2/8/2022 Topic: Coin Collecting collectibleshop	google is your friend, or duckduckgo . all kinds of coin collecting software out there, most seem to cost money tho. try "free" Coin collection inventory software ' . putting 'free' in quotes makes sure it's included in the site results, cuts down a bit on non-free ones. or if you don't mind paying, leave out 'free'. I'd go search/ask on the NGC forum, surely they can tell you all you want to know: https://boards.ngccoin.com/ or the https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry, it's free, not sure if it's only for graded coins tho. this is 4 years old, but may be of use with answers: https://www.money.org/forums/numismatic-reference-lists/coin-collecting-software I found this free online site, didn't set off any virus alerts, not sure how safe/good it is. not the best english, but comes in multiple languages. doesn't have market prices tho, just inventory tracking: http://opennumismat.github.io/ "OpenNumismat is a handy and reliable application aimed at coin collectors, numismatists or amateurs looking to create a numismatics collection. With OpenNumismat, you will be able to organize and manage coin collection: create an advanced catalogue of your coins, wish and selling lists, view statistics for your collection." most of these tend to be apps for phones vs a site like CPG, but only did 1 search and only checked a few sites on page 1. have fun... edited by collectibleshop on 2/8/2022
2/9/2022 Topic: Daredevil #1E & #1F 2014 Vol 4 Inaccurate Covers collectibleshop	lotta that cover switching has happened due to migrating the image database, so good to have people catching stuff. the marvel.com pics are not production versions (no upc box) and your attached pic is huge, so attached normal size pics of both for cpg to use. for future reference, comics.org is a good place to get them. noticed 1C is also wrong, that's not the Skottie Young cover, it's the Paolo Rivera Black & White Variant. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/daredevil/1C/pjqylqx . it's swapped with 1B. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/daredevil/1B/pjqylpq that led me to DD 1.5 (issue #36 according to comics.org?), and looks like both 1B and C have the same cover but different artists listed: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/daredevil/1.5B/pjpqkuu -attached pic of Chris Samnee cover. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/daredevil/1.5C/pjpqkut -this one is correct. and F and G have same cover, but descrip says 1 should be the Blue variant, but both are gray. the blue is on #1.5E, but that descrip says it's the red cover. pic of red one attached since CPG doesn't have one.. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/daredevil/1.5F/pjpqkuy -this one says blue, shows gray, so need to put 1.5E pic here, and use the red cover on 1.5E. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/daredevil/1.5G/pjpqkux lots of fun for gilgandra or casper edited by collectibleshop on 2/9/2022
2/9/2022 Topic: Superman #75B V2 collectibleshop	just more database picture shifts. #75B has wrong pic, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/75B/snvylr , so attached pic of 1st print. Superman title on 1st prints is yellowish, 2nd prints are white. 75D has wrong pic too, that's not the bagged platinum edition, so attached pic of it too. 75D pic is the 4th print. Since 75F, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/75F/phtqluq is the unbagged version of the bagged #75, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/75/vnptn , shouldn't it be listed right after that one instead of way after the others? would make more sense.
2/10/2022 Topic: Blackest Night: Black Lantern Green Arrow #30 collectibleshop	after many variations of searches, it's under the volume 4 of Green Arrow: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/green-arrow/30/wbuqnr CPG doesn't like links to the realm, so you'll want to remove that, or they will. comics.org is a better place for pics, and they also have it as just Green Arrow #30. what's on the cover is not necessarily the actual title, so check the indicia inside and see what it says. not every site calls everything the same either, so can get frustrating finding stuff sometimes. Green Arrow 50th is annual #4 from 1991. annuals/specials are under their own tabs on the main title results. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/green-arrow/4_annual/porxj for more search tips, see this thread for my search tips (4th post down): https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic12110-evil-ernie-youth-gone-wild-directors-cut.aspx https://comicspriceguide.com/faqsfor a few How To answers about submitting missing images and reporting missing issues etc. Watch CPG's 'How To' youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3eOHtGDGIs0GGohUDuypf3TlQM2aupdo edited by collectibleshop on 2/10/2022

Don't know if I should post this here as well or start a new thread, but will try here first. As I'm chasing down my Alex Ross covers, I also found this weird quirk, probably related to your migration issue. DEATH OF WOLVERINE #1 (2014-2015) Mini-Series It appears the correct cover for #1B (The Steve McNiven Canada Variant Cover) is missing and thus all the cover pictures starting here & below (at least for issue #1, I didn't check the rest) in the column are off by being 1 level too high up. Looks like the Canadian Variant cover needs to be added and all the other cover photos dropped down 1 level to fit the proper comic description. Per your direction, I have pulled the picture from the resource you mentioned above & attached it. Hope this helps & is an easy fix, thanks again! I didn't fix anything, I'm not an admin, but you're welcome. and yes, it appears most of the Death Of Wolverine 1s are out of order for the artist's names and correct covers. I didn't check each one tho. an admin will come along and get it all tidied up, and if you can edit your original post's subject to 'Alex Ross cover corrections' or something like that, then you can keep adding new finds to this thread, as can others.
