I never search using special characters. Stuff like X-Men or Spider-Man would get searched x men or spider man and I always get what I'm looking for. |

Adding Data

So I started adding data for some new books I picked up. I made a mistake in editing
Wonder Woman. I listed Sean Parsons as an artist but he is the inker. I tried removing it myself but the buttons don't seem to work. I also tried voting on other contributions and those buttons don't work either. Windows 10 and google chrome if it matters. |

Please HELP!!!!!

I always find the simpler the search, the better the results. I searched for Title: marvel comics presents Issue: 108
This popped up:
http://comicspriceguide.com/collection/marvel/marvel-comics-presents/108/yhvpi
As a reference, unless it was a key book( first appearance, big event, etc.) most 90's books don't carry much value due to massive overprinting. HTH

The front end staff have been playing catch up for awhile. I have a variant submitted that has been in the queue for about 2 months, so I'm not sure when they will get to any of it. |

Missing back cover valuation.

I just picked up a Silver Surfer #4 that looks pretty good up front. One 10c written on cover overall decent looking. But it is missing the back cover, broken off clean at the spine. What would ballpark max grade be with a missing back cover? I'll post pics when i get it, if it helps. I'm just curious. |

We were talking about downloading our database collection from this site. That being said, I have downloaded some on my phone from Marvel. Yep, there's an app for that lol. It's not bad, you can get quite a few free stories, they take up less room. You miss the experience of turning pages, but the end result is the same. |

Been adding a few back issues to fill in some holes in my FF run.
Fantastic Four 24, 32, 35(higher grade replacement), 57, 67, 97, 111(filler), 118, 196.
I also picked up a better copy of Silver Surfer #4. My first copy of this book is completely coverless. The new one has a nice front cover attached, missing back cover. I may get a complete copy one day lol. |

Paypal has a protection policy in place. If he doesn't come through you can get your money back. That being said, most sellers on here are collectors as well, and I've not heard of a sale going south via this site. |

So i bought a pile of "60s and 70s" comics on ebay. Nestled in them was a FF 67, rest of the stuff was pretty much meh. I was stoked, until it arrived.... Open it up and check indicia, 196*....YES!! Then i look at the ad on the back of the cover, some bic pen, tm 1994......and burn. Oh well, added 67 back to my list of need. |

I don't think it's possible to download all in one shot. I would download the csv for each publisher and then you can copy/paste to consolidate to one excel sheet. |

Hopefully the lot wasn't too expensive for you. Also I'm with you on one of your recent posts about making a list of issues you need instead of what you have already. It works much easier that way for me with my Batman collection needs.
I think I paid about 20 for the lot, so no big loss, just hit me in the feels. Decent books I can flip out. |

KDS didn't you just post how you were mad that your collection was growing lol. I actually had another 63, i just traded about 50 books into the LCS here for store credit.
In other news, I just filled in about 100 more back issues in the ff series. Got to love $1 and under boxes at conventions. I had a blast at the Heroes Con in Charlotte today. Got to meet Brian Stelfreeze (Black Panther) and Stacy Lee (Silk, Spidergwen, etc), and Freddie Williams (Batman/TMNT). Got a few things signed, and sent in a few things to CGC(they had a booth there and were verifying sigs.)
Forgot to mention I got some comiccon exclusives too. Zenoscope had a booth and I picked up there convention issue, Print run of 350. And I got Secret Wars 1 HeroesCon edition with a cool new spider outfit, and DK III #1 color and sketch variant for con. I'll post pics later.
