5/21/2020 Topic: Bartman #1 Variant Ronbatman Administrator	The differences in those books are this. 1. Newsstand $1.95 vs Direct $2.95 (no UPC during that timeframe) 2. The Direct version has a silver foil and the Newsstand has silver coloring. 3. The Direct Version has a poster and the Newsstand does not. You are correct that the scanner didn't handle the reflective surface very well. I'll replace that scan so that it's more obvious. Ron edited by ronbatman on 5/21/2020
5/21/2020 Topic: Michael Turner's Soulfire Question Ronbatman Administrator	The reason is related to the 2017 Soulfire series, which is All-New Michael Turner's Soulfire. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/all-new-michael-turners-soulfire/xoutj We list that as series 1 since the title is different. Apparently Aspen considers it the same as Michael Turner's Soulfire. If someone with the before mentioned series can look at the indicia, we would change our if we are incorrect.
5/22/2020 Topic: Newbie from Ireland looking for sellers local-ish Ronbatman Administrator	We have talked about giving sellers the option to specify their location, which would benefit all our members around the world. Ron
5/22/2020 Topic: Modern age slabs Ronbatman Administrator	We see all kinds of collectors and collections here at CPG, from Golden Age to Variant to Artist driven collectors. Regardless of your preferences, we should all be kind to fellow collectors. You never know when your tastes might change. In the early 2000's people would say, "I don't buy any 90's crap." Now those same people are scurrying around looking for 90's era comics because they are highly sought after now. Collect what you like and enjoy!
5/22/2020 Topic: When do you stop and smell the roses? Ronbatman Administrator	Love this post. Enjoy the moment you're in with the collection you have.
5/25/2020 Topic: Mike Hoffman's Son of Secret Sketchbooks Ronbatman Administrator	Our current standard is 50% comic story content so sketchbooks are not currently being added to the system. Honestly, I was shocked to see so many in the system when I looked.
5/25/2020 Topic: Blocking sales offers Ronbatman Administrator	We do not currently have a way to block people from communicating or offering to buy a book. If you have an issue with someone specifically, please try to work out something with them directly. If that doesn't work, please email me and I will work on resolving the issue. Ron

5/25/2020 Topic: Stargirl television series Ronbatman Administrator	I've heard from a trusted source that the first episodes were surprisingly good. I might have to watch it. R
5/28/2020 Topic: Missing dell three stooges Ronbatman Administrator	There is only one volume of Walt Disney's Comics and stories by Dell https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/walt-disneys-comics-and-stories/ylsx Would a description of terms help? The TITLE might be "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" The VOLUME is how many times a specific publisher used that exact title or 1 in this case. The ISSUE is the numbering on each book in the title or in this case 263 issues.

5/31/2020 Topic: Problem Seller Ronbatman Administrator	Taskmaster, you know that I have worked with you in the past about bad sellers. I've deleted their accounts or ended every auction they have. It's not fair to throw out your comment about people being on here for years and not responding. I'm here to help and make this the best place to buy comics. If you have someone specific that you've had a problem with please let me know with an email. We have an automated system that will put all auctions into vacation mode (invisible to everyone but them) if someone hasn't logged into the site in 3 months. If someone reports that a seller is unresponsive, I will investigate. We have been able to resolve all issues through one means or another. Ron
5/31/2020 Topic: Images not loading Ronbatman Administrator	All images are showing on my computer, thumbnails, larger images and personal scans. Ron
6/2/2020 Topic: Images not loading Ronbatman Administrator	The images are working on the site so it has to be something related to the settings on your computer. So email me and we can walk through a couple things to try. ron (at) comicspriceguide.com I'm using a weird way to show my email so that scrappers don't put me on every email list on the planet. Ron
6/2/2020 Topic: Price recommendations Ronbatman Administrator	Donald, We will try the link first, if it has expired then we will look at newer closed auctions for that site. There are tools like Terapeak that allow us to see eBay auctions for longer and to see closed offers. Thanks for your contribution, Ron
6/3/2020 Topic: Problem Seller Ronbatman Administrator	We moved your post from the "missing issues" area to the General comic Discussion area. https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic15264-people-need-to-talk-instead-of.aspx In your post, you talk about people needing to take a chill pill. Yet, here you are ranting again about this same situation. This is a situation that is best solved by you two talking about it. When that doesn't work, then you can involve CPG. It's not that big of a deal, no one got in trouble or banned or socially shunned. Ron
