2/10/2023 Topic: locating collectibleshop	giant-size issues are under the Giant Size tab on the regular title's listing, and you can also use the dropdown menu under Comic Type on the main search page, https://comicspriceguide.com/search and pick Giant Size (and just use 'X-Men' in the title box and '1' in the issue number). This is faster than waiting for the X-Men title to load. it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/x-men/1giant_size/scxviv Watch CPG's 'How To' youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3eOHtGDGIs0GGohUDuypf3TlQM2aupdo See this thread for my search tips (4th post down, I need to update it to tell about the new choices in the search form): https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic12110-evil-ernie-youth-gone-wild-directors-cut.aspx https://comicspriceguide.com/faqs for a few How To answers about submitting missing images and reporting missing issues etc. Watch CPG's 'How To' youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3eOHtGDGIs0GGohUDuypf3TlQM2aupdo note to the programmer---is the search form on the forum going to be updated to show the added fields and choices the main search page does? would be helpful/faster. or is it one of those 'can't do it cuz the forum software is different than the main site and we can't do it' things? edited by collectibleshop on 2/10/2023
2/12/2023 Topic: Missing series/Issue - Patient Number 9 collectibleshop	I'd say the 'official' site would be Ozzy's, so here's the page with it: https://store.ozzy.com/collections/patient-no-9/products/ltd-edition-comic-book-by-todd-mcfarlane-w-cd-in-mini-jacket some sellers say it's limited to 5,000, but the website just says limited edition, but likely it's stated in the package. CGC census info says: Art Comments: Todd McFarlane story & cover, Jonathan Glapion art e*** prices are all over the place as usual, most are for the whole CD or LP & comic package, but the site still says they have it for $19.98 for the CD package, or at least it loads in the shopping cart that way. There's a foil cover variant too, but can't find a good pic of an unsigned copy so far, so not gonna waste more time on it. pic attached of the regular version. edited by collectibleshop on 2/12/2023

Someone needs to scan one somewhere. and the foil is so similar to the regular cover it's hard to tell the difference in pics, like on Ozzy's site with that blue smoke set. I could crop out just the comic, but it looks the same as the regular pic one. no biggie, CPG can list a foil version and just wait for someone to find a pic some day.
2/14/2023 Topic: Missing issues (Marvel) collectibleshop	helps if you say what year the series is, since some have multiple volumes, and if you look inside at the indicia info at the bottom of the 1st page usually, it will tell you the correct title. Wolverine / Ghostrider dual(marvel comics present) issue no.39,45,46,48,49,50,51,94,95,96,97,98,99,101,102,103,116,117,118. Actual title is Marvel Comics Presents, they have therm all. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvel-comics-presents/rjpy . It's a flip book with 2 covers, and they don't show you both covers. Morbius (Midnight massacre) issue no.12. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/morbius-the-living-vampire/12/rirvo Avengers Westcoast issue no.85. West Coast is 2 words. https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/avengers-west-coast/85/vmrqh Terrax issue no.2. Correct title is Cosmic Powers, like it says down the side: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/cosmic-powers/2/vcss Excalibur issue no.37. not sure why you couldn't find this, but it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/excalibur/37B/tmuwm BLAZE / Ghostrider issue no.16,15,14. I assume you mean Ghost Rider/Blaze Spirits of Vengeance? they have them all: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/ghost-rider-blaze-spirits-of-vengeance/smxs Darkhawk issue no.32: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/darkhawk/32/tnpsl there ya go. edited by collectibleshop on 2/14/2023
2/15/2023 Topic: Missing series/Issue - Patient Number 9 collectibleshop	Xvipah73 wrote: Thanks, Ron. Should I add the foil cover as a variant? Like I said, I can scan in the one I have, but it is signed and in a case so it may not make the best pic. based on usual CPG standards, a signed copy wouldn't do, as it may confuse collectors since there are normal unsigned ones, so you don't want people to think there's only signed copies, although most are, going by the CGC census. I don't think it's that important at this point to have a pic of the foil version since they both have gold ink titles and look almost identical in the pics I've found. Eventually a scan of an unsigned copy will show up on e*** or google images that's usable. No biggie either way. if you scan yours and it comes out ok, I assume you can crop out the CGC case to the edge of the comic.

