12/27/2023 Topic: Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2 Iss 1 Variants collectibleshop	read the top post in this thread: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=18278 then read how to submit variants: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12640 and for info when you have your own pics to submit, here's the guidelines for pics, from 2015: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5 "Covers must be: 1. Cropped properly. No background showing. 2. No digital camera pictures. 3. No covers with URL, company watermarks or logos.--except there's been companies/stores printing their name and sometimes URL on their exclusive covers for a while now, so those are allowed. 4. No covers with scanline patterns will be accepted. 5. No covers scans with the comic still in the bag and board. 6. No grainy or blurry scans. 7. Adult covers with nudity must be edited with black boxes. The only exception to the above rules are Golden Age covers." And Ronbatman from 2022 said: 1. Type - .jpg .png and .gif 2. Size - 5MB max limit 3. Dimensions - Less than 1.2k also be sure that they're production pics and not pre-production ones like many in Previews or on previewsworld.com. and a decent size is like 400x600px or 500x700 give or take, don't need HUGE ones like some people submit. Good site to get ready-to-go pics of back issues is https://comics.org . they're usually behind on getting brand new issues up and don't get a lot of the retailer incentives either, so that's what search engines are for. then have fun submitting the variants, and be patient, they're always swamped. edited by collectibleshop on 12/27/2023

12/28/2023 Topic: Superman Adventures #1 - Incorrect Cover Price collectibleshop	I can confirm that. and the 1C is marked as $2.95, but it's a free preview, according to comics.org and other sources. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman-adventures/1C/sbqxhu
12/29/2023 Topic: Missing Golden Age Series collectibleshop	and by continuation from Liberty Scouts Comics name change after #3 due to a lawsuit, they're missing Liberty Guards Comics #NN, according to GCD too. "the comic is a rebinding/reprinting of Man of War Comics #1 with the cover art of Liberty Scouts Comics #3 with a new "Liberty Guards" title banner." https://www.comics.org/series/18060/ so nothing new about Liberty Guards other than the title change apparently. It's not under Man Of War Comics as a reprint or variant notation, which I thought it might be. Fun with old stuff... edited by collectibleshop on 12/29/2023
12/30/2023 Topic: Guidelines for Uploading Cover Scans to CPG collectibleshop	if you're trying to upload your own pic to your own boxes, that's only for paying members, not for bronze. so that's the reason it works now.
12/30/2023 Topic: Guidelines for Uploading Cover Scans to CPG collectibleshop	maswaim wrote: Hi, I am new to CPG and was trying to upload a scan of a comic book but it keeps saying it failed to upload. I read all the instructions about it here but it won't take the scanned image, a jpg that has been cropped to remove background and is only between 250k to 500kb in size depending on the scan attempted. I hope this is just a glitch in the system. I am just on the bronze plan but I understand anyone can upload an image? Thank you for any help. Update: the scanned image uploaded fine to this forum however. I was trying to upload it to a box in my collection before which still doesn't work as of today. edited by maswaim on 4/12/2023 guess no one answered this unless by private message. only paying members can upload their own pics to their boxes.
1/1/2024 Topic: Creepshow Holiday Special collectibleshop	always helpful to attach pics or links to them. comics.org is a good site for that, bookmark it, although they may be slow in adding new issues, but they did have these 3. attached them below. Cover B is by Jorge Corona, Cover C is by Jonathan Wayshak. Writer Daniel Cross. Main Artist is Jonathan Wayshak, not sure about the other 2, and comics.org hasn't listed credits yet. Published Dec 2023. edited by collectibleshop on 1/1/2024
1/1/2024 Topic: Redneck # 31Incorrect Cover Photo collectibleshop	Hi, couple things that help---paste a link to the CPG listing, and try to attach a pic or put a link to one. comics.org didn't have it either, but I got one from elsewhere and attached it below. this is the issue page: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/redneck/31/phtsnqt
1/4/2024 Topic: What does incorrect input string mean? collectibleshop	this has been asked a few times by 54lisa05, and never answered by CPG that I see (I have tried tho). could be multiple reasons. one 'usual' reason can be that the pic file name has a blank space in it, or some special character that CPG software doesn't allow or recognize. can you attach the image to your post that you're trying to upload? maybe someone can figure it out from that.
