as I noted in your other post, this has been posted about already. I bumped that post and attached the 3rd variant, and now 2 people have instructions in how to submit them properly, so it's up to you all. I don't do those type submissions any more.

Comic Book Price guide app

many times I just don't get why people don't try the search function here or google or any other search engine you like. CPG has a price guide app, it's on google play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arkham , and on the apple store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/comics-price-guide/id1371496914

maybe I'm blind, but why isn't there a link to it under the 'Price Guide' menu at the top? And the FAQs page under About? And maybe a text link in the bottom menu of the 'regular' part of the site, as I think most people ignore the little google and apple icons up top or have that stuff blocked.

How the heck do I...

as per ronbatman's posts about this, have you tried this?
On your Manage Collection page, you have a list of publishers. There's a red Delete button on the right, clicking that should delete the entire publisher's list. Still means clicking delete for each publisher, but better than clicking each comic.

not sure if that's maybe more than you want to delete, but if you've sold some complete publisher titles, that should speed things up. at this time I know of no other way to delete more at once.
you can bug bneely[@]comicspriceguide.com, he does the programming. good luck.

you can find them at comics.org using the title+cover number, although 90038-509 didn't come up as they have it wrong, as 90039-509. bookmark that site for future use, it comes in handy.
#91: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/uncle-scrooge/91/powsnr
#122: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/uncle-scrooge/122/powsmu (comics.org has this number wrong)
#136: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/uncle-scrooge/136/powsby
mycomicshop also has the cover numbers, and a google search would find them too. but glokar is right, looking inside will tell you the actual issue number to use.
now you can remove your other 3 posts smile

A.X.E. Judgement Day FCBD Incorrect Listing Title

Solicited as "Free Comic Book Day 2022: Avengers/X-Men #1": https://freecomicbookday.com/Catalog/JAN220029
Listed that way on Marvel's site: https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/100671/free_comic_book_day_2022_avengersx-men_2022_1

Marvel Heroes Library site says: "This issue's indicia lists it as Free Comic Book day 2022: Avengers/X-Men #1. Not only does this ignore the Bloodline story but it removes the Eternals from the cover credit."

CPG uses the indicia for the titles. I found a readonline site that supposedly shows all pages, but the only page that would be an indicia does not state the title in that part of the page with the publishing year, etc. So CPG has it where it's 'supposed to be', but in the words of the late, great comic George Miller, "Why can't we have both?"

So simple solution is to list it under both places.

Titan comics is a UK publisher, not US, so you have to use the Country drop down menu and choose UK or All Countries. it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/cowboy-bebop/phqsmu

Misspelled

this has been known for 46 years, so no, it doesn't make it more valuable. many characters have their name misspelled here and there, and for the full print run, so it can't affect the value if they all have it.
doesn't make your post more valuable either cuz you misspelled it too smile . In the comic it's Havoc instead of Havok. some editor was asleep, or a typesetter was.

ALPHA FLIGHT SPECIAL #2 - Newsstand or Direct?

collectibleshop
collectibleshop
google is your friend smile
so, after googling it, there's a variety of opinions about who puts the stickers on, but it's not a rarity by any means.

theories are the distributor does it on some to send to newsstands, maybe due to not getting enough newsstand issues from the publisher, or it was only done for the direct market and no normal newsstand edition was printed, so they slap barcode stickers on for the bookstores etc to make it easier for the inventory/scanning.

another is that some actual stores put the stickers on so they can use their scanners and inventory software. and some say the publisher may do it to supply some to newsstand sellers, or to correct a price printed on the underlying barcode (which yours doesn't have of course).

see these threads on the CGC forum (always a good place to check for such questions, as many are already answered over the years), and scroll thru to see the more informative guesses:
https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/445670-upc-sticker/
https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/471589-how-does-cgc-handle-aftermarket-upc-stickers/?tab=comments#comment-11271507

CGC, at least when that 2nd thread was made, gives them the green Qualified label just cuz it's a sticker, regardless who puts it on there. Didn't see remarks on if these are considered newsstands or directs. They're Directs with newsstand stickers, so actually Direct copies, but distributed on newsstands mostly, I think, so it's a toss up.

That's alls I know, as the character on Murphy Brown used to say.

