop	I got the same 'he's in the queue' message for Jeremy, so is that the message you get, or does it actually say 'already listed'? Contact ronbatman and ask him what's up.
3/8/2020 Topic: Mighty Marvel Superheroes Fun Book collectibleshop	Defiant1 wrote: Some books like this do have comic art in them. You can't always make assumptions. This book has some very early New X-Men comic book art introducing an X-Men puzzle. It came out shortly after X-Men #94. This is a coloring book, but it's filled with story art. No one said anything about whether these types books have comic ART, as they all do. That's not the criteria in question, otherwise there'd be thousands more listed. They have no STORIES is the problem (one or 2 pages of an actual previously released comic book story to color is not enough story to qualify), hence they're not comic books CPG would or should list. While CPG does list a couple from a while ago, the Marvel one, according to the cover blurb, may have a simple story to go with the maze puzzle, so that may be why it's listed. It may also be that after that was listed CPG changed their minds about coloring books. I don't see the Bucky O'Hare one in the CPG guide. edited by collectibleshop on 3/8/2020 edited by collectibleshop on 3/8/2020

I tried multiple searches on here, including publishers, and didn't find it, so I usually assume if something that old of a major 'name' isn't listed by now, there's a reason. Pocket Books that are here are usually actual graphic novels or reprints of comic strips, so those are listed, but I wouldn't fully call this book a comic book myself.
3/10/2020 Topic: Mighty Marvel Superheroes Fun Book collectibleshop	Defiant1 wrote: What is your definition of a story? Are collections of Bloom County cartoons a story? It's technically a lot of stories. The Marvel Mazes book has single page "stories" introducing some puzzle. They aren't generic "comic art". They are story pages unique to this specific book. They have panels and dialogue with word balloons. I think it's highly significant given the time frame of when it was published. I don't care what the guide lists. I just think it's ridiculous to exclude things that are comic related when collectors tend to care about the stuff. The Bucky O'Hare Coloring Book is a full blown story that you can color. The Bucky O'Hare Coloring book was sold through Neal Adams' site. It was probably never solicited through Previews. My point was that you can't make assumptions. Your original 'point', "Some books like this do have comic art in them. You can't always make assumptions", was based on the ART, not all the content, and of course those type of books have comic art, so that point was moot. I made an 'assumption' based on the INTERIOR pics on the auction of the Super Powers book, as I don't own the book to look thru the entire thing, and I felt there were enough pics to base my OPINION on, that it would not qualify as a comic book. I stand by that, as does CPG's standards. The Marvel Mazes book IS listed in CPG as it qualifies, and I said so. Bloom County TPBs and many other comic strip ones are listed too, and I don't really agree with that but don't care that much, but they do have continuing (short) stories as well as a continuing 'long' storyline. Other than actual comic book characters like Spider-Man, The Phantom, Peanuts etc., most comic strips are not based on comic book characters or have comic books made about them, yet they're listed here. Seems to me the Bucky O'Hare book should be too, since as you say, it has a full comic story you can color. Easy for CPG to miss something that was only sold thru Adams' site. Perhaps the Superman one would too, if you provided more pics to show it has 'comics' with stories and not just 1 panel splash pages, but the cover blurb suggests it has stories, so maybe CPG will add it if given more info. Will leave that up to Ron. The tiny amount of people who collect coloring books isn't worth the time it would take to add all of them that DON'T have stories, nor is the 'value' of them. CPG can't list everything, and their criteria that it has to be 50% comic book that tells a story seems reasonable to me. MOST coloring/puzzle/game books wouldn't qualify. I'm out now. edited by collectibleshop on 3/10/2020
3/11/2020 Topic: New Printings/variants collectibleshop	I know you're waiting for an admin to reply (you could email ronbatman directly or message him), but my guess is that CPG won't add another printing listing until it's been released, and I'd also wait for them to add it themselves. If those books have been solicited in Previews, then likely CPG would add them shortly after they've been sent to the shops. And 3rd printings are not 'variants' to submit, they're just later printings, even if they have different covers. At least I think that's CPG's stance on later printings.