If so then could someone could walk me through where to send a pic? Thanks... Also, the foil variant also came with the LTD. Super Deluxe 2LP Vinyl Box Set. https://ozzyosbournemusic.shop.musictoday.com/product/Y4LPOZ037/ozzy-osbourne-patient-number-9-ltd-edition-super-deluxe-2lp-vinyl-boxset?cp=81488_111845 Do you have any others from 1 of the other album sets to compare? I'm beginning to think there's no variant edition. All the pics on Ozzy's site of the comic look the same, but there's no stand-alone ones of just the comic. The ones on e*** are inconclusive due to mostly bad pics or square-on good pics that all make the title look the same, so hard to tell if it's gold foil or just gold ink. CGC has been known to make mistakes with variants that do and don't exist, so they may not be correct either. I've notified them of multiple variant identification problems myself. And it's not clear if the 'foil' part only refers to the title, or the whole cover, since they can do whole foil covers of course, but since only the title is in gold, I'd think it's only the title that would be foil. You or Xvipah could clear that up for us. I just emailed Sony Music to ask them if there were 2 versions of the comic, so will post if/when they answer. So you can take some pics and attach them to a post, but unless you have both supposed versions, it may not tell us much. Use the 'attach files' button at the bottom of the post area. fun city.... edited by collectibleshop on 2/16/2023
2/16/2023 Topic: Missing series/Issue - Patient Number 9 collectibleshop	ok, after checking out your pics and again on e* with the 1 CGC foil copy, and reading Xvipah's post, I can now see that there does seem to be a gold variant, most noticeable by Ozzy's face and the hands of the 'people', which are yellowish/gold color vs the more white color of the regular edition. So like Xvipah said, I'm also guessing whoever took the set pics on Ozzy''s site just used the same regular edition comic on all. Possibly at the time they didn't have the gold foil ones in time maybe? Tarn, CPG needs square-on pics, which you can do by standing over the comic and holding your phone directly above it, but not sure how reflective that cover may be that way, so your/camera reflection could show in the pic. A scan would be better, maybe you know someone with a scanner? Lots of free sites to use that will reduce the physical size and file size, and crop it to the edges, or if you have a real computer, you may have a built-in photo editor, windows usually includes one. update hours later--*-Sony had replied around noon, but it went to a spam folder, which doesn't tell you it has anything in it until you hover over the folder, so just saw it tonight. and as usual, you don't get a direct/correct answer to the question from any company any more. They said they 'only had the 1 comic version AVAILABLE now, and the link I sent to 1 of the foil sets was sold out.' argh. not what I asked them, so explained again what we wanted to know. but methinks it's answered anyway now, so getting a good pic of the foil version for someone to submit is the next thing to get this done. edited by collectibleshop on 2/16/2023*

I posted the foil pic here for your review...thanks! https://www.flickr.com/photos/141663866@N02/52695348388/in/dateposted-public/ ok, cool. I copied and it reduced the size and tweaked it some, and have submitted it as a variant. The background color may be iffy, but good enough for now. Sony wrote back and gave me the same dumb answer---"we only have the 1 comic for sale on the site'. I've asked twice, simply, 'did you make two versions of the cover?'. how hard is that to answer? anyway, guess that it's on this book for now. thanks to you and Xvipah for the info/pics.

2/17/2023 Topic: Assassin's Creed UK #001 Newbury Comics Variant collectibleshop	Hi, couple things. wrong forum for this, you want the Database and Missing Issue forum: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topics.aspx?ForumID=15 This forum is for technical problems with the site. you can add variants yourself, but you need a better square-on pic. I found 1 and attached it. You can copy and save it, then do this: go to the issue's listing: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/assassins-creed/1/pjttkuq Click the Variants tab. Go to the bottom of all those, and click on the red 'Report Missing Variant' button. You must be logged in to do this stuff. Fill in the info fields on the next page as best you can. Then click the 'upload file' button down there and upload your pic and click the green submit button at the bottom, and they'll get to adding it whenever. if you can't do it, post in the Database forum and say so (use the 'attach files' button the bottom of the compose window and attach my pic if you saved it), and I can do it for you next time I'm by. edited by collectibleshop on 2/17/2023
2/18/2023 Topic: 2nd and later printing collectibleshop	the standard answer is no, it's not a variant, it's just a later printing, even if there was a slightly different cover. Like the Killing Joke, that has many different printings with different color titles, and they're just listed as reprints. But PRICES can be very different for them due to the colors and lower number printed, for the completists. I assume it's this one?: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/wonder-woman/2_trade%20paper%20back/xmrujq .so note that CPG doesn't even list any later printings for it. No real point if all the covers are the same and there's no interior difference (like when some reprints include new material or extra stuff)., and therefore no value difference. edited by collectibleshop on 2/18/2023

2/26/2023 Topic: 18+ to view? collectibleshop	not new, been around quite a while. shows when you're not logged in, so if you're normally logged in you wouldn't see it. apparently applies to the cover art and/or story, so some covers may not be adult, but the story is, so it'll show the 'Adult' thumbnail. edited by collectibleshop on 2/26/2023
2/26/2023 Topic: HELLBLAZER: RED SEPULCHRE collectibleshop	it's under the 1993-2013 second series, click on the trade paperback tab and scroll down till you find it. this is it: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/hellblazer/18_trade%20paper%20back/ucsvls the majority of TPBs and not indexed by the story title, at least yet, so you have to figure out which volume of the series they collect, go to that series and check under the trade paperback tab. edited by collectibleshop on 2/26/2023
2/26/2023 Topic: The Knights of Pendragon, original run collectibleshop	just a friendly reminder, since you probably read my reply to the Death's Head post, the correct forum for reporting missing issues (when they're actually missing) is the Database and Missing Issue forum, hence it's name . https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/forum15-database--missing-issue-discussion.aspx you can also delete 'mistake' posts, there's a delete button at the bottom of the posts.
