I was curious as to why "flip books" like Youngblood #2 (#2b & #2c) (its not the only one I've found), are listed twice, once for one side and then again for the other. The weirdest part is that one side is usually worth more than the other, in this case, almost 4 times. Any thoughts?  Thanks

Most likely a mistake. Unless you have the comic in your hand and see that it's a flip book, you aren't going to automatically know. Price differences would occur because auctions will display different sides of the comic and one cover may be preferred over the other. Sales results could differ based upon what is shown in the auction or ad.

Well then, there are quite a few "mistakes" here on CPG. I thought books were submitted, then verified by more than one person?

There are simply too many comics for the staff to know everything about every comic. I own close to 10,000 comics, but that's a drop in the bucket to what is listed. Even if the book is listed correctly at the start, someone can come around later and say "my comic isn't listed." If it was bagged and boarded, they may have never flipped the comic over to see the other cover was listed. 100's of limited variants come out per year and the staff relies upon collectors to say what exists or not. They can look up stuff online to verify the claims are true, but that won't always tell them a comic is a flip book.

When you're approaching 1.1 million books in the database mistakes happen. If you send me an email I will research it and correct it. Flip books are funny because we get people saying we don't have them listed all the time.

Fixed and added notes on flip covers. Can anyone confirm the existence of a Youngblood 3 2nd print? I see no evidence of it and the scan originally in there was of the flip cover

Can't speak to the Youngblood issue, but I've got another flip book for you to fix if you'd like.

Thats not an error. There is a single edition of each title with cover price 99c and a flipbook version for $1.99