2/10/2022 Topic: Print comic book values: collectibleshop	wrong forum for this, you want the Questions and Answers forum nearer the top of the main forum list. you can find CPG help videos that cover this on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3eOHtGDGIs2A7_jQdSV_ZuYxTmGfs1W1 and search for 'export collection' on the forums, this gets asked all the time. these threads may help: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic15414-printing-of-my-collection.aspx https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic13868-collection-list.aspx they may have the exact same answers tho. have fun...
2/10/2022 Topic: Linking EBay Listings collectibleshop	if you mean 'link' it in a forum post, all you need to do is paste the e* url in your post, and post in the Comic Auctions forum only: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/forum13-comic-auctions.aspx plenty of examples in there. if you post a classified ad you can somehow import your e* listing/link, but I don't know quite where they hide that info, but the CPG youtube videos probably have that info: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3eOHtGDGIs2A7_jQdSV_ZuYxTmGfs1W1
2/11/2022 Topic: Superman #75B V2 collectibleshop	Gilgandra wrote: Both Fixed, Thanks guys. thanks for the work. if you want, I found a bit better pic for the Dynamic Forces Creator Series Standard Edition Comic Book in hardcover case version, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/75/phrshts . attached below. sharper and easier to read more of the plaque.
2/11/2022 Topic: Amazing Spider-Man V6 #88 Tyler Kirkham Variant collectibleshop	It's faster if you submit it yourself. Your pics could use some size reduction, like to 400px wide or so, but otherwise they appear to be production pics. Use the "Report Missing Variant" function found in the listings for individual books. You must be logged in to do this. Navigate to the specific book that is missing a variant. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/amazing-spider-man-the/88/phtxour Select the 'Variants' tab found next to 'Values'. You should see a red box titled "Report Missing Variants" on the right side below any listed variants. Clicking the box will bring up a page where you can enter information specific to the variant you are reporting (not all is required if other versions exist). This includes what it's called, price, artist, publication date, etc. This makes it much faster for the admins to process the request. edited by collectibleshop on 2/11/2022 edited by collectibleshop on 2/11/2022
2/12/2022 Topic: Cover Scan for Complete American Gods, The collectibleshop	added attachment of the slipcase in case they'd rather use it, as they usually do, but with no cover title it may be better to use the book cover. you know you can use the 'missing scan' button and upload the pic too, right? but this way they have a choice, so no biggie. edited by collectibleshop on 2/12/2022
2/12/2022 Topic: Crossover Issue 9 Anti Hero Gallery Variant collectibleshop	Hi, welcome to the wacky world of missing variants on CPG. couple ways to do this--NAME all the artist/publisher/store who did the variant, since everyone these days does a ton for every issue, so saves searching and comparing artist names. In this case it's David Rubin. why antihero's site doesn't have them I don't understand, even if out of stock, show all your variants! attach good pics or links to them, saves everyone time hunting them down. read some forum replies first to see the million times the 'how to add variants yourself' instructions have been posted this is them: Get a good square-on scan, .jpg format preferred, cropped to the edges of the comic. If you can't, then find them on the net, with no watermarks, no signatures, no pro-graded ones, and try to make sure they're a published version, not a pre-production pic (like a Previews solicitation often is), as those get changed in production all the time. Use the "Report Missing Variant" function found in the listings for individual books. You must be logged in to do this. Navigate to the specific book that is missing a variant. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/crossover/9/phuxoxs in this case. Select the 'Variants' tab found next to 'Values'. You should see a red box titled "Report Missing Variants" on the right side below any listed variants. Clicking the box will bring up a page where you can enter information specific to the variant you are reporting (not all is required). This includes what it's called, price, artist, publication date, etc. This makes it much faster for the admins to process the request. a good resized pic is about 350x-400px wide. comics.org is usually a good place to get them, but they don't have these yet. I got the pics and resized them and attached them below, so you can practice adding those unless Gilgandra beats you to it, but you'll know for next time. watch CPG's How To Videos for all kinds of tips: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3eOHtGDGIs0GGohUDuypf3TlQM2aupdo The more you knooooowwwwwww... edited by collectibleshop on 2/12/2022