3/12/2020 Topic: MISSING TITLE: Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer collectibleshop	It's under the UK country choice: https://comicspriceguide.com/publishers/hard-case-crime the publisher is not Dark Horse, going by the cover, it's Hard Case Crime via Titan. Titan as you know, is a UK publisher. The story name is not part of the title. CPG added info below the 'no search results' blurb to help find things, and the very first tip is : "No results? Try these tips: Are you looking at the right country? Try changing the search to "All Countries". Your search may have been published outside the USA." That only shows if you get no results tho, so if you got the US Mike Hammers in results, you wouldn't see that blurb. Also use fewer keywords so story titles aren't included. The TPB is under the Trade Paper Back tab. edited by collectibleshop on 3/12/2020 edited by collectibleshop on 3/12/2020
3/12/2020 Topic: Peter Parker/Spider-Man & Mary Jane Watson Wed? collectibleshop	you can try searching on comics.org, as you can mark 'story' as part of the search (like 'peter parker marries' or 'peter parker marriage' etc), then paw thru the results to see if any have covers that deal with that. also, google images search for peter parker marries or marriage covers. edited by collectibleshop on 3/13/2020
3/12/2020 Topic: Rick and Morty vs Dungeons&Dragons 1 - ReCover collectibleshop	it's much more helpful to post a link to their site, or at least a pic. saves people time having to do searches. But, it's faster if you submit it yourself, any member can do it. save the pic to your computer/phone first. then go to the CPG guide page that corresponds to that comic, click on the Variants tab, click on the red 'Report Missing Variant' button in lower right after the other covers, and fill in the info boxes as best you can, and upload the pic from your computer/phone, and they'll get to it when they get to it. edited by collectibleshop on 3/12/2020
3/14/2020 Topic: Famous Monsters of FIlmland - Issues 72-79 collectibleshop	you need to do some historical research first. You don't really think CPG would be missing those issues after decades, do you? There ARE no issues of 72-79, they stopped it and went with Monster World for 10 issues, then back to FM. From the wikipedia article, which may not be 100% correct on all things: "Warren and Ackerman created a jump in issue numbering from issue 69 (me here--this looks to be wrong tho, as mycomicshop has #70 with a pic and date of 1970), which was printed in September 1970, to issue 80 in October 1970. They did this (according to the editorial in issue 80) because it brought them closer to issue 100, justifying the numerical jump because of the publishing of ten issues of the short-lived companion magazine Monster World as issues that "would have been" Famous Monsters issue.....Famous Monsters of Filmland was resurrected in 1993....Starting at issue #200....In late 2007, Philip Kim...purchased the rights to the logo and title, entering into an agreement with Ackerman to use his trademarks to retain the magazine’s original look and feel....The revival of the classic horror magazine came in July 2010, with the publication of Famous Monsters of Filmland #251.." Issue #71 was done in 2011 and apparently was the only issue they tried using the old numbering with, cover price is 8.99, and that makes it modern age, so CPG is correct. mycomicshop lists it the same way. This is another series that CPG needs to put a notation on #71 and #80. The more you knoooooowwwww. edited by collectibleshop on 3/15/2020
3/15/2020 Topic: DC Nation #6? collectibleshop	DC NATION is a promotional mag, not a comic, so they won't be listed. DC Nation #0 is listed with a bunch of variant covers, as it had '3 all new stories'. You can submit the Big Planet Comics Variant yourself you know. DC Previews is also not a comic, just an order book, so you can delete those posts too. And in the future, please don't make separate posts for single issues of the same thing, thanks.
3/15/2020 Topic: X-MEN/ALPHA FLIGHT 1998 / 1985 collectibleshop	I can verify this between comics.org and mycomicshop too. The 1998 #1 and 2 is a new story, not a reprint.
