Hello!

I uploaded 18 variant covers for the Quested comic series, every single one of them extremely clear and easy to see/read. However I no longer see them in the verify data que and they are not published.

I followed the directions someone gave me in this link https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=18213#post42346

Is there something wrong with what I uploaded? Were they too big? I can make them smaller if needed. Let me know and ill get it fixed!

VARIANTS get handled a bit differently. they usually have to be vetted by a CPG employee, if you used the 'report missing variant' function. they won't show on the Verify Data page then. If you used the 'missing scan' function, then they usually show on the Verify page. I was up late last night verifying stuff, plus during the day, and I didn't see any Quested cover submissions. You can go to the title and click in the ones you submitted and below the listing it will show you what you submitted, IF they weren't removed for whatever reason already, but they're not usually that fast.
pics need to be under 5 mb, which is huge, and .jpg format is best but they do take .png too.
so check out what an issue shows below it's listing and see if your submission is there, awaiting approval, which can take a while.

Alright so I took a look.
I used the "contribute scan" button below the "missing scan" image on each individual one.

I remember seeing it change to "pending review"

I remember seeing it being listed on the verify page.

They are all 90KB-250KB and 823x1248.

They do not show up under "my misses"

its like the submissions were just deleted?

interesting. just because I didn't see them on the verify page of course doesn't mean they weren't there before I looked. the image physical size is large (400 by 600px is big enough), but the file size is ok. where did you get the pics? cuz your submission for Xena 1G won't fly because it has a mycomicshop watermark, so go delete that and beat the nopes. can't use pics from MCS or any with watermarks. comics.org doesn't have the red foil one. sometimes an admin will delete submissions and not tell you, so guessing that's what happened.
attached a clean pic of Xena you can copy and resubmit. no thanks, needed, wait till you get my bill smile
sent a pm too.

Deleted, and re-uploaded. Thank you kind sir.

I got them from League of Comic Geeks, and I just clicked through some of them and there are no water marks on them.

Hoping an admin responds sometime in the next few days, if not I'll just try again I guess?

you're welcome. the League often has pre-production pics too, but usually on newer releases, but I've been noped on some of theirs cuz they weren't production pics. and sometimes when there's no prices or UPC boxes on the front on production copies, and you think the pre-production one is the same, you discover that maybe the title is a different color/shade, or background, or has different placement of the title or other elements that are subtle, so easy to miss. I know I have a few times, and get noped. art directors make it hard sometimes...

all ways a safe bet to just scan your copy and crop it vs. using one from the web
