12/27/2019 Topic: Blade Runner 2019 BasementComics	It is there. From the search page, change country from USA to All Countries and it will show.
12/31/2019 Topic: Detective comics giant 1 BasementComics	Hello, this issue seems to have exploded on that auction site with sales between $60 and $149 in the last month alone. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=detective+comics+giant+1&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1 I did submit for a price evaluation using the suggest button but wanted to let you know here also. Thanks Donald
12/31/2019 Topic: Approving Data and Increasing Your Ranking BasementComics	The way Ronbatman explained it to me is that there are limited "spots" in the numbering system so the more we contribute is what helps us move up. I was in the same position last year bouncing between 4 and 5 and then between 5 and 6.
12/31/2019 Topic: Instagram Give-a-way BasementComics	I don't have Instagram so does that disqualify me?
1/4/2020 Topic: Harley Quinn: Villain of the Year BasementComics	That totally explains why I couldn't find it. Thanks for catching it and pointing it out.
1/4/2020 Topic: Toy and action figure version of CPG BasementComics	Does anyone know if there is a toy and action figure price guide / database similar to CPG? Any recommendations?
1/5/2020 Topic: Toy and action figure version of CPG BasementComics	Figure Realm doesn't seem to be a price guide. Is there one that does both?
1/9/2020 Topic: Collection list BasementComics	Is there a way to export the full collection besides by box?
1/11/2020 Topic: Crisis on Infinite Earths 100 Page Giant #1 BasementComics	It looks like the direct market version comes out next week. https://previewsworld.com/Catalog/SEP190451
1/11/2020 Topic: Missing: Sandman 30th Preludes & Nocturnes promo BasementComics	I cannot seem to find this book. It seems to be a promo copy of the 30th Anniversary of Sandman. It looks like the TPB at this link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/sandman/1C_trade%20paper%20back/pkuuots but it's just a promo comic for what appears to be the first issue. I'm not sure where this should go. It was a free giveaway at different conventions. edited by BasementComics on 1/11/2020

We will never publish a print version because we believe that it's a bad model in today's world. By the time we publish it, some values are incorrect. We make thousands and thousands of price changes each year. This happens daily. To us, printing it would be going back in time. The supplemental income and bringing awareness to Comics Price Guide would be highly valuable. We just need to do it in a different way. In today's digital world, there is no advantage to making a print model the ultimate goal. It can definitely be a time capsule to show how prices have changed. I believe that spurs interest in the hobby and it's a good thing. Overstreet is a horrible source for prices and they have no intention of ever migrating it to a digital format. This site has the advantage that any print publication would be like an advertising flyer that you don't have to invest in and give away. The customer preorders and buys the advertising flyer (i.e. book or monthly magazine). You can sell ads with QR codes next to them to steer customers to a website and a more expansive digitally formated ads, coupons, and information. Most articles I've read say that print and web marketing is most beneficial when they are used in conjunction with one another. The old print model is dying, but the all digital realm is at the mercy of search engines and competing services. It's easy to drown in the sea of data on the web. The advantage of an outdated "print" version of a price guide is that it's a permanent ad promoting people to visit the site for the most current value. Collectors will save them just like they do comics. 10 years from now when someone is thumbing through a comic box, they'll think... "I wonder if the CPG site is still around." They'll enter it into their phone or they'll have one of those devices that reads a person's actual thoughts (brain waves) and searches the web without a mouse or keyboard. Overstreet does offer a searchable PDF version however it can only be downloaded to one device and that is it. I did it one year and won't do it again.
1/13/2020 Topic: Need help on comic book storage questions....Plus BasementComics	There are companies out there who do offer collectors insurance (google can help). I have mine through my auto/home insurance company. They just did it as an add on to my policy.

1/16/2020 Topic: Comic Book Collection BasementComics	I'd love to get the ASM 300 but I'd rather spend that money on a Detective #85.
1/18/2020 Topic: Comic Book Collection BasementComics	Just out of curiosity, how much for the ASM 298,299 and 300? edited by Basementcomics on 1/18/2020