3/15/2020 Topic: DC Nation #6? collectibleshop	sometimes variant submissions get lost amongst the deluge. Didn't know you had submitted it that long ago, but always good to mention you have in the 1st post so the admins may be able to find it. There's no hard rule about making single posts or not for each issue, it's more of a standard etiquette and common sense thing. Why make anyone open multiple posts when 1 or 2 would do? And I assume you searched for those 2 titles, but only posted about specific numbers, so didn't you notice there were NONE listed (except for DC Nation #0), not just those numbers? Seems to happen a lot with non-qualifying or very esoteric books, so I just wonder if people are just searching for specific numbers and not noticing there are no results for the whole title. And just so you and everyone who may read this is clear, I'm not one of the volunteer admins, and don't wish to be. I've just been here for a long time and know most of the rules and how-to's and reasoning that CPG uses, and am still learning more all the time. I just help out on the forums when I have time or am bored , to save the admins some time and help educate folks a bit. edited by collectibleshop on 3/15/2020
3/15/2020 Topic: Rowans Ruin #1(Jackpot Variant) collectibleshop	Please always post a link to a pic, or an attachment, it saves everyone a lot of time. It's faster if you submit it yourself.

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, click that, then click the appropriate tabs to see those issues.

I would think all the Fireside books would be here. explains why some of the magazines I've looked for, are never found on here. having magazines like Comic Book Artist is here, but not having Comicology books baffles me when other websites includes it all. edited by JayC13 on 3/18/2020 Annnd I'm back in for a sec on this. This site is a PRICE GUIDE for real comic books, not just a database like most of the sites I think you're referring to, and they've stated the guidelines for what they consider a COMIC BOOK. No one said the Fireside book was a coloring book. Nor is it a periodical, since those things don't come out on any schedule. But it's NOT a comic book with stories, so doesn't qualify to be listed here. The Fireside books that have actual comic stories or are reprints of them are here. I noted the Bucky O'Hare one could/should be listed if it has an actual story as Defiant says, and the Marvel Mazes one apparently does, so they qualify. A book with just games, puzzles etc doesn't, regardless of the art. That's life in the price guide world, you can't please everyone. I doubt Overstreet lists that Fireside book either. edited by collectibleshop on 3/18/2020
3/21/2020 Topic: Grimm Fairy Tales Presents Robyn Hood: Legend #5 collectibleshop	please, just do one post for the same title. and it's faster if you submit it yourself. save a GOOD cropped-to-the-edges pic (with no watermark from another site) to your computer/phone first. then go to the title's listing for that issue, click on the Variants tab, click on the red 'Report Missing Variant' button in lower right after the other covers, and fill in the info boxes as best you can, and upload the pic from your computer/phone, and they'll get to it when they get to it. edited by collectibleshop on 3/21/2020
3/21/2020 Topic: Incredible Science Fiction #33 - Correction collectibleshop	seems you're right, judging by multiple other databases including EC Fandom. At the bottom of the CPG Details page of the stories it has Orlando as just the artist, but at the top he's lumped in with Writer, so needs changing there.
3/21/2020 Topic: X-Men: The Movie 2000 \| One-Shot \| collectibleshop	issue #1C X-Men Movie Special Prequel Edition from Toys R is also listed as a variant, it`s named "X-Men Movie Special Premiere Prequel Edition" in the indicia but in fact it`s a variant of X-MEN: THE MOVIE - WOLVERINE. Don't think so, but I don't own them to check the indicias. It looks to be just a variant COVER of the other or another TRU edition, not the same as the other ones listed under "X-Men the Movie-Wolverine', which has his NAME on the cover too, and likely on the inside indicia title, so those are different books. However, since they're all X-Men the Movie, it would be simpler to list them all under that title and cross reference the search engine for the Wolverine ones too, but up to CPG. 1B is where it belongs, as 1C is, as they're SPECIALS, so they go under the Specials tab. doesn't matter if they're 3 different books, they're all editions of the same movie title. edited by collectibleshop on 3/21/2020
3/21/2020 Topic: Blonde Phantom #19, Canadian Edition collectibleshop	comics.org lists 8 issues, which they note are just Canadian reprints of American issues: https://www.comics.org/searchNew/?q=%22Blonde+Phantom%22&selected_facets=facet_model_name_exact:issue&selected_facets=publisher_exact:Bell%20Features don't know if that's all they did, but you'd think after all this time if there were any more they'd have found them or been told.
