Feature Request - My Missing

When looking at a Title, one of the choices for filtering is the tab "MY ISSUES". That's great and I love it.
But it is not helpful when I want to know which issues for that title I am missing.
So would it be possible to add a new tab for all of my missing issues for that title? Maybe "My Missing" or "Missing Issues" or whatever?
Thank you.

Why not just search for the title and SEE what issue numbers you don't have? that's why there's issue numbers smile . sure, it'd be handy to show them under My Issues, but they have lots of other projects to do, and you can do the 'work' yourself, so wouldn't hold your breath on this.



So bring up the list of 100 per page... scroll through the 6 pages (600 comics)... and go "Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, DON'T got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, DON'T got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, got it, DON'T got it, [etc x24]."
Much easier then a list of what I don't have.
Thank you.

So, you want a tab for the millions of books you don't have? smile



I was unaware of a TITLE that has millions of issues. Even at 2 per month, for just two million issues, that would be a 83,333 year print history.
Thank you.

this feature is already a thing
go to your collection then list then want list

It doesn't seem to be.
The Collection link brings up this list, and there is no Want List on the page:



Clicking on Want List and View Want List from here:


displays a list of comics that I would have to manually enter. (I entered one to show this.) It's not an automatic listing of my "holes" for any specific Title.


Or are you talking about something else?

Thank you.

Ok, I think I know what you want. If you go to the checklist page
https://comicspriceguide.com/checklists/
Then look for the "need checklist". That will show you every missing issue of every series in which you own at least one issue.

Hey Ronbatman,
That "NEED CHECKLIST" is the type of list I want, but for only for a specific Title when on that Title page. So in the pic below, the "NEEDS" button would be there along with "MY ISSUES", and it would only list my "NEED" ones for FF vol 1. (The implementation wouldn't be too bad, as the SQL for the "Need" button would just be a 0 instead of a 1 for the "owns" database column - or whatever it's named.)
With being specific just for the one Title I'm looking at while at a Con or in my LCS, the result wouldn't be 500 phone screens long like the NEED CHECKLIST one is - even when doing it by Publisher. It would also truly only list the ones I don't have, as opposed to showing all numbers just bolded or greyed out. And with the "NEED" button being on a Title's page, you can quickly see the value of the comic with the "PRICE GUIDE" button right there. It's just that the Need Checklist isn't so atomic, and requires a lot of refined searching.


Thank a lot for the help. It was very much in the right direction.

For the reason rixmaxx & Ocalagreg said - are you selecting "Completed" in your EBay search?

Each Thor movie gets more and more corny. This one seemed like it was a Spaceballs parody of a Thor movie. Will the next one be like watching The Three Stooges?

Having a "Your collection" button for creators would make things so much simpler when trying to find, say, what books to bring to a con to get signed, or what books to send in for a signature, or anything along those lines.



I 100% agree and would love this feature. The lack of it is is why I have to keep all my comics in both CPG and an Access DB.

So Many New (or Relaunched) X (and related) Titles

Yeah, this is where I get a little "overloaded" with all the titles - when a character or team gets over 4 titles. Marvel is doing it now with Star Wars too. DC is doing it with Batman. At one point it was Deadpool. And Avengers.
And I end up thinking to myself "Hey, why not concentrate your efforts into FEWER titles with BETTER stories and art?"

Is there a way for Members to directly edit data such as the Cover Price, Publish Date, and Description (ex: "First appearance of Bob. John Smith Variant Cover.")... or is this all still done under the Database & Missing Issue Discussion?
I see under the VERIFY DATA page there are "Dates" and "Price", but don't see how I can make edits on an issue's Details page.

You could try a Google Image Search on a pic of it.
What I usually do, is search each person's name who contributed to it + "autograph" in Google and try to match it up.
