2/16/2025 Topic: Joe Problem Michael	I had a couple different variants for Image Comics 2024 G.I. Joe and they were not showing on the same page. It looks like there are two entries for this series. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/gi-joe/piqukq and https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/gi-joe/piqukp I think the problem is with the spelling. One shows as "G.I. Joe." The other shows as "Gi Joe."
2/19/2025 Topic: 1st Reprint? Michael	I noticed the indicia on TMNT #1 Vol.6 (Battle Damage Krang cover) said "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #1 REPRINT. MAY 2024. FIRST PRINTING." I am a little confused to it saying "reprint' and "first printing." Does this mean it's the first reprint? Can anyone elaborate?
2/19/2025 Topic: 1st Reprint? Michael	Kind of like "Transformers" #80 in a 4 issue limited series.
2/25/2025 Topic: Legit? Michael	I just want to double check with the community to make sure my GI Joe #1, Nov2024, Kirkham cover is legit. I only question it as the premium cover is a wrap over of the "A" cover. The premium cover is card stock with white insides, no markings. Back is standard showing the different covers you can get, UPC, and different shop logos. Inside is the "A" cover and its back, with all the standard markings, indicia on inside this cover, and a different UPC on the "A" back. Also leagueofcomicgeeks.com states this is a $19.99 comic, but mine does not show a price other than the $4.99. Anyone else own or seen this edition that can verify? Thanks
3/1/2025 Topic: Legit? Michael	I did send an email. Here is the reply.
3/1/2025 Topic: Legit? Michael	After numerous attempts to copy paste email, I believe I still failed. I dont think last post is readable but Gotham City replied that my comic was "super legit" and that Image produced them over the "A" cover. It should have their logo on back. Price not on comic due to it being exclusive to their shop and that they set they price. They also said "thanks for the support" and "YO JOE."
3/1/2025 Topic: Legit? Michael	Thanks. I tried copy/pasting email but didnt work, got an error msg from page. This was the result of trial and error, I kind of mash buttons till I get a result. I wanted to copy instead of restate what email said so I wouldnt mis-word anything.
3/7/2025 Topic: Value or Price Gouging Michael	Recently I noticed the cover for TMNT #48 C Vol 6, cover by Ryan Browne. and wanted it for my collection. I originally bought an issue from eb@y for $8 and $7 shipping. I never received it so I went back on eb@y and found limited choices. The cheapest I saw was for $8.99 plus $7 shipping, but that issue looks like it has a rough corner and a spine crack so I passed. The next was $14.99 and after that a couple at $25. I ended up buying one from @mazon for $15 and free shipping. I did a fair amount of searching; no CPG members has this listed for sale, g00gle lens almost nothing, and a general web search just showed me @mazon and eb@y. What does the community think? Is this a valued comic, expected pricing, or price gouging? Given the adage that "something is worth what someone will pay" I m not sure what to think. Sellers need to make money so they will charge more than value, but in turn does that not raise the value? Are sellers price gouging for hard to find issues, but this also would raise value correct? I did put in a "suggested value" because of what I saw in prices and availability but I m curious to what CPG users think about this comic specifically and/or pricing in general.
3/8/2025 Topic: Scene Fix Michael	Good day- I noticed a few probs w/ "Image Scene." The biggest is that there are two listings; https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/image-scene/piqvmx and https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/image-scene-catalog-2025/piquks Combining these may fix some other discrepancies such as the price differences on each and different months for issue #2. I also noticed issue #4 is not on either so I am including image on this post. Thanks
3/8/2025 Topic: Defiant1's Stuff Michael	Interesting to see old characters still in play and how some have changed. After I read Groot's origins it made it difficult to see him in his modern portrayals.
3/8/2025 Topic: SilverHawks Name Michael	There may be slight errors w/ "SilverHawks" both modern and 1987. Both old and new have indicias that state "SILVERHAWKS," one word and all capitals. The CPG 1987 listing has it as two words. May be some confusion, even on part of the comic's writers since both also have "SilverHawks" written. "S" and "H" capitalized as if it should be two words. It has it this way on the inside cover of modern and first page of 1987. Error to be fixed or am I missing something? Thanks
3/8/2025 Topic: Leirix SilverHawks Cover Michael	I was going to post the attached cover for "SilverHawks" but want to make sure it's correct. CPG has a cover listed for "Silverhawks" Jan 2025 as "RI-I" Lesley Leirix Li, Virgin variant, 1:25. I have this issue and the back cover states "cover Z" above the UPC. League o comic geeks has this same cover as "Z". I believe "RI-I" and "Z" are same as both are same artist and, virgin, and 1:25 ratios. With so many covers per issue tho there is a chance same artist did 2 covers at same ratio. I doubt this but thought to check first as if there are 2, I can make a missing variant request. Thanks
3/9/2025 Topic: Violated Title Michael	Good day- Small fix; "Spawn Violator" 2024 should just be "Violator" per indicia. Thanks https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/spawn-violator/phxvbp
3/11/2025 Topic: SilverHawks Name Michael	I m impartial to the spelling. I get tired of unsealing comics when sorting to see if indicia shows what the cover title seems to be. I guess thats art, tho, and the covers would be kinda "blah" or uptight if they were more formal. Hopefully CPG will change one tho so both old and new titles appear together.
3/11/2025 Topic: Not A Virgin Michael	Good day- I noticed that the pic for cover ILLUM-E for "Edge Of The Spider-Verse" #1 May 2023 is not a virgin cover. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/edge-of-spider-verse/1-ILLUM-E/piryjqw The cover shown is an unlisted variant. There might also be a bit more of a mix up between the two as the back of my issue (true virgin cover) lists; Unknown Comic Bks, The 616, Comic traders, and Antihero Gallery. Frankies and Street Level is not mentioned on my variant but they are listed in the above link. The League o geeks also does not list Frankies and Street Level. So, though the listing states "virgin" is it for the non-virgin Peach Momoko cover? Are the prices similar? Lmk if I should create missing variant.
3/14/2025 Topic: Dark Spaces Michael	I noticed the pic for "Dark Spaces: Trick Or Read" is slightly different than mine. Indicia on mine has Oct 2023 and first printing. Is the CPG pic the general release pic or are there variants? I ll post pic of mine, lmk if I should add as a varaint or improve my pic for listing. Thanks
3/14/2025 Topic: Dual Crisis Michael	I noticed two listings for "Assorted Crisis Events." https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/assorted-crisis-events/pipsns and https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/assorted-crisis-events/pipsnr
3/23/2025 Topic: Longest Comic Run in Your Collection Michael	I have no where near most of these runs. The largest quantity I have is prob "Spawn" but I proudly own the full run of "Transformers" Vol 1, 1-80 with all "Headmaster," "Universe," "Movie adapt'" and "Vs G.I. Joe."
3/24/2025 Topic: Price Change Note Michael	If we recommend a price change, do we get notified if its accepted or declined? Thanks
3/25/2025 Topic: Not A Virgin 2 Michael	In the description for X-Men: Blood Hunt - Magik #1 https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men-blood-hunt---magik/1-616CX/piwtoqx it states "virgin" cover for the Leirix Li variant - limited to 3000. It is "not a virgin." There is a separate entry for the virgin cover.
