9/11/2025 Topic: Invincible Blind Variants Michael	Thats messy. Best way to organize it (in my opinion) is to have "Team-Up" and "Invincible" listed as variants under same title and issue number as they are exactly that, a variant of each specific issue. I think the problem still stands as the blind bag is listed as a variant. If it was a variant you would be able to price it. You can not price it without opening it to check comic's condition. Most of all it could not be graded as it would be removed from the bag (I should not have to explain this) ceasing to be the blind bag and then existing as the comic it contained. Thanks for answer collectibleshop.
9/12/2025 Topic: Invincible Blind Variants Michael	I'll add this to my "battles" but ya I can get my issues in the system now.
9/21/2025 Topic: Bat Volume? Michael	Is the newly released "Batman" https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman/pisxcs missing the volume number? Is it volume 5?
9/21/2025 Topic: Battle Beast Issues II: Double Double Michael	There are still two entries for same publication.
9/29/2025 Topic: RAW vs GRADED for Estate Valuation? Michael	The Guide's FAQ states "We average prices from sales and auctions online and around the world, and we factor in valuations from experts in different fields of the industry." With the comic in your possession it sounds high value so the price (unless one of a kind) would have been determined from actual purchases and verified by experts. These prices can change with many factors such as popularity of character or various reasons tied to artist or writer. People who own the comic like to see it at a high price and those who want it like to see a low number. With that in mind the prices check and balance themselves, keeping in mind its worth only what someone will pay. Comics that are highly sought after usually have well know established prices (consider yearly inflation and my above statement on changing factors) that are known among serious collectors. These collectors keep a close eye on the "gems" so someone claiming too low or high a price would be easily noticed by top collectors. You may want to have this comic graded. Shop around for grading companies and compare their prices. If self grading bring it to a local comic shop, I am sure they would love to see this in person. This is all just my opinion as an average collector, though I do have over forty years of comic collecting experience. I am not admin just someone who likes to see questions answered
9/30/2025 Topic: Bat title Michael	Being picky I need to point out that the Batman comic; https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-day-2025---year-two/pirqnx should read as, "BATMAN YEAR TWO 1 BATMAN DAY SPECIAL EDITION." per indicia. Indicia had it all in caps so I copied as such, not indicating a strong point or anger.
9/30/2025 Topic: Another Bat Title Michael	The title for the Batman comic listed at; https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/batman-day-2025---gotham-sampler/pirqop should read as "BATMAN: GOTHAM SAMPLER 1 BATMAN DAY SPECIAL EDITION." per indicia.
10/2/2025 Topic: Entry Doubled Michael	I put in a couple variants for the new Deadpool/Batman https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marveldc-deadpoolbatman/1/piyyjpx and for some reason it doubled. It looks like I put in four entries. Possible glitch to be aware of?? I tried to delete extra two but they still show on my end. One entry was for Capuccio cover the second for the virgin version. Thanks
10/19/2025 Topic: Best cases to use to display your comic in Michael	I bought these on eb@y from seller "Valley Plastics MFG" for $57.00 each. Solid material and secure to the wall well. Displays are showing some reflection in these pics but in person honestly see no glare, covers really pop out. Easy to switch frames around if you have multiple displays as they slide off and on the mount attached to wall. The only down side is you have 9 screws each time you want to add or remove comics.
11/18/2025 Topic: Comics Posted Being Seen? Michael	As a buyer, I tried two different sellers with no response. I assumed the accounts were no longer active or part time sellers who didnt check site often,
11/24/2025 Topic: Batman's Colons Michael	I guess it would be Batman's and DeadPool's colons (add DeadPool colonoscopy joke here) and their slashes are missing in the title for; https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/dc-marvel-batman-deadpool/pitucq Thanks
11/24/2025 Topic: Thor Cover Pic Michael	I noticed The Guide's cover pic for "Thor" Vol 1 1C Foil cover; https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/thor/1C/piywowt is slightly different than mine. On mine the title is centered and overlaying the top of Thor's helmet. In pic its to the right. Is this an incorrect pic or are there variations?
11/24/2025 Topic: Thor Cover Pic Michael	No scanner. Also seems recently they have been more stringent of pics. I have had multiple pics denied, which when I see the pre-production many times on here erks me a little. To admin Id have to say as a site user; "I would much rather have a so-so pic of a comic than a production pic, which sometimes make me wonder if I have a different variant. Id also take a bad pic over no pic at all, which makes me wonder if I have the right issue when no pic is shown." Please be a little more accepting. Possibly use pics and ear mark ones that are below par and come back to them when a better pic can be found." The guide can do better on pics and if they accepted even decent pics over scans Id be happier. For the record, I am being a little picky and do like this site. Back to being picky, though, I dont think scanning should be a must. Look at these examples of "Absolute Batman," you cant even tell whats on the cover. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/absolute-batman/1-3rd-C/piwwotr https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/absolute-batman/1-4th-D/piwyovw
11/25/2025 Topic: X-Men by the numbers Michael	I noticed the series "X-Men" Vol 6 has issue #2 listed before #1. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men/pkyrmu Is it just my page or a glitch? I did refresh then reload and it stayed that way.

I ll do that next time. Thanks
11/25/2025 Topic: X-Men by the numbers Michael	I did check the dates and #2 is October2021 and #1 is Sept2021, just kinda checkn if it was just me.
11/28/2025 Topic: Thor Cover Pic Michael	pittlw wrote: I've found a somewhat favorable way to do a scan of a foil cover, and get some of the detail and see the picture. Before saving the scan, adjust the brightness and maybe the contrast until you get the best picture you can get, then save it. An example of one I did for a Poison Ivy #27 https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/poison-ivy/27-616CT-C/piyqnuw That looks decent. You can see everything and it still has color. My prob is I dont have a scanner.
11/28/2025 Topic: 3D Issues Michael	Either I cant find "DeadPool" #1 3D or "Marvel Zombies" #1 3D in the database or theyre not in here. Lil help, yes?
11/30/2025 Topic: 3D Issues Michael	I have in "missing issue" requests for both "Marvel Zombies" #1 and "DeadPool" #1 3D versions. It was just "DeadPool" that I have not "Circle Chase." It looks like they do have a 3D version of that and a few others if anyone wants to put in the data work. I dont have the time and dont like putting info in for comics I dont have. It helps to have the book for the indicia. Each of the 3Ds I put in had different indicia. One had "Pan-Universal" the other "Pan-Galactic." Any hoo there we go and hope to a swift approval.
12/21/2025 Topic: That Jerk's Stuff Michael	Looking at your original post and some of the later ones I gotta say thanks for showing some really cool covers other than the typical ones you always see.
