2/28/2023 Topic: Missing Hardcover collectibleshop	Thewespie wrote: Ronbatman wrote: It's on the site already https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-the-world/pkyyox Ron When you type in the title it only comes up with the special edition not the hard cover why I was confused by it. with the new search features (that are not on the forum's search form, but are on the main site pages), you need to choose 'all' in the Comic Type dropdown to find other types of 'comics.' Or go down and choose Hard Cover, Soft Cover, Trade paperback etc, for those things that are not considered 'issues' like regular comic issues. Since 'Issue' is the default choice, you sometimes have to use those other options to find stuff. edited by collectibleshop on 2/28/2023
2/28/2023 Topic: Grease pencil collectibleshop	not to be TOO sarcastic, but there's this neat thing called google (or whichever search engine you like) that has all the answers. if you search 'how to remove grease pencil on comic book" you'll get youtube videos and tutorials and all kinds of professional and amateur info. do NOT do what the top result says and use acetone on a cloth (that one is not for comic books), or any liquid period. usually you can carefully use a dry cleaning pad and get most or all of it off. the CGC forums have multiple posts on this subject that will show on the search results. writing on the cover will usually kill the grade by 2 or more 'full' steps, as in a NM 9.4 will be more like a Fine 6.0, or even VG if you go by Overstreet standards, as VG is the 1st grade they allow 'initials etc' on the cover, vs date stamps etc.. grease pencil is usually 1 of the easier things to remove, so worth the expense to pay a pro to do it for a book like that in high grade, especially if you want to get it pro graded. there ya go, have fun reading..
3/1/2023 Topic: Missing TPB: Spider-Man: Big Time collectibleshop	after checking on e***, it seems CPG just missed listing the regular version. so I reduced and tweaked your pic and submitted it for review.
3/1/2023 Topic: Concerning Secret Wars #8 collectibleshop	just to tweak the answer more, it's a 'triple threat'--origin of the black costume/symbiote, 1st IN CONTINUITY app of the black costume (story takes place before ASM 252 but 252 was published first), and of course the symbiote becomes Venom and then part of it creates Carnage. The Venom part is what drove it to new heights after the new black costume frenzy died down some, then the Venom movies boosted it way more.
3/2/2023 Topic: more missing Swedish marvel collectibleshop	what Ron is saying is that if you search Serien for the title and choose Sweden in the Country menu, you'll get bunch of those titles. If you use All Countries, you'll get more (Norway and Denmark usually). If you search for Semic Press AB, you'll get the list that has: Daredevil ( https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/daredevil/phrvht ) Marvels Universum ( https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvels-universum/phrvhw ) Seriepressen vol 1( https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/seriepressen/unqpm ) and Vol 2 ( https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/seriepressen/unqpb ) are those the right ones?
3/2/2023 Topic: Marvel Greatest Collector's Pack Gambit collectibleshop	CPG doesn't generally list these kind of packs, since it's just the single issues repackaged. If you search for Marvel's Greatest, Marvel pack, collector's pack etc, you won't find any of those type packs. that Gambit series is here, so just add up the issue prices: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/gambit/smwy
3/2/2023 Topic: more missing Swedish marvel collectibleshop	I forgot to say 'under search by Publishers' for the Semic Press AB search, oops.
3/2/2023 Topic: UPC WRONG collectibleshop	lokyel wrote: Monster War #1 Values and Pricing \| Image Comics \| The Comic Price Guide (comicspriceguide.com) title should me MAGDALENA VS. DRACULA MONSTER WAR #1 is that what the indicia says? cuz it looks on the outside that the characters change every issue, hence why it could be just Monster War, and the rest is the story title. publishers can be weird tho, but it would make more sense to me to call it Monster War in the indicia, since the other covers say 'Monster War part # of 4' on them.

YES I believe in the use of the indicia. and yes, I actually own my books, not get my info from the web were someone else can give you wrong info. monster war is the story line. it jumps from one shots edited by lokyel on 3/4/2023 ok, will try to remember that you own the books in the future. it's just odd Image has done that set 'backwards' and does single one-shot titles but the storyline runs thru it, instead of the Monster War being the title and the stories are the monster names/battles. what evs, we got it now.
3/4/2023 Topic: Supreme 41 second printing by Maximum Press collectibleshop	comics.org lists it, but has no date info other than the 1st printing, so they have it as Aug 1996, which like you say, is probably not right given the dates in the ads inside. I submitted it as a variant just now, so it'll get added at some point. the e*** one sold for a best offer of $21.01 on Jan 19th according to 130point.