1/4/2024 Topic: Norlen comics wrong ages collectibleshop	these titles are 1959 but have the wrong ages noted, both say Modern: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/all-top-comics/tmsrn https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/wotalife-comics/tmsro
1/6/2024 Topic: better pics, corrections collectibleshop	whilst doing verifications I found: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/witchblade/151C/ynrtiq has a signed copy pic, so attached an unsigned one. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/grimjack/uosx #40-53 have awful, blurry pics, so if someone wants to upgrade them, https://www.comics.org/series/2956/covers/?page=2 is page 2 for those. Xvipah73 needs more work https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/defenders-the-best-defense/1-RI-C/pkuxbpy has Sal Buscema's last name misspelled in sub-title. edited by collectibleshop on 1/6/2024
1/6/2024 Topic: better pics, corrections collectibleshop	wow, mr. speedy! thanks.
1/7/2024 Topic: Comic book grade question, markings on back collectibleshop	that many pen marks would drop it to a VG. no writing allowed on fines and up. you'd need a professional to get those removed, which would get you a 'restored' label if you got it pro-graded, and unless it's ASM #300, that's probably not worth it. sorry that happened.
1/8/2024 Topic: S.O.S.: Support Our Shops (Aftershock) collectibleshop	for future reference, linking to 'the realm' is forbidden here, cuz they're competition, among other reasons. and when you have multiple missing issues, please put them in 1 post instead of singly, there's plenty of room, and it saves forum space and reading time. thanks.
1/9/2024 Topic: Charlton errors, corrections, pics collectibleshop	so after 3 days of long sessions and adding hundreds of prices (I think I did all that I could, may have missed a title or two), and some pics to the Charlton titles, here's stuff I found that needs correcting: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/outlaws-of-the-west/pkpqnt are 1977-78 and marked Modern age instead of Bronze. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/phantom-the/47/pkrwkx has $20 cover price instead of .20. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/phantom-the/47/pkrwkx has $6.00 cover but it's 6 pence. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/150-new-cartoons/64/wlssou is .60 cover, not .40. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/150-new-cartoons/65/wlssot is .60 cover, not .40. unnoted pence copies: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/popeye/124/pkusly , 125, 126. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/blondie-comics/207/pkupov , 208, 209, 211 https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/secrets-of-young-brides/6/uhvsoy , and #7. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/six-gun-heroes/65/pivyov https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/sweethearts/60/wcpqh https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/sweethearts/71/vhxxn https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/sweetheart-diary/57/rovsnx https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/wyatt-earp-frontier-marshal/38/tbuyk new pics: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/tex-ritter-western/29/uirslp has a bad pic, missing details, attached better one. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/sarge-steel/7/pmqqlt has a .10 price sticker over the. .12 cover price, so attached a pic without the sticker. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/texas-rangers-in-action/7/pksult is by L. Miller and Son, not charlton. attached pic of correct #7. cover price is .10. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/robin-hood-and-his-merry-men/30/slythv bad cover pic, attached better one. so yup away folks, there's a few hundred more in cover prices now, and thanks to those who yupped the last 2 days. I like big YUPS and I can not lie... edited by collectibleshop on 1/9/2024
1/9/2024 Topic: Uncanny Spider-Man #5-RI-B Cover collectibleshop	posted twice, so you can remove one. and you can submit missing variants thru the system, which is the preferred way. see Ronbatman's post here: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=18278 and here: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15232
1/10/2024 Topic: Charlton errors, corrections, pics collectibleshop	Ronbatman wrote: 3 days of Charlton! Impressive. I've worked on everything that needed work. Some of the unnoted Pence copies weren't Pence-specific. Charlton moved the price into their logo during that stretch. Popeye, Blondie and Secrets didn't need to be adjusted Ron edited by ronbatman on 1/10/2024 yeah, I missed seeing the US price in the Charlton circle logo on those 3, got 'price blind' by seeing other pence copies.
1/10/2024 Topic: DareDevil variant? collectibleshop	Casper0312 wrote: ...Of note, it looks to me like the Direct version (spidey head) has been in the database since 2003. The Newstand (UPC code) looks like it was added Feb 28, 2023. I'm not sure why you might not have seen it, but good data point I have tracked. Please let us know if you have further issues, -David uh, the OP didn't see the newsstand version cuz that post was from 2018. Got no idea why Sneakerface posted what he did that bumped the old OP's post up.
1/10/2024 Topic: Red 5 Haunted Missing collectibleshop	it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/haunted/wbpsc Red 5 is a Canadian publisher, so you have to choose Canada in the Country menu or All Countries.
1/12/2024 Topic: Red 5 Haunted Missing collectibleshop	yeah, looks like they missed putting it in the publishers list, so hopefully an admin will do that now. edited by collectibleshop on 1/12/2024