Questions about missing first appearances

that would be the Database and Missing Issue forum, since it's database information. It appears the ability to add that info is under the admins purview, so supply the issue info, and link to the CPG listing, and the pertinent 'proof' of the first appearance, which you can find verification for from other database sites like comics.org, various wikis, or publishers.

Listing for The Circle Series by Ted Dekker-full

Hi,
it helps to post a link to the listing, as there's several The Circle series. I assume it's this one:
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/circle-trilogy-the/unxvi

And no, members can't add titles, only admins can, but you're doing what you're supposed to do by reporting the missing hardcover here and providing a pic, so they'll add it when they get to it.

yeah, that toolbar pic and instruction is way out of date and needs fixing. You could submit it as a variant under the #1 issue under the Variants tab, but since you've already posted the info needed here, there's not much point, and the H/C is not really a variant.
So Ronbatman or Casper0312 or someone will come along and get it added at some point.

Missing Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything #1

collectibleshop
collectibleshop
You can submit it yourself, but not a signed copy. CPG doesn't list signed comics unless it's by Dynamic Forces usually. As for value, it's whatever someone is willing to pay for it. google it and see who else has it for sale, and check e*** for closed/sold auctions if there are any.

I've attached a pic of the regular version. here's how you can submit it: 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/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-bebop-rocksteady-destroy-everything/1/pjyrjtr
  • 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 (publisher has $25 on it, but sold out of course), artist, publication date, print limitation if stated, etc. This makes it much faster for the admins to process the request.
so you can copy the attached pic and do that, if some admin doesn't beat you to it.

S.H.I.E.L.D. 2011

Hi,
several things... nope, not the right forum, you wanted 1 up from this one, as this is for COMPLETED missing issues.
always helpful to post a link to the series, as there's multiples of this title and some cross over years.
this issue is under it's own listing of S.H.I.E.L.D. Infinity #1 instead of the 2011 series like other sites have it.
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/shield-infinity/tovvc

the pic link for this variant isn't working, but they have it, so I'll report in a thread about that. it's a common problem since the image migration a few months ago.

Vampirella Strikes #3

please always link to the series.
what appears to have happened is that #3 of the 2022 series was added to the 2013 series: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/vampirella-strikes/whwrc
they should be in this series: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/vampirella-strikes/phqvit
many are missing pics, but I'm not gonna go searching for who has them at the moment, other than comics.org doesn't either. the publisher's site may not have production images, hard to know.

dunno what's with the Street Fighter 2022 swimsuit issue. mycomicshop has it, so it's apparently been published.
@casper0312, you want to check on that? this is the publisher's site: https://store.udonentertainment.com/products/pre-order-2022-street-fighter-swimsuit-special-1-cvr-a-norasuko

other covers are at the bottom in a scrolling pane. would go in this series: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/street-fighter-swimsuit-special/xnpyc

so like they say in the movies, "And now, we wait."

The Scorched #9 (Wrong Cover)

collectibleshop

yeah, looks like the 9B pic got used for both versions. and it APPEARS that the league pic is pre-production, with the yellow title etc, while MCS and ebay PICS of actual copies have white titles and Image info boxes, like 9B has. attached a pic of that version, so casper can have fun deciding, but methinks the white letters are the correct published version. the League often uses pre-production/solicitation pics, so not the best place to get pics. better to check comics.org (which has no pics of #9 yet), mycomicshop and e*** camera pics to confirm what the production version is.

David, try the attached pic for the https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/madballs-vs-garbage-pail-kids/1-RI-G/phvslys cover, it's better. no charge either smile
the E cover is weird. half the time it enlarges and is fuzzy, then click it again and it's clear.

Topic:
New title

collectibleshop
collectibleshop
just so you don't get your hopes up, CPG doesn't usually list kickstarter/self-published comics like Silverline appears to be these days. Generally if it's not available thru Previews or some other comic distribution service, they don't list them, as there's a gajillion of those things out there, and too hard to get market prices. Comics.org only lists 1 title of the 'new' Silverline, from 2019, saying "In 2019, Silverline restarted as a print on demand comic book publisher by Mann." You'll note CPG only has few of the now defunct Silverline titles from the 90s, so they don't list any of the more recent stuff. https://comicspriceguide.com/publishers/silverline

as for the Star Wars signed comic, CPG doesn't list those either, unless done by Dynamic Forces. See this post: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic9-signed-and-remarked-comics.aspx
