You can click where the image is supposed to be and it will preview. You can also click on the item and the image should load. It's sporadic for me too.

Tarn,
I agree with you about Newsstand issues being rarer in higher grades. The interesting thing about Newsstand vs. Direct pricing is that most of the time the prices are the same. When you look at a key issue, the newsstand issue is usually higher. Regular issues have very similar pricing.

Here at Comics Price Guide, we avoided adding all the newsstand issues because the work involved is staggering. We literally had to hire someone to enter UPC codes and newsstand/direct issues. That is his entire job. CGC might be waiting for someone like us to do the work of locating the issues before moving forward. They will have to do something about it soon.

I I send a picture and info about a specific key issue's newsstand edition, that is not listed, what turnaround should I expect?




I've sent in submissions and some have been waiting for months and still not showing yet.

I can tell you I submitted stuff months ago and still am waiting. I know they probably get thousands of requests so I do understand it can take time.

There is a place on the site that has misses, hits, and pending issues. Currently, it's a little tough to find but it exists.

The way to find it is to click on your user name in the upper right corner.
In the drop-down that appears click on the number in the bottom left corner.
It will take you to this page

We are currently working on a way to make this page more accessible. There seems to be an issue with the code for the "pending" issues. Our programmer is working on that right now. I'll let you know when he is finished.

Ron



Ron,
I see it but it only seems to show data for adding/fixing creator info. I have never seen a pending for a missing variant or missing title. Should that same section be reflecting that also?

I think Ebay has started taking $ from shipping and those sellers wanting to continue to offer "free shipping" build the cost into the book. I've seen this practice done over the 20+ years I've been in that marketplace.

I keep buying the latest issues because I have a feeling they will revert back to the original numbering system as they approach #1000.

If they stop and restart again, that may drive me out of new comics but there are still so many golden age books I need.

I will make you a friendly bet that they revert back as they approach 1000. I think they are only at about 860 right now so it will still be a few years.

Boy those Golden Age Batmans are getting so expensive. I haven't bought one for a year because a low grade will cost me a grand by the time I pay shipping, import, and exchange to Canada.

Here's one I have my eye on but I can't afford a big buy right now. It'll probably end up around $400 US.

For those Batman aficionados, Torpedo Comics us releasing a box set of 28 alternative covers. Issues can be purchased separately but the best value comes from that set. Nice combination of artists. Also for sale on THAT one auction site.
