It take quite a while to move up as there are, as it was explained to me, only a certain amount of people at the different ranks. It took me over a year to move from a 5 to a 6 and even longer to get to a 7.
Makes sense. It would be nice to see the total points and hits though to see how we are doing. One of the things it says to help your rank is by completing successful sales but I don't sale comics, I collect them so hopefully that's not a must.   |

Comics for sale

I was wondering if there is a rule on posting comics for sell and not giving an actual grade to them. I would like to buy multiple comics at once from a seller not just one at a time but the seller has everything listed as the generic 9.4. Now they do have pictures of each but a picture of the front cover isn't going to show the buyer an estimated grade of the book since one it's only a picture of the front and two if the book is still in a bag you may not be able to tell spine ticks. It's not an issue if you are buying just one book and you ask the seller for more pictures and information but as an example I started looking at Spawns that I am missing from my collection and I found a seller with multiple Spawns that I need. It would make it a little easier if I knew at least an estimate on the grade of books. I mean what if I offer the 9.4 FMV and the book is an 8 for every copy the seller has posted? I don't know how to fix this but when buying multiple books it would be nice to know the estimated grade so the buyer could quick offer a bunch of books instead of one by one asking for more information and pictures. I don't know why a seller would post something for sale and not put the correct grade to begin with either. It would also be nice if we could view a seller's list and mass select a group of books and submit an offer that way as well. |

Did you read this part? There are only a certain number of each rank, so sometimes having a whole bunch of submissions isn't going to move you up in rank unless you have more points than the lowest member in the rank above you. I've actually moved down a rank one time after submitting a bunch of creators because the guy behind me submitted alot more than I did.  You just got to keep submitting.
That's why it would be nice to see the total points we all have so we could see how much it would take to move up and also that's crazy on the moving down a rank lol so over time if you no longer submitted data or not as fast as someone newer you can go back to the bottom rank? It's a duel to the top gentlemen, now I have to go and find an assistant just to log data for me HAHA hopefully they will except cheesy jokes for payment because in this comic market I have no spare $$$  |

The Expanse

Just wondering if anyone else here watches The Expanse on Amazon? I've been burning through episodes of it like a mad man here lately. It's one of the best sci-fi shows I have seen in a long time. And technically it can now fall into the comic book world because there is a comic series for it now too. I have the comics but I have not read them yet due to I don't want them to spoil anything on the show for me. |

And, do we get credit for submitting stuff that no one wants to verify, either? Or does the credit come only after validation?
I submitted a "bunch:" of info on House of Mystery issues from the Adams/Wrightson years. Some of it was validated, the story summaries are just sitting out there, so does that mean I don't get "Credit" until someone else reads the issues and agrees with my synopses? In that kind of situation, I'd be better off just submitting the writing, drawing, inking, colorist credits and skipping the story summaries. There are about 4 stories in each of those issues.
There's a lot of info out there for members to collect, but some of it is "Never" going to be collected because "We're" not tasked with both submissions and validations. We're all doing the submissions, most likely, but the validations are pretty important for the rewards system in place.

That's a good question too. I have stayed away from typing any synopses just because I didn't know if there is a specific format the site wants for them. Or do they want the direct generic message the publisher puts out prior to their release that shares the basic synopses. |

I haven't seen it but have been getting into Jupiter's Legacy.
If you like Sci-Fi I would recommend checking it out. I haven't started Jupiter's Legacy yet. The reviews I saw were not that great for Jupiter's Legacy but comic fans can be pretty savage when it comes to their reading material put on the screen so I plan to check it out as soon as I finish the Expanse. |

I don't expect a seller to get books graded to post I just think if they would at least place a grade on it as close as possible. But not trying to nail it down to a .2 of a difference either. I guess something like in the 9's or 4's but defiantly not having every single issue up for sell listed as a 9.4 that to me throws me off of buying a bulk lot. I don't want to have to ask for information for each book one at a time lol. Call me lazy. I don't sell comics but I'm guessing the site only let's the sellers only upload one image but it would be nice to have front and back like you said and make the seller place a rough grade on it that way no one can complain from either side.
Also since we're on the subject are we bidding on comics here or buying. I feel like I am bidding on a comic when I go to buy on here. The last offer I put in somehow on that exact same day another user placed a higher offer and the book was sold to them. I thought the price the seller had listed it for was the price it's for sale for but that's not really the case lol. |

I don't expect users to get booked graded and slabbed by CGC either. I was just riffing on an idea that a 3rd party opinion based on photos of the book in question could be made.
"Make Me an Offer" seems to me to be just a "starting point," so I would say you are bidding.
I would trust the seller's grades, I mean that's why there is a rating system for purchases. The problem is some sellers just throw up their items and all are the generic 9.4 grade. Other sellers I have noticed actually try and put up grades. I'm pretty sure it was KDS that I was looking at this morning and all of their comics have some actual type of grades to them. It would be nice if other sellers did it like KDS. I feel much more comfortable placing an offer with a seller that actually tries to tell you the grade. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to buy everything I want at once LOL. |

Batman: The Official Comic Adaptation Of The Warner Bros. Motion Picture #nn
The site has the hardcover with the date 2019 listed here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-the-1989-movie-adaptation/pksxip
The cover for that one is close but not the same.
But this one has the date of 1989 and the site has one for 1989 listed here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-the-official-comic-adaptation-of-the-warner-bros-motion-picture/riw
But that one is different cover. And the cover price is also different so I don't know if this qualifies as a variant but maybe it does. Same author and artists.
CGC lists it as:
Batman: Official Motion Picture Adaptation #nn
Issue Date: 1989
Publisher: D.C. Comics
Cover Price: 4.95
I have attached a picture as well.
If it's a variant let me know and I will add it the proper way. Thanks |

the 2019 one is the deluxe HARDCOVER edition, as noted on that page, and a google search says: "In time for the 30th anniversary of the blockbuster movie Batman, DC reprints the official comics adaptation in hardcover for the first time."
the other one is the original 1989 prestige format edition.

So the original prestige format is the one that I attached a picture of? If so it's either missing or I can't find it. |

Dig using a new grader?

Does anyone else here use dig for auctions? They normally always grade something dead on or under so if you order a 6 you can bet it's a 6 or better. Looking at tonight's auction I don't know if my eyes or off or if something has changed. This ASM is listed as F/VF with a back looking like this? Not used to that on Dig or maybe I'm wrong?

I think that one slipped on accident because like I said they are normally great on grading. I've never received anything from them and been disappointed just thought this one looked a little off tonight. Meanwhile I'm sitting here staring at the CLink auctions tonight as well telling myself not to spend anymore money tonight |
