better pic for Superman Lost #1E foil

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/superman-lost/1E/piqulxy has a very dark pic that I couldn't tweak to look at all decent, so found a better one that matched what actual photos of copies on e*** showed, but it's a way clearer pic that many sites are using, but seems to be production version. attached it below.

you can usually find most, but not all FCBD books by adding 'free' or 'fcdb' to the title search, but not in this case. when there's multiple volumes of a title, just match up the year of the volume with the year of the FCBD issue (in this case the 2013-15 Guardians series), and then look under the series' FCBD tab as Xvipah said. You can also use the 'issue' dropdown menu on the main site search form and go down to Free Comic Book Day (along with the title field filled in) and that will get you the various volumes that have FCBD issues.

is it this one, maybe? Marvel Tales #13, all reprints. The story titles are The End of Spider-Man, Marvel Boy and the Lost World, Let's learn About Hank and Jan, and The Mysterious Mr Hyde.
https://www.comics.org/issue/21731/
CPG listing: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvel-tales/13/rnxqi


if that's not it, do some google searches on the story titles and you should be able to find it.

apparently on this, you need to use the 'all types' or 'prestige format' in the Comic Type dropdown, since it's a subcategory of 'prestige format.' since the new search features were added, you have to check the 'Type' list or use 'All Types' to find certain things.

Dream Book of Romance #9 doesn't exist

https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/dream-book-of-romance/9/pbyybr
I've looked all over for this to get a pic, and no one has it, most databases stop at #8. The CGC boards have a thread on 'Phantom price guide issues', and the guy says "Dream Book of Romance #124 (#9) (1954) Does not exist. This is supposed to be part of the A-1 series, and there is an A-1 #124 -- but it is a humor issue titled "Hot Dog"." This is what I found too, so looks like #9 doesn't exist.

it's here: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/climate-crisis-chronicles/1_soft%20cover/phxsntt


since it's a softcover, you need to use 'All Types' or soft cover in the Issue type field, as the default of just 'issue' is for regular comics. or search AWA in the publisher search field and the title will be listed.
you can post multiple issues in 1 post instead of making separate ones toosmile

Missing Comic Book

collectibleshop
collectibleshop
yep, seems to be missing. comics.org, mycomicshop and others don't have it either, but the vine does, but no info. seems to be only 4-6 pages. quoting from a 2016 article from New Orleans:

"This Fire Prevention Week, Siemens has partnered with Marvel Comics to create a special edition comic book to bring attention to the importance of fire communications technologies to help mitigate the danger that fires present, and improve the systems that warn and help occupants exit a building....Iron Man, Captain America and Siemens Intelligent Voice Communication System have teamed up to save the day in “The Avengers: A Cause for Alarm."

there's a link to a read.marvel.com site but I didn't want to post it in case the filter blocks it, but people can find it online to read.

New Mutants Graphic Novel

collectibleshop

direct link: https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/marvel-graphic-novel/4soft_cover/wlwroq

for future reference, on the main site pages search form (which has more filter choices than the forum search form), you need to either use 'All Types" or the specific type of 'comic' in the Comic Type field/dropdown menu for what you're looking for if it's not a 'normal' comic (Issue is the default choice). So graphic novels will be under the soft cover or hard cover choice, or use All Types and they will come up if you use the right title. You used to be able to use Marvel Graphic Novel #4, as that's the correct title, but now you have to narrow the issue choice from Issue to the more specific type or use All Types.That will get you more directly to the book, but as Gilgandra said, hardcovers and softcovers are under those tabs for the series title listing. The 'older' Marvel Graphic Novels and DC Graphic Novels are under those titles, vs the character/team name, usually, and that causes a lot of confusion too.

this post announces some of the new search features, and it would help the newer people if it was added to more, and pinned to the Q&A, Help Locating, and Missing Issues forum, as these 'can't find it' posts are happening regularly since the update: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic17586-new-search-feature.aspx#post39088

Eight Billion Genies

Hi,
FYI, you posted this twice, so you can delete the other one (there's delete button below the posts.)

from checking e*** and mycomicshop and comics.org (who don't have all the variants either), and other sites, it appears the CPG 1E and H are duplicate listings of the same book. I thought maybe 1 edition was limited to 500 and the other not, but publishers usually make a difference in the covers in that case. but every copy I see on e*** says the 1st edition 1E is limited to 500, and the ones with the title on them are the 4th print.

pic of 4th print attached.

WHY ARE SIGNED COMICS BEING LISTED AS VARIANTS

I do not believe a signed book should be a variant. The cover dictates a variant in most cases. CPG has a location for if your cover is signed...variant or not. (example) -> The Electric Black #1 2nd print in a variant...but now CPG has the same book listed twice...once as 2nd print variant and once as signed variant. If that is the case...I can go get The Amazing Spider-Man #1 variants and have them signed by different people and quadruple the amount of variants...(like we need that...lol)!


if you haven't, read this post that's at the top of this forum: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topic9-signed-and-remarked-comics.aspx

it notes "Dynamic Forces VARIANT COVERS (signed or unsigned), along with all other variant covers like Catch A Star will be included in the regular database." This only applies for comics signed by those 2 companies (well, usually, but there seems to more exceptions made and signed comics listed all the time these days, if done by companies), so no, you couldn't go get the Spidey variants, have them signed, and get them in the CPG database as variants, as point #2 in that posts says. Then there would be 10 million more listings for all signed comics in the database. The MEMBER collections can add all the signed versions they want to their collection list of course.

and I expect the reasoning for the signed issue being labeled as a variant too is because the 2nd print is a variant cover of #1, therefore the signed version is the same variant, but signed, and listed separately since it's a DF version. Ronbatman can tell you more specifics tho.

and note to admins, the referred to post still says " COA's (certificate of authenticity) will not be mentioned", yet they mention it on this issue, so maybe that post needs another update smile

are you talking about the Fathom the Core or the Kickstarter editions or what? always link to the CPG listing to help people find what you're talking about.

to attach a pic to a forum post, use the 'attach files' button at the bottom of the compose window, browse to the pic on your phone/computer, click it to add, then 'add message' if your done. that will only show a small thumbnail or link, but it's openable/downloadable so people can check it out. if it's a good sharp pic/scan, it's helpful to crop it to the edges, and then CPG can reduce it and use it.

found this on some other sites, but appears to be a one-shot, super small production, so easy for CPG to never come across it. I made smaller pics of yours and cropped the #1 to the edges better, and attached them for CPG to use.

No the Fathom comic that I listed actually has variants up to N on it. I posted the different variants on the Missing Variants page under the Issue. Using an IPhone with the Safari browser and still do not see how to add a picture to this post. Is there something that the admin has Yo do to my acct?

edited by Rwaddell8781 on 4/1/2023

please post a link to the CPG listing of that series, that will help. There's too many Fathom series and too many variants to paw thru.

not sure how the forum looks on phones, or if safari or an adblocker is blocking the image of the 'attach files' orange button for some reason, but no, the admins don't need anything done to your account to post a pic here. You have to be in the compose/post window to see it, should be below the post field on bottom left, with 'preview' and 'cancel' buttons in that row. to attach a pic, it has to be from a file on your phone, but I don't have a smartphone, but gotta assume the 'browse' feature works on those too. you can post a URL/link to a site that has the pic too.
