11/18/2020 Topic: All Star Adventure #47 cover scan submitted collectibleshop	The 'lag' is the normal time it can take depending on how many submissions they have to go thru. It can take WEEKS or a month or two. see admin Ronbatman's post at the end of this thread: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic13832-amazing-lady-death-asm--homage.aspx if you've submitted variant pics and info, you can see how to check them by reading the info in this post, maybe, as I'm not sure how you submitted the pics--as variants or not: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic15583-new-feature-related-to-variants.aspx edited by collectibleshop on 11/18/2020

11/20/2020 Topic: Blondie One-Shot? 1973 collectibleshop	found it finally: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/comics-reading-libraries/3/pbsuly Was 'hidden' under 'COMICS READING LIBRARIES', which I found under the King Features publisher's list. I don't know what the indicia says, but CPG should at least add King to the title so it can be found 'normally,' and add 'Library' to the search terms for them too. Most other sites seem to have it as comics.org does, as King Reading Library, but a few sites have them under Comics Reading Libraries too, but far fewer. So Ronbatman, your services are needed once again, thanks. edited by collectibleshop on 11/20/2020
11/20/2020 Topic: Missing - Icon Devil, Volume 2 collectibleshop	well, this will be fun for CPG to figure out, I don't have the time at the moment. according to the pics on comics.org, CPG's pic of #2 of the 1987 series is #2 of the 1989 series. #1 matches for the '87 series. weird.

11/23/2020 Topic: CGC Grading Video collectibleshop	CGC has put up another grading video, this time on restoration checking. As before, this is a very general overview, and it takes more 'tests' to determine other types of restoration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn4SYj7URWU
11/23/2020 Topic: CGC Restoration collectibleshop	CGC has a new youtube video on restoration checking now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn4SYj7URWU It's very general like their first one, since the book they used didn't have much resto. They use all kinds of other techniques to find the tougher types of resto (surprisingly no mention of using blacklights for finding color touch, but that's pretty standard procedure). I posted it in the Grading forum too.
11/29/2020 Topic: Which is the correct variant? Or are both correct? collectibleshop	it would be a HUGE help if you said what the comic was and both covers will be correct, going by others with sigs in various places. sometimes a store exclusive will have the sig in a different spot, or newsstand vs direct.