2/12/2022 Topic: Marvel SH Secret Wars #1 - Galactus Blue Error collectibleshop	this is the thread: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic16324-marvel-super-heroes-secret-wars---error.aspx
2/12/2022 Topic: Marvel SH Secret Wars #1 - Galactus Blue Error collectibleshop	pukie2122 wrote: Thank you for the thread. Was there agreement that a non-error copy exists? from what I've read, the 'non-error' copies are the second print and digital ones where the color was corrected. CGC does not note the white/blue nonsense, just 1st and second print. CBCS notes the 'error' but of course they ALL have it. my opinion is that all the 1st prints have the error, so many people are lying/hyping that it's not common and asking ridiculous prices, and getting it sometimes. I'm not spending more time on searches, but I saw none on e**** that were noted as 1st prints saying they DIDN'T have the blue/white Galactus, but doesn't mean a few didn't get printed near the end of the run when they found the mistake, IF they did in time. go read this CGC forum thread too, vast majority say all 1st prints had the error, and 1 post noted a No-Prize response from Marvel about the color "was caused by the effect of Galactus transitioning through the shield of the Beyonder into space." This of course was a joke to cover up the printing mistake. https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/404119-secret-wars-1-blue-galactus-variant/#comments and to make things worse, 1 guy has some copies with a RED Galactus he says, but the pics are gone or never worked, so dunno if those really exist, didn't go search. And BOTH versions are a blue costume, just different shades, so it should be called the white helmet version. dunno how this stuff gets started and everyone copies 1 person's description when it's not accurate. this 'error' should not be worth any more than a normal 1st print since all were apparently done that way. you can do your own searches and see if anyone ever finds a 1st print with correct colors.
2/12/2022 Topic: So You Want to Sell Your Comics? collectibleshop	iluvww wrote: I have a large collection of Warren magazines, most are 6.0 or better condition , I have creepys, eeries and vampirellas, how do I add photos to my listings? Do you sell by using PayPal as your payment, I've used eBay before , but new to selling on this site. thanks for any advice I can get thanks If you're a paying member you can upload your own pics for your comics for sale (not too huge and they will be resized anyway), or you can use CPG's pics and they will note 'not user's image' or something in the listing. There's a feature/field for pics for when you mark stuff for sale (I don't sell here so not 100% sure what all is involved there). you can take any kind of payment you and the buyer agree to, as payment does not go thru CPG and they take no fees or commission. their How To Videos should cover this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3eOHtGDGIs0GGohUDuypf3TlQM2aupdo edited by collectibleshop on 2/12/2022

2/13/2022 Topic: Marvel SH Secret Wars #1 - Galactus Blue Error collectibleshop	I hadn't looked at CPG's listing till now. So they have the 'doesn't exist/non-error' regular #1 at $55 in 9.4, and the 'they're all error editions' at $100 in 9.4. So to me they should remove one or the other, since after this many years most owners have stated they all have the 'error' edition, so there isn't two editions of the 1st print, and the 'error' copy is the common one, so should not be worth more, IF there even is a non-error 1st print, as THAT would be the rare one. And the subnote says '1st appearance of the Beyonder, voice only' ? A voice isn't an appearance! Something must appear to be an appearance. Reading voice text gives you no idea what a character looks like, so that should be reworded, but not sure how. '1st hint of the Beyonder, voice only' or something would be more accurate. And after looking at some pics in the CGC thread again, I see that the 2nd print costume is more purple than blue, hence the 'blue costume error' stuff, but in all the recolored later versions, like the Omnibus, they have the suit a deeper blue, not purple, so it WAS a printing error and not the Beyonder's light messing with things. haven't looked up 'Galactus costume over the years', but likely different artists had the suit as purple and blue at various times. But still more accurate to say it's the 'white helmet printing error, all have it, not rare'. This 'mistake' is like Overstreet saying Star Trek #1 from 1967 had a back cover variant for decades, when it never did. Sometimes the excuse was that Overstreet intentionally scattered erroneous info in the guide to nab counterfeiters who copied it, but I don't recall if they ever pointed out the intentional errors, but that would defeat the purpose. A response on the CGC forum from CGC about not noting this error on their labels was "Thanks for your email. I did check with the graders on this and they advised that we do not list this as an error because the color plates were switched while printing most of the print run so this happened to the majority of copies." Actually a color plate was missing, not switched, but whatevs.. so the powers that be can decide how to list this, I think I've spent enough time on it now. edited by collectibleshop on 2/13/2022
