well ya learn new variations to search all the time. never thought of using INC, and that's just crazy that the indicia has it that way but the cover says Incorporated, which is what everybody calls it. makes no sense, so thanks DC. but CPG should cross index it so it shows with the other Incorporated titles. so calling ronbatman or gilgandra to the rescue.. |

Incredible Hulk - Variant clarification
collectibleshop

the main reason there's no 'variant' details is because there's no 'variant'. The 1B issue is a second print, and it will say so inside. 2nd prints are not variants. The barcode Spidey vs UPC code is just direct market vs newsstand differences, and not usually noted as a variant in most guides, as that's just too common a thing. It's a newsstand EDITION, not a variant in the normal sense.
and hey CPG Ron or gilgandra, the 1st print pic is horrible and way off color, so here's a link to a better pic to replace it (it's big tho, but comics.org didn't have a decent one):

It's faster if you find a better pic and submit it yourself. go to this page, https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/magic-order-the/1/pkruopt , click on the Variants tab, go to the bottom right corner and click on Report Missing Variant, and fill in the info boxes and upload the pic from your computer/phone, and they'll get to it when they get to it.
I'm sure Image or some site has a nice square pic you can save to your desktop or phone, and if you can't get that to work you can post a link on here to the better pic. I ain't got time fo' dat tonight now, spent too much time here already. |

MISSING LIBERTY COMICS BY CENTAUR 1941

true, but there is no 'Liberty Comics' by that title from Centaur near as I can find out. There's Liberty Scouts from 1941, and Liberty Guards after that. comics.org list of Centaur publications also shows no 'Liberty Comics'. https://www.comics.org/publisher/58/
But, CPG has nothing for Liberty Scouts or Guards either and I even searched just 'Liberty>starts with' too. https://www.comics.org/series/217/ for Scouts, https://www.comics.org/series/18060/ for Guards.
so technically you're correct, but in the future please give more details. Like a link to a pic and the specific title(s).
so more work for the boys.... |

Missing DC COMICS ESSENTIALS-BATMAN: DEATH OF THE
collectibleshop

well, looks like ALL the cool kids that have it list it as DC Comics Essentials Batman Death of the Family-- DC Comics own site, Previews solicitation, mycomicshop, amazon, midtown, comicbookrealm, dcfandom, comics.org, comicvine, comicbookdb, etc. etc. And it seems natural, regardless of what the indicia might say, that it's part of the DC Comic Essentials line like it has on the cover in big bold letters, so I'd say the votes are in to list it with the rest of those. Only makes sense, cuz that's how people are going to search for it.
Previews order page for it: https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/FEB160221
That plus DC's own site calling it that tells me that's how it should be listed. From the CPG listings for that Essentials title, they're all #1s too, and the whole title makes it clear what it's about, so I don't see what the problem would be calling it that.

No price on cover, what does it mean?

it means they're not from 1963. they're modern reprints, sometimes sent out with newspapers or other promotions. Search for Amazing Spider-Man on CPG and keep scrolling down the big list and see if any of the Giveaways match yours. Also check the list for just #1, it has a number of reprints, both freebies and not:
https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/amazing-spider-man-the/siww
then you can check the other issue numbers by themselves too.

GIANT-SIZE SPIDER-MAN 1974 NOT IN THE DATA BASE
collectibleshop

this one? https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/giant-size-super-heroes/1/tcpy
using the right title to search helps. it's called Giant-Size Super-Heroes #1. the STORY is "featuring Spider-Man", but Spider-Man is not part of the title. Always try fewer keywords before posting. Using just Giant Size comes up with it well down the list. This book is commonly asked about as people don't use the correct title. Same with Giant-Size Super-Stars with the Fantastic Four.
And note to CPG guide programmers--the book does NOT come up when you use 'Giant Size' without the hyphen, plus 'starts with'--are you kiddin' me? All the Giant Sizes, hyphenated or not, seem to come up when you use 'all words' and no hyphen tho, but they should with 'starts with' too. Same with Spider Man and Spider-Man and no doubt many others. SOME come up using either way, but many don't. Would rather get more matches to go thru if it recognized both ways on either spelling the first time, vs not finding something because you can't believe you need to use a hyphen to get the right/all titles, and having to do multiple searches. Can't believe this hasn't been addressed years ago.
and please cross index Giant-Size Spider-Man and The Punisher #4, 1975, so it shows in the results for Giant-Size too. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/amazing-spider-man-the/4_giant%20size/popwo . Overstreet used to list it under the Giant-Size titles, and that's what it says on the cover, not "AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, THE #4 Giant Size", and comics.org and mycomicshop and most places call it Giant-Size Spider-Man #4 cuz it's #4 in the SERIES of 6 Giant Size Spider-Mans. Don't care what the indicia calls it, common sense says to cross-index it so it matches the technical indicia title and the cover title that everyone uses to look for it. Right? saves the newbies from having to post again and again about it. Thanks.

