3/29/2020 Topic: Nick Fury, Agent of Shield #1 Volume Correction Ronbatman Administrator	Yes, I believe you are correct David. Because of that, I needed to move volume 2 down to volume 3 as well The new Nick Fury, Agent of Shield lineup Volume 1 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/nick-fury-agent-of-shield/rkrt Volume 2 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/nick-fury-agent-of-shield/rkrr Volume 3 - https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/nick-fury-agent-of-shield/rkrw Ron
3/30/2020 Topic: Sensational Spider-Man #5 Incorrect UPC Code Ronbatman Administrator	I fixed that UPC code and checked the rest of them in the series. They are all correct now. Feel free to scan away. R
3/30/2020 Topic: Sensational Spider-Man #5 Incorrect UPC Code Ronbatman Administrator	Thanks for catching that Marciano. The newsstand issue has been added with the correct UPC.
4/1/2020 Topic: Wolverine Volume 7 Ronbatman Administrator	Currently, we have 800+ variants that need to be researched, priced and approved or denied. Yesterday, I asked several of our admins to help with the approval process for variants. 53 were taken off the list yesterday and last night. That is an amazing number for one day so our admins came through big time. Hopefully, some of them were your submissions. Unless we raise our membership cost to offset hiring someone specifically for variants, you just have to be patient. No one in the field does what we do. Some sites look at important comic issues, some do graded books, but no one has even half of the books we have. Some of the closest ones to our 1,080,000 comic books have stolen our data via site scrappers. (before we changed the site) The reason is because it's really difficult.
4/2/2020 Topic: Spectacular Spider-Man #223 - Incorrect Date Ronbatman Administrator	Fixed now.
4/2/2020 Topic: Todd McFarlane's SPIDER-MAN series circa 1990 Ronbatman Administrator	You mean this series? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/spider-man/ritq
4/2/2020 Topic: Forums Ronbatman Administrator	Yeah, I've noticed that too. I'll talk with our programmer about it and see if anything can be done. R
4/2/2020 Topic: Guidelines for Uploading Cover Scans to CPG Ronbatman Administrator	You can submit an image using a .jpg or a .png. Please don't use a pdf. R
4/6/2020 Topic: Collection Report Idea Ronbatman Administrator	That's an interesting idea. There are quite a few members who try to grade their books as they enter them. The easiest and fastest way is to use the default 9.4 but some try to be more accurate.
4/6/2020 Topic: Wolverine Volume 7 Ronbatman Administrator	I'm super proud of our admins and the work they've done related to variants over the past 8 days. They cut the number from 800+ to 400. That's a ton of work on their part, researching and properly labeling books. Are you seeing some of your books approved Rhudman? R
4/10/2020 Topic: Hardcovers, softcovers is there grading? Ronbatman Administrator	It's fixed now. Thanks for finding that Ron
4/12/2020 Topic: Wolverine as an example of Newsstand vs. Direct Ronbatman Administrator	Today while I was listing some of my extra comics for sale I noticed that we didn't have all the newsstand and direct issues in the system. We only had the direct issues although the scans jump back and forth. Anyway, I'd like to use this as an example of what we are doing throughout the system. 1. We are still adding newsstand and direct issues. 2. We are organizing them by ages. So modern age books have the direct issues listed first. Copper and Bronze issue have newsstand issues listed first. In essence we are listing the most common issue as the "A" issue and the other as the "B". In some cases this divides a title like Wolverine. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/wolverine/rlqw Issues 1-49 are in the Copper Age so the Newsstand is first, Direct is "B" Issues 50-189 are in the Modern Age so the Direct is first, Newsstand is "B" I know this might be confusing but we are trying to be consistent as we add these issue throughout the system. Secondly, If you own the "B" issue of any Wolverine book can you please submit the scan? It would save me a ton of time. Currently I just have the first 40 done but I'll be adding more tomorrow. Let me know if you have questions. Ron edited by ronbatman on 4/14/2020
4/13/2020 Topic: Beavis and Butthead issues Ronbatman Administrator	Ok, so this is what I've fixed https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/beavis-butt-head/snrq 1. Added search terms to the correct listing so that you can find it easier. 2. Moved all collections from the wrong listing into the correct one 3. Deleted the wrong issues 4. Added UPC codes to all, dates, some creators (if they were listed in the wrong title) If someone would like to submit missing issues for the tpb's I will add them as well. Ron
4/14/2020 Topic: Comics Price Guid App Ronbatman Administrator	The app is only available on the Apple or Android store. The issue is that different countries have different rules for the app and different approvals. I wish it was easier since we are a global site. Ron
4/14/2020 Topic: X-Men: The Asgardian Wars TPB - real cover price Ronbatman Administrator	Thank you, I've fixed that. Ron
4/14/2020 Topic: Missing Suicide Squad #1 - Canadian version - 1987 Ronbatman Administrator	It's in the system now.
4/14/2020 Topic: Deadpool Poster Book Ronbatman Administrator	Sounds interesting. If it's a book of posters it would not qualify to be added to the site. Our requirements are that a book has to have at least 50% comic book story. Did you pick up the key book for Deadpool, New Mutants #98?
4/14/2020 Topic: George Perez signing event, make a list? Ronbatman Administrator	Perez is one of the greats, no doubt. Typically, when I think about George Perez, two mini-series come to mind, Infinity Gauntlet and Infinite Crisis. Those sets of covers are iconic. There were usually so many characters on the page. I do love his Wonder Woman covers as well. And then there's the Teen Titan covers. This could keep going on... R
4/14/2020 Topic: Comic Milestones that go uncollected? Ronbatman Administrator	Your question is an interesting one. From what I've seen some people chase the new hot thing. Someone with influence brings a book to the comic communities attention and we go buy it. In some cases there is no data backing up the "hot" title. When that happens the hype dies quickly and the price drops. But when a movie or show is announced, that always brings interest and usually higher prices. Those situations lead to bumps in prices that usually stay higher. What you're talking about is more subtle. A shift in the way DC looked at comics and the development of the mini-series. It's important, no doubt. Is it a sexy buy for a comic collector? no. On the positive side of this, under valued books give opportunity for those collectors who see their worth. Ron
4/16/2020 Topic: CGC and CBCS Ronbatman Administrator	Does it seem like CGC and CBCS are having a battle about who can have the most private signings? CGC announced Tom King - $65 per item Scott Snyder - $70 George Perez - $75 Frank Miller - $130 Clayton Crain - $70 If you went to a convention Tom King charges $15 for a CGC signing and Scott Snyder's is $20. CBCS announced Scott Snyder - $25 per item Greg Capullo - $25 per item Donny Cates - $25 per item Ryan Stegman - $25 per item Tom King - $20 per item Mitch Gerads - $20 per item Frank Miller - $100 per item Pretty big price difference between the two companies
