All the listed values for books in "My Comic Boxes" are values for 9.4 books, not my graded values. Makes it very hard to sort books by value. Wave Thanks!



Confirm. Prices are not prices for my specific comics and are instead the displayed 9.4 value. Can an admin check please? Thanks

starting at #133 up there are several of the flip covers still listed as a variant cover and need the newsstand editions added

also can not add the upcs for this titles issues barcoding for direct starts at #131



If you scan in and add as a variant I am sure you will save the admins a lot of time and get this added quicker. Your choice.

Now there is another issue. When I select a box and it opens up, only one to five comics show up.

The web browser shows as loading but nothing is actually loading.


Could you fine folks please look at this box wackiness again?

Thanks

Thanks - it might have been a Windows update - Microsoft has pushed at least two updates in last couple of days. The first one did some wonky thinks to the computer. Thanks for checking and fixing.

If you go to the main menu then select “price guide” and arrow down the menu to “creators”.
You type in and/or select creator CPG will list every comic by that creator.

Yes you would think you could just “list all” and then have a function to select that creator’s work in your inventory.
Alas this is a manual process.

Automating would be nice but not yet implemented.

Hey all - Is it just me or do you folks have the same problem.

I can never fined the thumbs up / thumbs down rating when I buy or sell.
Really need to be able to use this after a sale is completed and comic moved out of limbo box.


Perhaps a video of this feature would be useful.


Thanks

The Department of Truth #6

I picked up Department of Truth #6.

I am counting only 14 pages in the book instead of the typical 16 pages in a comic
(16 pages counting one physical page printed front and back)


Anyone know if this is correct? Is image cost cutting or am I missing a center page?
Any not I cannot tell - especially with these plastic pages - they tear away freely.


Thanks

It appears that in Batgirl #35 D (Vol 4) from 2011 series = when you click on the individual issue you get the picture from the NYCC Edition #35-NYCC

Looks okay in the list but when you select the issue the NYCC picture appears. Thanks KDS

Try adding a comic series "run" Instructions are in the help videos. Most story arcs are a run within a single series.

A family member recently passed away and I ended up with about 1000 comics from 1990 to 1997. My question is would it be wise to have them all graded or not.by the way I do not collect comics nor do I know anything about them. Any info would be greatly appreciated



As mentioned here you have to go through every book one at a time for value. This is due to first appearances of characters or writers/artists on books.
Most 1990s comics are minimal value as you can find using CPG.


I am suggesting a rule of thumb is if a comics has a raw value of less than $50 do not waste time and money getting it graded. If it is $50 or more do your homework on what the final value will be when graded. How much value the grading adds varies from comic to comic. Depends how many of that comic are graded, etc.


Example (an exception to the rule above) is that Deadpool: The Circle Chase #1 raw is worth about $30 to $35 in top condition. If graded 9.6 it goes for $80 to $90. This is unusual that it goes for more than twice what it is worth when graded. Still it will cost you $30 to $40 to get graded depending on number of comics in order, shipping costs in two directions and if you get it pressed or not.


As mentioned here - you have to go through one at a time, look up. If you have a friend who has experience in collectables of any kind suggest you get some help from them. I wish you well. KDS

Hi there-

Kind of a random question, but I'm wondering if the website will allow two different people to be logged into the same account and adding to the collection at the same time? The reason is because my uncle just passed away and we are trying to input his entire VERY extensive comic book collection. Thankfully he had them all written down and organized in a binder (one for Marvel and one for DC). but to give you an idea of the extent of this collection we have to input, I have been working on this for hours and have input nearly 1,200 so far and I'm only through "Daredevil" in the Marvel binder. And to answer your questions: yes, they are all well maintained, in sealed plastic, and well organized in about 22 boxes. I know not all of them are in mint condition, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Right now we're just trying to digitally catalog everything and I'm beginning to realize it's too much for one person to handle.



I believe I can log in from two different devices into one account if that is what you ware asking.