2/14/2022 Topic: X-Factor 92 Newstand Edition collectibleshop	jarhead answered while I was working on the pics... since the barcode is on the back and the front is the same, there's no real point in listing a newsstand edition too if the back is not included, other than collection accuracy. however, I notice they do for Wolverine 75, X-Men 25, and Excalibur 71, but the Wolverine is the Australian price edition. And it's the same pic for both X-Men 25s, and value is the same, so they could just use the same pic for XF 92 and name it newsstand too. But on the Excalibur 71 they put up the full wrap-around cover for the Direct, so I found better front and back pics of XF 92 (newsstand barcode on back cover) and stitched them together, and attached below, so you can copy and upload it using the Report Missing Variant button on the issue's page under the Variants tab at https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-factor/92/vcqwn , or an admin can add it. that'll be tree-fiddy as usual. edited by collectibleshop on 2/14/2022
2/15/2022 Topic: A new way to list? collectibleshop	uagman wrote: Just found this thread from a few years ago and would love to second this concept! While I love collecting and reading and the art and the stories, there's also that part of me that loves seeing top values. It would be great to have an easy way to see a top 100 list of my entire collection, across all the boxes, without having to upload additional images. I have not found it by searching, but I am fairly new to the platform, so maybe I'm missing it? If one has been created, can someone please post a link or a few directions? And if not, that would be an awesome addition to this incredible platform! see this thread from last year: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic16535-collection-features.aspx still only shows you the top 25 books. if you're a paying member and you have a Display Case, you can add pics to it and that will show 48 comics and sort by highest value. see this thread: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic12743-viewing-your-collection-values.aspx so they've increased the sort by value number from top 5 to 10 to 25 now, maybe eventually they'll go higher, keep asking.
2/18/2022 Topic: X-MEN #1 (2021) MARVEL UNLIMITED VARIANT collectibleshop	Hi, couple things for the future... Always provide a link to the CPG listing, especially on titles with tons of #1s, it saves people minutes waiting for search results to load. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men/1/phuqoup first try reading some forum posts that have replies, as you'd have found how to add/submit it yourself with the' Report Missing Variant' feature. this is how: Get a good square-on scan, .jpg format preferred, cropped to the edges of the comic. If you can't, then find them on the net, with no watermarks, no signatures, no pro-graded ones, and try to make sure they're a published version, not a pre-production pic (like a Previews solicitation often is), as those get changed in production all the time. 350-400px wide is a good size. Use the "Report Missing Variant" function found in the listings for individual books. You must be logged in to do this. Navigate to the specific book that is missing a variant. Select the 'Variants' tab found next to 'Values'. You should see a red box titled "Report Missing Variants" on the right side below any listed variants. Clicking the box will bring up a page where you can enter information specific to the variant you are reporting (not all is required). This includes what it's called, price, artist, publication date, etc. This makes it much faster for the admins to process the request. I attached a smaller, better pic you can copy and use so you know how, or admin may beat you to it. edited by collectibleshop on 2/18/2022
2/18/2022 Topic: Something is killing the Children "Slaughter Packs collectibleshop	Basement, they're not collected TPB editions, they're separate comics bundled as a pack, with new covers, so probably should be added as variants as Xvipah73 noted. comics.org doesn't have it listed yet either. details on previewsworld, pack 1: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/NOV210743 pack 2, due out March 2: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/DEC210815 nomad, it helps if you post links that show/tell what the missing books are, saves people time, thanks.
