3/16/2018 Topic: Comic Price Guide as "Go To" for Comic Sales expander	Perhaps a conference call might be in order at the next big meeting of the minds? Say from the the top four or five contributors of ideas. Let the creative teams hear first hand the excitement in our voices when we get going on an idea and bounce real time questions off of one another to really get some of these things rolling. I know a lot of contributions to the site are made on a volunteer basis but for those who are actually employed by cpg lets work together on some genuine fixes.
3/16/2018 Topic: Ruk's list-Who has the best collection expander	Lol, the "DL" = the down low or, "hush-hush". It's got a rather shady origin from what I've heard but it basically means that something won't be spoken of. OOPS! I suddenly feel like I may have turned this into a "classroom" my bad. edited by expander on 3/16/2018

3/17/2018 Topic: Moon knight #188+189 second printing variants expander	All I know is I looked for about twenty minutes then I posted these. That's them all right. Many thanks.
3/17/2018 Topic: Ruk's list-Who has the best collection expander	lol I thought it was a great idea. I'd frequent such an establishment.
3/19/2018 Topic: Nobody sleeps (dot dot dot) expander	I've also been experiencing this glitch. If I go to the top and log in it says I'm already logged in so I hit F5 and refresh it's good for about an hour then it needs repeating it's very off-putting.
3/23/2018 Topic: Nobody sleeps (dot dot dot) expander	I do lots of reading throughout the forums while doing other things in other tabs. I usually have 5 or 6 tabs open doing lots of things reading, shopping, selling, research, almost always have youtube open for either music or a historical documentary of some sort. So I may spend a few hours online but maybe 1/3 of that is reading/posting here. Sometimes when I click back over to the forums tab it can be as much as an hour later and I'll need to log back in.

3/23/2018 Topic: Walmart 3 Pack Comics? expander	I'll keep that in mind. Maybe by looking at the spines there will be just enough color showing through to see if i'm buying duplicates?
3/23/2018 Topic: What conventions are you going to this year? expander	I'm hoping to get to 3 rivers comic con and steel city comic con "locally" in Pittsburgh. I don't know if there are any here in Ohio close by. Maybe around Cleveland?
3/23/2018 Topic: Publisher: Ediciones Vertice (Mundi-Comics)? expander	I found quite a few Avengers titles listed under Panini Spain (España) Make sure to change the country in the search field to spain. chances are they're listed you just have to play around with the search details a bit to find them https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/vengadores-los/vhrsh try this as well Planeta de Agostini
4/2/2018 Topic: WHAT'S HOT, WHAT'S NOT expander	I sold 3 copies of x-men annual #14 to my comicshop for $0.96 years ago not knowing about the gambit app.

4/26/2018 Topic: The New Comics Price Guide App expander	will there be an email notification when its ready????? I'm excited
5/18/2018 Topic: DC ESSENTIAL GRAPHIC NOVELS 2018 expander	Some things do get listed based on a percentage of the contents being comic book related, such as the marvel previews or the amazink (SLG) peepshow previews. Additionally a few fanzines based on I think 80% comic content. Not sure on the exact number but I remember this was discussed on the old forums and Shadow was the one who told me all about it. I think that's also why the Disney adventures magazines were also hit and miss as far as inclusion goes. some had up to 30 pages of comics and some as few as 12 pages.
5/20/2018 Topic: Attended 3 Rivers comic con today expander	There was a lot to see and even more to buy! I had fun looking through all of the booths and tables and was surprised at the extreme split between brand spanking new stuff and the gold/silver age market. I started out by walking the full perimeter and just taking in a lay of the land and seeing what was there to do, to buy, and who there was to talk to. I am always stunned at the volume of self produced content there is but also at how much the quality of the production of some of the books have with online services offering lower prices for printing to even the establishment of inclusion into the library of congress I talked to one creator who's works even have ISBN #'s with copies of less than 1,000 books. There were vendors of all sorts as to be expected offering everything from custom printing, engraving, artistic commissions and leather works to virtual gaming experiences and sitting in replica cars from comics and movies. (I opted for the Mach 5 experience myself) And of course lots of comics! I only spent $135.00. ($10 on admission and another $10 on food) Parking was free! There was a free trade paperback offered by new dimension comics just for showing up. ( I picked Iron Saint) CGC was there. I didn't get anything slabbed but, it's nice to know I could do that on the spot if I so wanted. I spun a prize wheel and got The Walking Dead Tyreese Special for free. Valiant Comics had a booth where i finally got my hands on Ivar Timewalker TPB #3 For $10.00! Then I stopped by a booth that had a lot of batman back issues and I grabbed a bundle of Batman adventures #1-13 for $20 I stopped and chatted for a good 45 minutes with the guy who had all the nonsport trading cards and talked about the nonsense of paying $8.00 or more on ebay just to get a .90 cent card to finish off a set that might be worth $30 if you're lucky. his booth neighbor had some great deals on marvel hard covers at $5 a pop. I picked up; Wolverine: Rot, Castle: Deadly Storm, Death of Wolverine, and Wolverine/Black Cat:claws II. I then Happened upon my Primary non comic reason for attending I stumbled upon the booth of my newest friend Kelci Crawford! Who co-wrote and penciled and inked The Case of the Wendigo as well as Johnson and Sir and a few other web comics I have yet to indulge.Dropped $15 on Kelci for the Digest sized TPB of Johnson and Sir. facebook.com/kelcicrawfordart (Sorry for Grammaticals and Missp's I'm trying to get this posted before i get the digital boot!) Next I picked up a nifty Batman coaster for my comic room sometimes i need coffee to stay up and read. Fiver on that. next stop: the 50 cent bin another fiver on these: terminator revolution #3,Wilcats/xmen modern age #1, Batman/deathblow#2,Zen Intergalactic ninja v2#2&3,and 3ish-mini defend the earth#1,2,3,detective annual #7 and Spidey 2099 v3 #4a. Then I got some lego mini figs for the kids because they didn't get to come today I got them batgirl, rocket racoon ,Baby Groot ,Venom and Deadpool. $5 And For my daughter A Hand Made Batman Library bag. $20 and a glance out of the corner of my eye i see avengers/jla #4 sitting on someones pile that they pulled out 40 books and pared it down to 30 pile sitting on top of the stacks Nabbed for $2!!!!! and picked up and old hardcover batman best of from the 30 to the 70's published1971 by bonanza books Batman: From the 30's to the 70's. 36 pages in FULL COLOR! total of 388 pgs. such a nifty book! Isbn:0-517-19032X. check it out! Also saw too many cosplays to name it was awesome to watch deadpool give wolverine cpr as he yelled I just F-ing fixed you!" and then see the life size groot say "I am groot!" Pics Later?

5/24/2018 Topic: Attended 3 Rivers comic con today expander	To all thank you for your kind words I had a blast! I really enjoyed this con, I have missed it in years past due to scheduling conflicts and or lack of funds. However, that was just the short version I stopped and talked with so many folks I wish I could have attended both days. My hopes are to catch it every year. Locally there is a mini-con at the ywca across the river in Wheeling this weekend I'll be checking out.
