X-Corp is listed as X-Corps here but there is not a letter "s" in the title on the cover or in the indicia inside the book.

Gains & Drops Don't Add Up

I track the value of my collection every day or two. Sometimes I'll see that my collection has increased in value by, say, $50, without adding any comics to the database. I go see which books have changed in value and their individual changes don't add up to $50. It might add up to only $20. Why am I not seeing everything? Am I doing something incorrectly?


The gains and loss page only shows the last 15 days and the drop down box only shows the last 10 changes so maybe it's possible you have a total value change from gains and losses but some are past the 15 days and not showing and that page since it's past the 15 days since the change occurred? I'm guessing here so maybe it's something else.

The price on Alpha Flight is pretty close with the past sales online but your right the price on Sunfire & Big Hero 6 should be much higher and like you mentioned it appears to be the actual first appearance of Big Hero 6.

I was just updating an issue I own, and I went to add the "letterer" and i accidentally clicked the editor field instead. But, there's no way to go back and fix that once the field has been clicked. What are our options for something like that? Just take the miss and move on?


You should be able to go into the help verify data area and find the book that you made the mistake on and fix it. I think.

THANKS GUYS!!!

I am taking notes for sure.


So whilst going through this site, I saw I could add my comics to my collection piggy backing on someone else's listing which was so cool to do however I think there were listing errors for example direct edition and newsstand editions. Looking at my comics, the DIRECT EDITION has a bar code on the cover whilst the others do not and some listings have DIRECT EDITION written on their listing but their cover picture does not and the other way round. I also found 5 of my comics not listed on the site and I could not load my pictures but damn besides that, this site has everything comic book people need.


There are direct editions and newstand editions listed here on the site. Depending on the year of the books some direct editions still have barcodes but will say direct edition with the barcode some direct editions will have pictures in the area that a barcode would normally be. As for the 5 comics you can't find on here, let us know what they are and we can help you locate them as well or the admins can get it added if it's truly not already on the site.

I own the vol 1 #1 and #398 and have seen the cover to vol 2 #1 and #19 so I know both volumes go to at least 398 and 19.



Also the dates are taken from the covers.

You can't go wrong buying key crossover issues that old. It may not skyrocket in price, but the desire for collectors to own it will stay steady.



That post was from 3 and a half years ago smile If they did buy it then for an investment I'm sure they would have doubled the price in today's market smile

What in the world is going on with BCW? There plastic comic book bins used to be $99 for a box of 5 then they went up to $125 supposedly due to COVID and today I just looked on Amazon and they are now at $160 dollars. What the heck does BCW think they are making these out of gold!?Whaaaaa? Time to go back to cardboard boxes Duhh

Seems like everyone is using the COVID excuse more and more even though at least here in the States we have been back up and running for quite some time now.

Am I the only one here who uses steel filing cabinets?


I have a wood shop here at home as one of my other hobbies and I have thought about building custom cabinets for my comics. I have seen other's comic rooms with custom cabinets and they look awesome. It's just such a big project to commit to though lol. One day..
