Thanks for checking. I searched for "critters special", but not for an additional "critters". I see now that "specials" is a subclass of the main critters.

Good afternoon,

I am having trouble loading any images on CPG...none of the covers are displaying. I was wondering if this was a site-wide problem (that is being addressed) or if it's on my end (that I need to solve). I know this seems to crop up as a problem every now and then...there are similar threads in 2018 and 2016 at least.

Thanks,

I have tried clearing cache and cookies on my W10 laptop. It works on my phone, but doesn't work in firefox or chrome from my computer. Right now, it seems like lots more than the pictures are failing to load. You saying that you see it from time to to time is helpful though...I can wait it out for a few days before panicking.

Yes. I've tried multiple browsers, clearing cache, incognito/private windows and VPNs. Still...nothing.

Try opening it using an incognito browser and see if it still happens.

Thank you for your quick reply. I will upload individual scans for the covers (without watermark...). I was running into a lot of issues with my account not functioning properly, so uploading photos directly was being troublesome. I have deleted the posts for the variants (will do that directly) and will fix the images for the other two today.

for future reference, please don't make single posts for each missing comic/variant, do them in 1 post, thanks.
It's faster if you submit them yourself. Save a GOOD cropped-to-the-edges pic with no watermark to your computer/phone first. then go to the page that issue should be on, click on the Variants tab, click on the red 'Report Missing Variant' button in lower right after the other covers, and fill in the info boxes as best you can, and upload the pic from your computer/phone (must be logged in to do all that), and they'll get to it when they get to it.

Anyone successful at selling on CPG?

Dal1283
Dal1283
Are there fees for listings/selling? Is it considered a "private sale"? I assume invoicing is done via paypal or money order...not through CGC. Also, what do people typically charge in terms of shipping? I don't really have a sense of how much it costs to send one or two comics with adequate protection.

John,
If you are entering the books with the grade, it's very easy to sell them here. One button. Fill in the price and shipping and you're done.

Your success is based on the number of books listed, price and their desirability. We've had people say that they live off the money they get from CPG sales. One comic shop in Phoenix started here first and then opened a storefront. The amount of money that will go directly into your pocket versus eBay really adds up. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

Missing Usagi Yojimbo 6, Chibi and Foil variants (sold
https://www.dogu.co/product-category/product-categories/, with more
information). Also missing the Grasscutter special edition by IDW
(https://idwlimited.com/shop/usagi-yojimbo-grasscutter-artist-select-signed-numbered-edition ).

I
put in a "missing variant" for the two UY 6 issues (with photos) but I wasn't sure how
best to list the Grasscutter. I notice there is an "artist select"
series by IDW, but it only has one book from a few years ago
(https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/artist-select-series/pjyuip )...it seems it would fit well there.

Updates on values for TMNT (Mirage) and Albedo 2

Dal1283
Dal1283
This is a general question pretending to be a specific one. Some comics are REALLY on fire right now (TMNT vol. 1 from Mirage and Albedo 2 in particular being the ones I'm focused on). I've noticed that the values of these and some of the higher-end comics don't get updated all that frequently and values are way below current FMV. I'm wondering if this is a case of "there are too many comics to update vs. people updating them" or if there is a decision to hold off on updating the values of current hot comics until the market stabilizes a bit.

Thoughts?

TMNT 1, 7.5 just sold for $12,500. Albedo 2, 9.8 just sold for close to $29,000...so yea, good luck getting them anywhere close to the values listed here. I get it if there is a goal to hold off until prices stabilize.

I think it would be a great feature to have a "last updated" date listed on the values page.

Any word on updates to TMNT and Abledo? I put in quite a few suggested updates.


Ronbatman wrote:
What we are seeing in the market right now is very similar to the speculative bubble of the 90s. Comic Tom or some other expert says this book is hot and then it explodes in value. A book less than a year old shouldn't be going for $400 because it's a spec or sales have gone up 1500%. We were around for the speculation bubble and the industry suffered because of it.

To the specific topic, I will go through the TMNT books and update them. If you're a paying member you can suggest a value change.

You should post a picture of the signature. It's possible that it's not a nobody...just someone with a weird signature. Someone here might be able to tell.

There are quite a few variants for Usagi Yojimbo 6 (IDW). I've uploaded "missing variant" photos. I added a couple a while ago. There were a bunch of variants for the issue because of the 35th anniversary of the comic.

Thanks for linking the thread. I have two submissions entered in August of last year and one just recently. Is there any way to know what the queue looks like? Is there a normal length of time for them to be approved?

Thank you much! Your response was everything I was looking for and more. I didn't realize how resubmissions muck up the works...but now I know better! Sorry for the last one. I clicked "resubmit" on the old ones when I put in the new one this week. The variant game is insane. Thanks for the reply and stay well! I'll be patient now/again!

There are 4 submitted from you for Usagi Yojimbo. We've had someone working on the variants for about a month now and he's worked it down to the low 700's. We just receive so many variants and they are produced at an astronomical rate. DC and Marvel produce enough to keep someone busy.

To give you a point of reference there are more variants produced by a small (no name) publisher with small print runs than were produced in years in the '90s. Some titles that very few people care about might have 50 variants. (I'm not saying this about your submission just in general.) No one is able to keep up with this insane flow of variants. Because of that we don't make promises. Please don't submit it again, that slows things down.