title wrong for Inhumans: the untold Saga

Without being able to see what it says in the indicia, I'd say after 29 years it's listed correctly. comics.org also has it as Inhumans Special, as does the Marvel Wiki. 'King-Size' could be added I suppose, but the cover states it's a 'Special' for the Inhumans first, which is how most people will search for it. 'Untold Saga' is an add-on for info's sake, but not part of the official title. The Marvel Wiki says the story title is "Remembrances of Revolutions Past" , so Untold Saga isn't the actual story name like I thought. Ronbatman or gilgandra can confirm this if they drop by.

you can submit these yourself, it helps speed things up. on the page for the 2019 #1 series ( https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/conan-the-barbarian/1/pktplyq ), click the Variants tab, and at the bottom you'll see a red button that says 'Report Missing Variant'. click that and when the form page comes up, fill in as much info as you can, and the link to the pics, or upload them if they're on your computer or phone, and they'll get to it faster. You have to be logged in to do that stuff of course. |

Off Girl missing

my guess is that it's not listed after 4 years because it's one of those online only comics that only sell via download or via print copies directly from the publisher, hence not available in Diamond Previews for comic shops, and that makes things difficult for CPG to keep up with. Seem to be more and more of these, and I don't know how CPG handles them, but must be a pain to keep up with these kinds of comics. |

Double cover Batman 46

Google is your friend  . CGC will grade both covers and note that on the label. The interior cover along with the rest of the insides will determine the overall grade, so there's no point in taking the outer 'protective' cover off. It's highly recommended on especially older comics like yours to NOT remove the staples to take off the outer cover, as yes, they CAN tell if staples have been re-bent if you don't do a great job, and you risk damaging the pages or better cover. Not worth the risk. And there are 'plenty' of collectors of double cover comics, especially old ones with big names like Batman.
I'd get it graded, as the interior cover is much nicer (and upside down in your pic). Good luck!

Grading a William Woolfolk owned Batman 57

go to CGC's or CBCS's website and email them the pic. my guess is that it would get a low grade due to detached covers, assuming the covers are fully detached like it looks. whether they recognize it as a pedigree or not (unless they have already?) may make little difference in value unless someone is a die-hard Woolfolk fan. it would have been better to leave it bound, based on forum threads on the cgc boards, but too late now. do a search for 'bound volume' and cgc, and read the various forum threads from that, or join the boards and do searches there if you want.

Double cover Batman 46

pressing can be risky on old comics, but the presser can determine if it will survive without popping a staple or tearing the spine.
Pressing will not fix the tear at the top, or remove the white stress marks, or change the stain, but it may improve what appears to be some kinks associated with the stress marks, but I don't think that would change the grade on the outer cover. the inner cover appears to have kinks/bends near the guard tower like on the outer cover, so those can likely be pressed out well, which would really help the inner cover grade, which is what the overall grade will be based on. You can send it in for pressing and just ask them for an opinion before you agree to have it pressed. You could also go whole hog and have it restored, but probably also not worth the expense for this value, and then you get a restored label which hurts the market value quite a bit usually.
CPG prices an 8.0 to 9.4 of this at $800-$1600, so you do not want to take the chance of removing/replacing staples and tearing anything else. There are people who want just covers for coverless issues, but if you tear the cover off, then it makes it hard to attach it to another comic without some paper restoration etc.. Just leave it as is, send it for a pressing opinion, and get it graded.

Values:

from the hard to find FAQs in the upper right corner under About:
What is the difference between 9.4 value and 9.4 graded?
A professionally graded book from CGC, CBCS, or another reputable comic grading service has been professionally scrutinized over by quite industry experts. This book then has been carefully put in a protective container that will allow it to keep its grade for many decades to come. For years, the market has determined that people will pay more for this guarantee of condition and therefore any graded book will be worth more to a potential buyer. The graded values that are in the database do not reflect the cost of getting the book graded.