3/6/2023 Topic: Missing Issue: Star Wars Previews #1 collectibleshop	yeah, doesn't seem to be listed, and I checked under Marvel Previews too, and with just 'previews'. attached a nicer white cover pic from comics.org for CPG to use, and yes, this is a free promotional issue.
3/6/2023 Topic: Superman The Death of Clark Kent collectibleshop	it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman-the-death-of-clark-kent/ubtp with the new search features, many times you need to choose the 'comic type' to find stuff like TPBs vs using the default 'issue', or choose 'all' for type.
3/6/2023 Topic: About the Cover to X-Factor #1 (1991) collectibleshop	That's X-FORCE, not X-Factor a good place to check for that kind of stuff is e***, and use the zoom feature on ones that have good pics. I found several with the scratch, and ones without. So it's a production thing, and likely many have it (like the scratch on Predator #1), but I'd guess that ones without it get a bit higher prices, so you may need to adjust downward a bit, but be sure the mention the scratch of course. good luck with them.
3/7/2023 Topic: Missing Variant - Sins of Sinister Strikeforce Var collectibleshop	I found a pic and submitted the variant just now. For the future, it's always very helpful to post a link to a good pic or attach one. Sometimes new ones are hard to find pics of right away, and they need to be production cover pics, not pre-production that may not be the final version.
3/7/2023 Topic: The New Defenders collectibleshop	Xvipah73 wrote: I don't think there's actually a title called "New Defenders" It's just Defenders Volume 1, and they renamed it around issue 125'ish I think https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/defenders-the/slru edited by xvipah73 on 3/7/2023 correct. there's a New Defenders trade paperback, but no series under New Defenders, it's just volume 1 renamed at #125, which CPG notes on that issue. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/defenders-the/125/phqpjyq
3/7/2023 Topic: About the Cover to X-Factor #1 (1991) collectibleshop	Khoskinssa wrote: lokyel wrote: This issue came with either regular Captain America logo box (black on white, Positive) or with (white on black, Negative) Captain America on the direct edition or was it a newsstand edition? all of ours are direct and they do not have the line on the cover. Hmmm... Mine are all direct with the negative Captain America logo. I wonder how (un)common this defect is. I'd guess it's pretty common. About 5 million copies were printed, so even a small percentage having that scratch would still mean many are out there. I was collecting then, and I don't recall if my copies had it or if anyone really noticed it back then, but based on the small sample I looked at on e**, I think it's fairly common. I tried some google searches, with 'scratch' and 'line' on the cover for that issue, but didn't come up with anything helpful. you could do a search on the CGC forums and maybe find a thread on it, if you have time to kill and go thru too many search results. edited by collectibleshop on 3/7/2023*
3/8/2023 Topic: DC UNIVERSE LOGO VARIENT collectibleshop	There's a 100 page thread on the CGC forums about the DCU logo variants for anyone interested. Thread started in 2014. 1st page has a text list and then pics, likely more additions as the years go by. https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/351618-comprehensive-list-of-dc-universe-logo-upc-variants/ edited by collectibleshop on 3/8/2023
3/9/2023 Topic: Superman vol 1 things to fix collectibleshop	https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/1B/sbqxiv shows the funko pop edition, not the Masterpiece edition. correct pic attached. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/153/yctqn has .10 cover listed, but it's .12. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/161-2nd%20Print/ucsuby date says May 1963 but it was published in 1987 (comics.org), and cover price is wrong, it's 1.25, not 1.35. was surprised at the number of missing cover prices after all this time, so trying to add those, but am getting the 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object/no issues associated with this title' error now when trying to get to page 3 of the results. 1st 2 pages were fine, got pages 4 and 5 to work after a few tries with both the page number dropdown and the arrows, page 6 gets the error after multiple tries, page 7 works. getting that error on many titles these days, makes it hard to submit/verify info. too many to list. edited by collectibleshop on 3/9/2023
3/10/2023 Topic: Superman vol 1 things to fix collectibleshop	finally got pages 3 and 6 to load today, so... https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/222/xnxvi has a $25 cover price instead of .25. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman/257/xlxub has a $100 price instead of .20.
3/16/2023 Topic: not getting email notifications about messages collectibleshop	have had 2 messages this month from mods that I've not received an email notification about, so hope someone can check into that. I don't look at my dashboard very often, so rely on the email alerts about new messages. they're not going to my spam folder, and my email address is the same as always. this happens every now and then, so hope it's just a glitch. thanks.
