There is a place on the site that has misses, hits, and pending issues. Currently, it's a little tough to find but it exists.

The way to find it is to click on your user name in the upper right corner.
In the drop-down that appears click on the number in the bottom left corner.
It will take you to this page
https://comicspriceguide.com/member-ranks/

We are currently working on a way to make this page more accessible. There seems to be an issue with the code for the "pending" issues. Our programmer is working on that right now. I'll let you know when he is finished.

Comic Book Creator Search

To answer your question, you cannot search for artists within your collection. However, there are some things that can get close to that.
If you go to the creator page
https://comicspriceguide.com/creators/

Type in "Ross" and click on Alex Ross
https://comicspriceguide.com/creators/alex-ross

In our database, there are 196 titles that he has worked on. If you click on one of those titles you can see which ones you own. There will be green font below each issue that says "You own 1 issue". With that, you can easily see which issues in a title you are missing and add them to your want list.

To be listed on the site a book has to be 50% comic story. I would have to look at the Marvel Previews to see but all admins know and follow this rule.

Yep, looks like someone messed up the issue number with the legacy number. Issue 30 should be LGY 747 instead of 730.

In the coming weeks, I will be adding new YouTube training videos for Comics Price Guide. We have some older videos but the site is different now, less cluttered with more functionality. If you would like to suggest a training video on something this is the ideal time.
Here are the current videos on my agenda

1. How to enter books into your collection. (3 ways)
https://youtu.be/4786kUHhCyA
2. How to buy and sell on Comics Price Guide
https://youtu.be/wFUmGlqrKWY
3. How to use virtual comic book boxes
https://youtu.be/TC1DiuFyvjY
4. How to download or print your collection
https://youtu.be/NuDVpxxOXVE
5. How to add a variant
https://youtu.be/monM9kRax1Y
6. How to submit a cover scan
7. How to adjust your account settings
https://youtu.be/0PIEAfZ6US8
8. UPC Codes Explained
https://youtu.be/dD0Y35RWfWQ
9. What if you cannot find an issue
https://youtu.be/rgBhOLj5p-g
10. Which membership option should you choose?
https://youtu.be/-rmYyCyh3NA

Basically, these are our 10 most common customer support issues that we deal with through email and on the forums. I'll add links as I complete them.
Ideas?

We don't count mini-series as volumes. So, 2019's Loki is volume 1

CPG Watchlist

So much good stuff in this post, sorry that it took me two days to find it.

As you mention, the current speculation market is very similar to the 90's era spec market. Brand new books or new variants are rising dramatically in price because someone mentioned a book. Wizard drove the market in the 90s and now there are a few spec YouTubers who drive it. Some YouTubers are great sources of information so this isn't a blanket statement. I have a few YouTubers whom I count as friends and friends of ComicsPrice Guide. We as an organization have taken the approach that we won't speculate on the market, we report the market. We were around when the 90's bubble burst and saw the problem that caused the comic book community. Collectors were disillusioned and left the hobby. On the other side of this issue, it's fun to speculate and hunt hot books. The thrill of the hunt is real.

Our watch list is what is going up right now. It isn't meant to be investment advice.

We could provide our picks for best investment books but they would be dramatically different than a watch list. Using the stock market analogy, what are undervalued companies or comics? Which characters have long term potential?

I'd like to borrow some of Ruk's List here and create a list of your best run. We could update it as needed. Only 1 run per person.

RonBatman - Batman 472 issues (191-663) Need 7 issues to extend the run to 713

Play along,
Ron
