Are the "Battle Beast" blind bag variants such as "Marvel Team Up" #14 and "Invincible" #19 missing? Should they be under variants for each title or will these be listed as variants for the blind bag?

yeah, it's a bit squirrely how they list these. These two are actually not listed as variants tho and CPG has 'figured' the values at about $20 for 9.4, assume based on auction and other sales. But for your OWN collection listing, of course you'd have to open it to check condition to assign a value, but that's up to you. Generally, MOST collectors have abandoned the 'it's worth more in a sealed bag' notion over the years, that's a marketing gimmick, and conservation experts advise bagged comics to be removed from the bags too. If sent in to be pro-graded, they're gonna open the bags too (and not send them back), and people will pay whatever they think the grade is worth. Since you know what comic is supposed to be in the bags eventually, and as long as they are a BB variant only, then no harm in opening it (and keeping the bag somewhere), in my opinion, but that's up to each collector. I haven't gone to see what the bag looks like, so dunno what it states about issue number or other text on it, but if these comics only come in the blind bags, then once everyone knows what it is, then no real point in keeping it bagged except for 'purists', cuz if you see a raw one for sale you know it was a blind bag edition.
I agree they should be listed as variants under whatever Invincible series they correspond with too, so maybe CPG will do that if they read this thread. you can contact ronbatman if you want a more direct pleading, but he's very busy at the moment from what I've been told. but at least now you can catalog them.
