This is a step by step procedure on how to submit data and increase your ranking on CPG.
Everyone starts off as a “0” rank.  That doesn’t mean you aren’t valued and important only that we don’t know you yet. To get to a 1 ranking, all you have to do is submit 5 pieces of information. I suggest going through books you have that don’t have a price on the site. When someone approves those 5 things you become a 1. Yay you!
After you become a 1 you can go to this page and help verify things.
https://comicspriceguide.com/verify-data
Important Side Note – For any piece of data to be approved some member or admin has to give it 10 points. Obviously, if you’re a 1 you’re not approving anything by yourself, but you are helping. The more things you approve the higher your ranking. To approve a specific creator for a book a member who is a 1, a 5 and a 4 could approve it because that is 10 points. Or a 1 and a 9 could approve it. You get the idea.
We are a tribe of comic book people making something that is awesome by working together.
Back to the step by step
1. Go to https://comicspriceguide.com/verify-data
2. Click on one of the four tabs, covers, published dates, cover prices or creators.
3. Confirm or deny the data based on your collection or a trustworthy source. Cover prices are the easiest because they are usually printed on the cover scan.
4. If you cannot confirm or deny the information, go to the next item.
5. When a book reaches 10 points confirming it will be removed from this list and put on the site with no asterisk.
Some information like missing issues and variants can only be approved by Admins. However, if you get to be a 9 on the site and want to become an admin, please let us know. By the time you’ve reached a 9 we probably already know your name.
Here is my name,
Ron

Value suggestions don't count toward increasing your rank. (the original topic)
We receive a ridiculous number of value suggestions each day, week, month. When you look at the recent value change page on the site https://comicspriceguide.com/value-changes/ you can see new additions each day. That means we are working on those suggestions. Each collector is concerned about different books, eras, genres so there is a wide variety of books that get looked at. Xena, Prince, Dracula, Batman vs. Predator, Pep Comics, Mars Attacks, Rick and Morty, Redneck and Sandman were all adjusted yesterday.

Donald, I don't know what number you have to reach to become a "5" or any other level, sorry. Your information has to be approved before it adds to your total.
Solarno, there's chocolate and coffee somewhere? (scouring the area, picking up comics, statues and mail looking) It's funny because I'm drinking coffee right now.
The CPG admins do so much great work for the site. They are the real MVP's.

This thread is getting on a year old so maybe this follow-up will get lost to the void, but I'm wondering if there's any info on the number of points you need to "level up". I've been at level 4 for a while now, and I feel like it's taking more information to get from level 4 to 5 than it did to get from level 0 to 4. I'm still entering info because I enjoy it, but I wondered if there's something I'm missing in order to get to the next level.

I got screwed on the house I was trying to buy which I had my own comic book room. so now back to the drawing board. currently looking for another house that will house my comic book room. hard to do with such a specific hobby/ lifestyle. once i have secured 1 I will be on in full force with my 40k book collection. so many to add to the system including 6 long boxes of books not in database. as well as looking to help expand the brand at conventions. I have family in Indy so I would have a place to stay if I would be able to fly over and help out/ invest.

Rusty, same here. I think they get hundreds or thousands of suggestions so it takes time to get through them all.
I know I've been waiting on some of my submissions for months now...even longer on variant issues.
