Sometimes less is more. If you just enter "models" in the title search box, it's the first result.

Signatures

I'm guessing the person that signed the books had something to do with them (writer, artist, etc...).
Might be easiest just to do a web search for each of the creators to see what their signatures look like, then match it up to what's on your book.
Like I said on your other post with the same question, if you phrase it as "comics paul jenkins signature" (but with a different creator name each time) you should be able to work out who it is.

Always fun finding autographed comics. Even better when it's one that you're already collecting!

Metamorpho The Element Man #5 Double Cover?

I had come across that a while back. I don't often buy variant covers. Turns out it's just a thing they do. Cheaper on production costs I guess, since they can print all the books at once, then divert however many to have the extra cover slapped on. If you check out any DC variant covers on any title, they'll all be like that.

Firsts Reprints

I don't know, it makes sense to me. All it's saying is that the reprint was made in that specific year. Helps when there are multiple reprints. So for instance, that Super Dinosaur you mentioned, it would be easer to find the exact version if you look at the year it was reprinted.

Just chiming in on the media mail thing. They don't have to be educational materials per se. But they aren't supposed to have any advertising. So oddly enough, trade paperbacks are technically allowed, since most of them don't have ads.

Not sure that image is right @collectibleshop. Yours has silver/white text. All the photos I'm seeing online have the red foil text.

I've never seen one of these poster magazines in person. Is it literally one big poster that unfolds? Like, there are no actual pages?

No Price on Comic reporting

As far as I know, it's never been retail price, just cover, or if no cover price listed 0.00 like you've been doing.
Just curious, do you have an example of one of the newer exclusives that doesn't have a price?
Not an admin, so I don't have a real answer for you, just curious to see what you mean.

Discrepencies in Volumes

glorkar
glorkar
I've always found the volume numbers here to be a bit odd too. There's certain titles that I just do my own numbering on, tbh. I'm sure it has something to do with both the title and publisher. TMNT seems to be a bit all over the place though.
In your specific example, it really doesn't make sense, especially because TMNT from IDW 2011-2024 is listed as Vol 6. So yeah, 2024-current really should be Vol 7.

But I guess we'll see what an admin says.

Any thoughts about putting a link on the pages of the separated books to the series they are associated with?

Something similar to the links with the little fingers on books that change titles (like X-men (1963-1981) to Uncanny X-Men (1981-2011)).
Not sure you can have multiple links like that though.

Are Qualified CGC graded books valued the same boo

Value can be subjective.
If your two example books were both for sale at the same price, most people would go for the complete version.
Even though the qualified book is the same grade, it isn't as desirable since there's something wrong with it.

Just my opinion of course.

Comic Book Bags

7.5" would be for Golden Age comics. They'll work with comics from the late 30s to mid 50s. With the bags to match of course.
I've also used them for smaller magazines (like Wizard).

When you submit missing creator names on books and they are approved they show up there.
Near misses are when what you submitted was rejected.

You'll see this from time to time. I think a lot of it has to do with sales. There's simply more sales of raw issues so the price fluctuates a bit more.
I could be wrong on this though, so you'll have to wait for others to join in too.
