What do we do if we want to suggest a title change?

For instance:
I have a number of TPB that look like they belong to this title:
http://comicspriceguide.com/titles/gold-digger/thyp

However, all the books are titled "The Collected Gold Digger" which separates them from being the TBP of their respective series or volumes.

Additionally, are 2nd, 3rd and forth printings usually labeled as 1, 1A, 1B, 1C? If so, there are some missing issues that I'll have to request.

The titles used in the price guide are always the titles as shown in the copyright information. Back of the title page, for TPBs. If you look at that, you'll probably see that the title given here is correct. If not, there's an easy way to contact the PG data compilers to make changes when necessary; look around a bit and you'll find it.

^ This is correct. However, we do have a new search feature that allows us to tag books with "common titles" or "common search phrases". So if you have some books you had to dig around for, let me know the search terms you tried to use and the book, and I can fix it so they show up for that search in the future.

Here is the back of the title page of the first TPB:
http://www.screencast.com/t/q9sjelLd

To me, this would mean I'm looking for a title "THE COLLECTED GOLD DIGGER" but that gets no results. If it is indeed the area I linked to in my first post, then there must be a some issues missing if my TPB is a third printing, right (as there are only a #1 and #1A listed, this would be #1B)?

What I'm looking for are the issues listed on this page at comicvine.com

For your common search tag feature, is that something I do or you do?

Thanks for all your help!

Hmm..... that does indeed appear that they officially titled their TPB series different than the comic series itself. Odd.

Normally, we like to keep the TPBs within the same title as the original comics.... but I think it's right to separate them in this case.

Here's the individual issues, by the way: http://comicspriceguide.com/admin/title/gold-digger/thvx

And I did make the change to update the title. I'm also going to make it so the original Gold Digger series shows up if you search for "The Collected Gold Digger" because I imagine people interested in the TPB would also want to see the original issues.

Now we just need to get those covers updated smile

Thanks for the heads up.

I think that's because these TPB include both the initial four part miniseries (#1-4) in #1 and the first few similar issues (#1-4) of the first volume in #2. Which is odd, for sure.
