I also have 100 unopened 1994/5 Marvel comics sealed in the mailing bags. I am wondering if I should send these out for grading or ? Any advise out there? I would advise caution in sending comics for grading. On regular monthly comics from this era - publisher made too many issues. A regular print run today is 30,000 to 40,000. In 1994 publisher were priming 100,000 - 150,000 on a regular basis. Most are worth very little - I would be careful in picking which ones to grade with so many issues available from this era. KDS
9/2/2018 Topic: Spider-Girl 1/2 Wizard Hologram - Question kds_comics	I have been collecting for a long and this one has me confused. I have Spider-Girl 1/2 with the Wizard certificate. - okay so far. Looking at the book inside the original bag - It has a hologram on lower right side of the cover that says "WIZARD" I take the comics out of the bag - the hologram is on the bag, not on the comic. What the? Is this the copy with the hologram or was there a copy where the hologram was printed on the comic itself? Thanks KDS

I was a diligent Wizard #1/2 collector, I sent in every chance I got. Thanks for clearing this up - I am going to update my CPG Spider-Girl 1/2 picture with the bag and cert here https://comicspriceguide.com/sales/kdscomics/spider-girl/0.5A/phyyhtx Does this work for everyone? I really like the new wrap-around cover pictures - why not cover with hologram bag and cert? Thanks What do you think? KDS
9/4/2018 Topic: ALL-NEW, ALL-DIFFERENT UNIVERSE #1 kds_comics	Your link to the picture is not working for me. This one? The 2015 version of all-new, all -different ??? (There have been way too many of these and there are never in the official title). https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/54781/all-new_all-different_marvel_universe_2015_1 ? I did not find in database - suggest you put in a post for issues to be added - add indica information. KDS
9/4/2018 Topic: Amazing Spider-Girl #19 Error Variant? kds_comics	jarhead_84 wrote: Glad to see its finally been added, Thank you. Anybody know how to get ahold of the correct copy? Nothing on EBAY anywhere, yet I have seen 53 collected on CPG. Curious as to where they got there copies. You have to remember that this was not a popular issue. At the time of printing they made 18,000 issues and it was ranked #130th in number of comics sold for the month. Could not crack the top 100 for the month. http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales/2007/2007-08.html The guide still has it for the same price it sold for in 2007 - despite being a misprint - it has only cover price value.
9/4/2018 Topic: Spider-Girl 1/2 Wizard Hologram - Question kds_comics	This site is the only one that I know of that makes the "Hologram" distinction. The hologram on the bag came on every #1/2 book you sent for (I have a pile of around 50 of them) Like I said, I've never seen a book with the "wizard" printed directly on the book itself. I could be wrong ( I doubt it ) but I think the two listings are the same, one with the bag and one without.That would be wrong, having the bag does not make it worth $10 more. The bags are inter-changeable. I wish the picture showing the "hologram" was less cropped so you could tell if it was in a bag or not. I have Wizard's Lady Death 1/2 and Wizard's Avengelyene 1/2 - neither have a hologram on the bag. Darkchylde 1/2 - one issue came with certificate, and another came with holo logo and certificate (holo on the bag or the book?) We need a new thread just to catalogue this craziness!!! A good partial list is here. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?SeriesID=13720361 The Darkchylde uissues are correctly catalogues at CPG here https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/darkchylde/uiyt Hope this add to the complete and total confusion...

9/6/2018 Topic: Uploading Missing Scans kds_comics	Perhaps I can assist - Just uploaded a few cover scans yesterday go to comic page https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/classics-illustrated-106--buffalo-bill/8/pcwvkq The default comes up the the "Value" tab for the comic. Click the "Details" tab On the Details tab you should be able to upload cover scans, artists, writers and story summary. In defense of the admins - they have to protect themselves from spammers, hackers, etc who can hide malicious code in text or prictures. Also - obliviously - CPG needs to protect against what the British call "naughty bits" Then they can verify the cover is correct. Yeesh, what a process. KDS
9/7/2018 Topic: Flash Gordon The Movie Whitman Variants 3-pk bag kds_comics	pukie2122 wrote: Thank you. And noted spell correction. I saw the individual issues listed. I did not see a value for the sealed 3-pk bag. There were tens of thousands of Whitman comics sold in three packs back in the day (late 1980's through early 2000's) .I picked up some containing Ripley's Believe it or Not. The bag has no value and the three pack set has no value.(This is the exception to the rule of keeping the original packaging). In fact - it is a detrimental because the bag seals in the out-gassing - fading the interior pages. Respectfully suggest you need to get out of the bag and put in a correct bag and board. The sooner it is out the the 3-pack bag the better the condition will be. It will only get worse if left in there!!! KDS

9/7/2018 Topic: Amazing Spider-Man: R Y V #3C - Market Insanity! kds_comics	Note to Admins Several weeks ago (July 2018) the big boys on eBay were driving down prices to obtain volume. ($10 each) The price on this one appears to have come back to $20 (61 sold at that price?) Check it! https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-SPIDERMAN-RENEW-YOUR-VOWS-3-VENOMIZED-MARY-JANE-COMICXPOSURE-B-W-VARIANT/201369814662 Also #3D seems to be at $25 and #3E seems to be at $20 (not including shipping) I hope you have hired more staff - just to keep up with the variant market!!! It is insane! JIMHO Thanks. KDS

9/9/2018 Topic: WHAT'S HOT, WHAT'S NOT kds_comics	rixmaxx wrote: Carnage: Mind Bomb $100+ NM and Rune vs. Venom #1 (first Venom with wings) $30+ NM are both crazy HOT right now! .............. Both Donny Cates connected (better adjust the prices! ) Agree on the Carnage Mind Bomb comics - would like to know why. Also wish I would have put away a couple hundred twenty years ago - naeh, that comic was a "throw away - give it away" at the time. Also Batman #871 - first Scott Snyder - blowing up on eBay and here at CPG - mini-BOMB!!! I fail to why - Snyder did lots of comics - is this now a movie script basis or something??
