Come on man, you know that our team works hard to give correct information and pricing to the community. Deadpool and Carnage #1 is priced per the market. For better or worse, that's the current average price for each of those variants. We don't make the market, we just report it.

Very few people can answer that sort of question. I researched this and found the issue. Tested it on your account and my account and it's working fine now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Newsstand vs Direct editions are usually similarly priced. There are notable exceptions as the newsstand issues became more and more scarce. Newsstand were also treated more harshly than direct edition books. As Solarno stated we are moving to add them into the system but the numbers are staggering.

Paper Girls #1 is selling like crazy based on my research. Captain Marvel #8 is the other big mover

Taskmaster, we gladly accept suggestions from members about books that are undervalued or overvalued. I'll look into the two books you mentioned.

Ben, Thanks for the kind words. We as a group, employees, admins and members are trying to be as accurate as possible. This site is a massive beast of information that requires constant attention.

Self Publishing books are difficult because the lack of information and sales data. We will put it in the system if you provide the information that we need to list it. (scan, date, etc)

That's a great book to own with the movie coming out in 2021. I looked at some of the previous pricing for that book and it's gone insane in the last 2 years. It's all good for you Crowman

I added Notti & Nyce Menage a Trois which is the third series from 2016 to current. Just look up that title and submit any missing issues or variants.

In our constant pursuit to improve the site and grow our data, we've added a new field, characters. Everything will be linked together so you can dig down into the data. When finished you can look up a character like Damian Wayne (Robin) or Damian Wayne (Batman). You will be able to see all issues they are in like Teen Titans or Super Sons. If you click on a title you can see all appearances in that book and all the books that you own. The possibilities are endless.

Here is the general page

This is currently in beta so only admins can add things to it. But we will open it up to members very soon.

People are buying into this because Farmhand is selling well. All the number 1's with all the variants have been updated.


If you look at the blog (interview with Rob G.) or our Instagram you can see that we have been hyping this book from the beginning.

To me there are several reasons to list your books online, specifically ComicsPriceGuide.

Sometimes we get an email or call from insurance companies saying their client had books damaged in a flood, fire or stolen. If they have a full record of their collection with the correct grade in our system it's easy to give a value. And more importantly, for you to get compensated for your loss. It happens more than you think.

Sometimes you want to sell a set of books or a title that is hot. If your books are in our system you can click the green $ and list them for sale with no additional fees. That makes it easy and inexpensive to sell your comics.

Sometimes books go up in value and you didn't realize it. If they are in our database you can sort by the most expensive overall, most expensive by publisher, most expensive graded book overall, most expensive graded book by publisher, etc.

You can organize in our system using the virtual boxes and you can tag them anything. So for people with big collections they might have some in storage or in the basement. With this they are easier to find.

I could keep going but I won't.

Jim,
You are correct with your first response about all publishers.

We haven't had anyone ask us this before. I've never really thought about it. Give us some time to discuss.

Are you saying that there is additional content in the ending credits and at the very end? Is that what you mean by "three breaks"?

Martin,
If you look beside your user name on the site, not the forum, you will see a green 4 which means you have received credit for submissions that were approved. Submissions alone do not add to your total, only submissions that were approved. There might be reasons why a submission wasn't approved like two duplicate submissions - one would be approved and one would be deleted. (deletions don't count against you) Or bad scans, wrong information, changing the text out of all caps, etc.

You know from the several times we've spoken on the phone that we don't give a timeframe for submission approvals. There are a lot of things that rank above variant approvals like updating prices. Think about it from our perspective, if we don't approve a book limited to 200 issues we disappoint 1 or 2 members. If we don't update pricing we disappoint all of our members. Pricing has to be our number 1 priority. Currently, we have over 500 variants that need to be researched, priced and approved. I'm sorry that you aren't satisfied with the speed that things are approved but we are working every day.

Martin,
According to my research, the third series wasn't titled Notti and Nyce, it was titled Notti & Nyce Menage A Trois (2017) You should put any from the third series in this title.
