sorry to say, but the pic doesn't meet CPG standards, so no real help to submit. I found a good pic and attached it for CPG to use. I tried to fix yours, but wasn't doable, and there's odd wavy lines in it too, when looked at the full size version.
here's my standard blurb on pic standards: .jpg, .png, or .gif format preferred, straight on/squared up, cropped to he edges of the comic. No watermarks, no signatures, no pro-graded ones, no bagged/boarded pics unless it's a factory polybag, and try to make sure they're a published version, not a pre-production pic (like a Previews solicitation often is), as those get changed in production all the time. Best to resize them if you can to about 500x700px, but CPG can do that too.
and the 'old' guidelines are in this post: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5
so maybe best to find good pics off the net if whatever your using makes those lines. and yes, for now you'll need to post missing variants in here till they get things fixed, which is taking a long time for some reason.

I'm confused why you guys are saying the report variant functionality is gone? I see it right there on the right. I think it's in a different place than it used to be, but it's there. And we are getting new variants submitted all the time, it definitely has not gone static.

I do not know what OS you are using or if you are using a Mac, but I do not have that 'Report Missing Variant' button. I even went to the same page you posted and it is not there on my Windows 10.

we're saying it because it's not there for many of us. Doesn't show to me, and i disabled my adblock to make sure it wasn't blocking it, and it wasn't. I'm using a windows desktop and older firefox version, and have a newer version that's the last one I can use with my windows version, and the variant link doesn't show up in that either. my guess is that the ones who can see it are mac users. pgghead is able to upload missing scans using a mac, but us windows users can't, so something CPG did has messed up the functionality of many things (does the verify page trashcan icon work for anyone?), which has been going for weeks now.
I looked at the source code on the Rise of the Powers of X-Men 5, and it shows the code/div for the missing variant FORM, but I don't see the link to it above that space (nothing for it below 'Issue 4' and 'variants/reprints'), or anywhere else, and I did a 'find' search for 'report' and 'variant' too, and do not see the code for the little flag and 'report missing variant.' The cursor finds no link in that area either, so not 'invisible but working' like the Attach image link on the forums posts. That's all I can tell you.

And vesteel, you can list all the variants in 1 post y'know, tho it may be more tricky smile

I am on a mac using firefox.

I'll check my windows version later today. I can tell you that, more than likely, posting these here is not going to get anything done any sooner than waiting for them to fix these problems so the "official" way can be used. smile

So that means it could be either because I'm a gold member, or an admin. But, on the "normal" comicspriceguide.com that admin thing shouldn't matter.

I've pinged Ron about this thread specifically, but also the general problems you guys are seeing.

When the site was separated into a customer site and an administrative site there was a small change. Free members were no longer given the ability to add variants for approval. That was an accidental change so today it will go back to any member being able to add a new variant.

Please do not submit variants to the forums. We are trying to be more efficient with our systems. I understand why you did this while there was a problem, Vesteel.

Thanks for your help,
Ron

Thank you Ron and staff for fixing the variant issue problem. I now see the 'Report Missing Variant' link.

Ron, should I input the variants I listed into the various issues or is that already being taken care of?

the Report Missing Variant button even works for me, yay. I'd say go ahead and use that to submit yours now, as they haven't been added and it'll probably go quicker getting them in line.
