3/16/2020 Topic: Marvel Holiday Special Ronbatman Administrator	I did notice a couple mistakes but it's fixed now.
3/18/2020 Topic: The Voodoo Mad (Mad paperback) Ronbatman Administrator	Can you tell me how much of this book is a comic? Our requirement to be on the site is 50% minimum.
3/18/2020 Topic: X-Men: The Movie 2000 \| One-Shot \| Ronbatman Administrator	We use indicia to determine where a book goes so based on what you've said. The three issues you mention are all special editions of the X-men: Movie title https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men-the-movie/ukvp I've moved them to the "specials" tab under that title. Ron
3/23/2020 Topic: Gold Member bumped down to Bronze - Please help Ronbatman Administrator	Every 3 years Paypal sends out a "preapproval" notice for the next 3 years. If you don't sign in to Paypal and approve it, Paypal will cancel your gold membership. The preapproval is nearly impossible to find on Paypal so I always suggest that you let it lapse and then renew it here. Glad you got it figured out. Ron
3/23/2020 Topic: New Update to the App Coming Ronbatman Administrator	It looks like Basement Comics has an S10e that works fine with the app and you have one that doesn't work. This is a confusing one. Where are you located in the world fdaz89? Maybe it's related to location.
3/23/2020 Topic: Missing Issue The Incredible Hulk 208B Ronbatman Administrator	Welcome back JoeHughes. CollectibleShop is correct on this. Just so you know, we have started moving Whitman out of DC and Marvel and into their own Whitman title. When we do this there is a link at the top in an orange box. For example, here is Action Comics with the links to other publishers. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/action-comics/pcy Technically Whitman isn't a variant since it was a different publishing company. To explain this think about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle issues. They were published under a few different publishers, IDW, Image, Mirage, First, etc. Even though some were published at the same time, we don't list them as variants but as their own issues. Whitman is a little weird since it was published at the same time but ultimately it's a separate publisher.
3/23/2020 Topic: New Update to the App Coming Ronbatman Administrator	You are correct. When we originally worked on the app we were thinking that the app would be best for conventions. You can quickly look at your want list or your collection or the price guide and make a purchase decision. If you wanted a bigger picture you could look at the site for sales, forums, price changes, etc.
3/24/2020 Topic: Missing Issue The Incredible Hulk 208B Ronbatman Administrator	You are correct regular members cannot add new issues but they can add variants. For a title like Incredible Hulk which has not yet been broken out into it's own title, you can add Whitman's as variants. When we separate it, we move all the Whitman issues over at one time. If a title has been separated like Action Comics then we would need to be notified that you want that issue added.
3/24/2020 Topic: New Update to the App Coming Ronbatman Administrator	I think that is the problem. The app would have to pull those images from a different place. I'm thinking that the connection isn't in place for customer scanned images with the app OR the memory isn't enough for those larger images. Either way, we have a clearer picture of your problem so we can work on it.
3/24/2020 Topic: Are you using the barcode scanner on the CPG app? Ronbatman Administrator	We've had someone (Scott) working on adding UPC codes for several weeks now. Plus some of you have been adding UPC codes, which is wildly helpful. Thanks. Most of Scott's work has been on modern titles, especially those still in publication. We did this so that when you add a new book you could do it with the scanner. For those of you using the app and the barcode scanner, are you finding what you're looking for? We want to know how we are doing and are you finding it helpful? From the backend we can see that over 10,000 issues were added to members collections on Saturday and almost 13,000 issues on Sunday. Which is a lot. The forced quarantine is definitely helping people organize their collections. Thanks, Ron
3/24/2020 Topic: Missing - Evil Ernie: The Resurrection Trade Ronbatman Administrator	Here you go https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/evil-ernie-the-resurrection/totr I couldn't find a good scan that wasn't mycomicshop or Milehighcomics.
3/24/2020 Topic: Missing - C.H.I.X That Time Forgot Ronbatman Administrator	I added "chix that time forgot" into the search terms so now you can type C.H.I.X. or CHIX and see it. Ron
3/25/2020 Topic: Are you using the barcode scanner on the CPG app? Ronbatman Administrator	Thanks Marciano, that's good to hear!
3/25/2020 Topic: Missing Issue The Incredible Hulk 208B Ronbatman Administrator	For Incredible Hulk it's fine to submit it as a variant. (for now) Only when a book has it's own Whitman title should you submit it to Whitman. I looked at your submission. The only issue was the image, which was saved as a PDF. I deleted that image and uploaded a new jpg image. R
3/25/2020 Topic: Help for Local Comic Book Shops Ronbatman Administrator	We know several local comic shop owners and know that they aren't rolling in the dough. We would like to help during this difficult time. Comics Price Guide is going to give Local Comic Shops a free 3 month membership. This membership will allow them to sell an unlimited number of books on our site for free. Hopefully they can make some extra money and keep their shops going. We will also put them in our comic shop locator with their website address and their CPG sales page. https://comicspriceguide.com/comic-shops Requirements 1. The store needs to be a physical storefront. 2. One membership per store 3. The email address has to include the website address - @comiccarnival.com or @comicbookuniversity or @herohouse.com (some local shops) 4. Fill in your comic shop on our comic shop locator. This will include a link to your website if you have one. Please share this with your local comic shop owner. We will be sharing this to our social media accounts today. Please have them contact me, ron (at) comicspriceguide.com and I'll set up their account. In this to help, Ron
3/26/2020 Topic: Zone Zero #1 Ronbatman Administrator	I've added this book into the system. Since there was no recent sales, I've entered it at cover price. Thanks for your help CollectibleShop.
3/29/2020 Topic: Most Recent Issues Added to Collection Ronbatman Administrator	You can see your entire collection by going here https://comicspriceguide.com/collection/all-publishers There is also a button to see top issues. You can sort by Publisher and see those top issues as well. If you're just talking about recently added. Only the top 10 show up. R
3/29/2020 Topic: Gen 13 - Issue #29 - May 1998 Correction Ronbatman Administrator	It's fixed now. Ron
3/29/2020 Topic: HOWARD THE DUCK 2015 Volume 2 nonexistent variant Ronbatman Administrator	I've removed the 2015 issue from the database and moved anyone who said they owned it to the correct one. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I looked at who added this variant and it was someone with a zero. (Helped very little with the site) When you're dealing with a database as big as Comics Price Guide you need a large group of volunteers to help. Some of those volunteers are amazingly accurate and diligent with their submissions. Others are flippant and inaccurate. That's why we have a built in approval process to find these kinds of things. Occasionally, issues slip through unnoticed. In those cases we strive to fix things as quickly as possible. Ron