Oh, it is Wolverine #3. The CPG one is the same as Unknown Comics has on their site. I saw 1 like yours on e bay tho, so appears they somehow did two different sig placement versions. best to go to the source (Unknown Comics) and ask them.
11/30/2020 Topic: Value When Submitting to CGC collectibleshop	glorkar wrote: That doesn't really answer my question. There's fair market raw and fair market graded. The book I'm looking at is valued at $200 raw / $700 graded. The tiers are for the graded value. If you send in something grossly undervalued they will bump it up a tier if need be, and charge you the new tier price. It's also for insurance purposes, both for while it's in-house, and for return shipping. If your $200 raw book gets lost or damaged during return shipping and you had the value as $200 on the submission and they accepted that, then you'll only get $200 from a insurance claim, not the new graded value. While shipping damage to the actual BOOK is rare, it happens from vehicle or handling accidents, as does some getting lost, or stolen after delivery. Best to use the $700 value and pay the tier price is my advice. By the way, you can always ask CGC by phone or email, and look on their forums, there's tons of posts about this and other FAQs. edited by collectibleshop on 11/30/2020
12/1/2020 Topic: Value When Submitting to CGC collectibleshop	I my vast Highlander-age experience, it's most always better to go to the source for an answer (although Highlander: The Source movie inhaled large chicken embryos), if one still exists. That way you stand the best chance of getting a correct answer. Even long time members of the CGC forums will answer a question with old or wrong CGC info, and I always wonder why the poster just didn't call or email CGC instead. May not be faster, but more likely to be right, although they've told me wrong things too, or not updated everyone on some new policy or procedure. Did you find this page on their site? The link is buried on the fees page at the bottom. https://www.cgccomics.com/submit/declared-value-policy/ This part is important: "If CGC determines that a collectible is undervalued and does not qualify for the tier or services selected, it may adjust the tier and charge the appropriate difference in CCS services, grading and/or services fees based on its determination of the collectible’s current Fair Market Value. CGC will not, however, change the declared value originally assigned by the submitter. More: "It is therefore very important that the declared value listed by the submitter represent the collectible’s current fair market value (but they don't spell it out as 'graded value', but to me they should).....CGC reserves the right to use the declared value listed by the submitter on the CGC Submission Form as the current Fair Market Value, and in no event will CGC’s determination of current Fair Market Value exceed the declared value listed by the submitter on the CGC Submission Form. CGC’s determination of the current Fair Market Value will be absolute and binding on all parties." So while they may bump it up to another tier if they determine the market value is enough more than what the submitter says/guesses, the insured value during storage and shipping will remain the value the submitter stated, even if the book is worth well more after grading. They don't explicitly say the fair market value is the graded value that I see, but they say "the “current Fair Market Value” is the value of the collectible if it were to be sold, as determined by CGC in its sole reasonably exercised discretion." So I assume they mean value AFTER grading, for insurance purposes, to cover its potential full value. They don't get super picky about submitters being off a bit on the value guesses from what I've read, and may not bump something up a tier for being worth a little over the max value, cuz a .2 or .5 difference could make a big enough diff to do that, but the submitter doesn't really know what the grade will be for sure most times, so they can't be super sure of the graded value either. So you hope to be close, and that nothing bad happens to the books. So now I know where to find that info, so will bookmark it. edited by collectibleshop on 12/1/2020
12/1/2020 Topic: The Voyeurs collectibleshop	did some googling, and it appears there's only a hardcover version. GCD and mycomicshop only list a hardcover, as does the publisher's website and elsewhere. I submitted the author's name to the database, and submitted the cover price and publishing date. edited by collectibleshop on 12/1/2020
12/7/2020 Topic: Iron man #55 Mark Jeweler insert variant. collectibleshop	mikekillmeyer7 wrote: Since variants are all the rage as of late, i'm trying to see into the desirability of actual key comics of the Mark Jeweler variant. I have Iron Man 55 MJ. Any one have any experience with completion collectors and MJ variants? -Thanks The Mark Jeweler 'craze' is fairly new, and overblown in my opinion, but there's an apparently growing number of 'collectors' who pay more for these issues. why anyone cares about an advertisement is beyond me. They are NOT rare, but people keep pushing that. They were distributed on military bases and then got filtered out to the general public one way or another, but I've owned several just buying by mail order and at shows, back when no one cared and it was just luck to get one. The insert often made a line on the cover as it wasn't the same size as the comic pages, as you may have seen, so that tends to lower the grades a bit, even if otherwise NM, but some don't care, as it's kinda standard. You should find these threads on the CGC forum informative, but one of them was started in 2011 before this craze became something, so most opinions at that time were that the insert was not worth a premium. But it's a long thread and opinions might have changed some towards the end of it, I didn't check. This one has a decent size list of issues with the insert, on page 1, and I'm sure there's a list on the net somewhere.: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/215201-mark-jewelers-inserts/?tab=comments#comment-4721715 this one is from 2017 about the MJ inserts on DC comics, very informative article, a list, and various other info: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/410427-mark-jeweler-variants-in-dc-comics/?tab=comments#comment-9654690 This post notes that GPA, a site/service that tracks graded comics, has added separate listings for various inserts in 2019, so that says there's some kind of market for them, so they made it easier to track them. It cost money to join GPA and see prices fetched by the way. https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/446075-gpa-begins-separating-insert-books-mark-jewelers-national-diamond-tattooz-in-its-data-points/?tab=comments#comment-10545298 if you do a search for Mark Jeweler or Jewelers there, you find plenty more posts, some are sales posts. You'll find some collectors of them there you can PM or post to if you join. Lots of reading there for you. anudder tree-fiddy in the bank... edited by collectibleshop on 12/7/2020
12/7/2020 Topic: what can i expect for this comic? collectibleshop	is it this one? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/detective-comics/69/vhppj CPG guide say $225 for a 2.5, but hard to know for sure without knowing current sales data, if there has been any in that grade area in who knows how long. heard of google? 'that' auction site? do some net searches and see what turns up on dealer sites, other auction sites etc. You can upload a pic here too, or an attachment, and people can give their opinion of the grade, although pics don't show everything, so it's not great to grade by, but may help.
12/8/2020 Topic: AVATAR NIGHT VISION #0 (one-shot) collectibleshop	if they both only came as signed editions, then CPG won't add them. They don't list signed comics except for some Dynamic Forces.. edited by collectibleshop on 12/8/2020
12/8/2020 Topic: Question about Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer #1 collectibleshop	try googling it. a quick search on that auction site shows 1 of the Phoenix ones, and it says: "Comes in a sealed, exclusive, protective Phoenix Comicon mylar", and the pics show that. And it was signed and numbered out of 100, so looks like yours is not a Phoenix one. But CPG doesn't usually list signed editions, but they did for this one. And I just posted to someone else that CPG doesn't list signed editions except Dynamic Forces ones, so I think this is an exception. Yours appears to be the regular platinum Dealer Incentive edition, which CPG missed listing, so still a more limited edition. Too many variants to keep track of!

12/9/2020 Topic: Marvel Value Stamps and Spidey Stamps collectibleshop	this 2013 blog post should help, has pics too, although it doesn't list which stamps are in which issue for some reason: http://neatocoolville.blogspot.com/2013/05/clip-and-collect-spidey-stamps.html "... in issues #17 to #55. For whatever reason the last two issues of the series #56 and #57 didn't have stamps. The set has an error with the accidental omission of number twenty and two number nineteens. Also, The Cat, known as Hellcat in the regular Marvel Universe, gets two stamps with #23 and #37. Only one non-super hero/villain is part of the set and that's Aunt May #24." mycomicshop lists what stamps are in what issues tho: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=221261 the tree-fiddy just keeps rollin' in... edited by collectibleshop on 12/9/2020
