Is it possible to set in my profile to have the search automatically show 100 issues rather than 50? I've been looking in my profile, but can't find anything..

Ok, thanks. If there's a list somewhere of 'updates for the future' that would be a nice one. :-)

I don't have any real expertise here, but personally I have not found that it damages books as long as it's just 'tight' and not causing any wrinkles or anything. But I would also weigh the value of the books... if they are really valuable, it may be worth the time invested time to just get them in the right sized bag.

I'd say just spend the time to get them in the right sized bags. Proper storage is key, and proper bag size is part of that, while you may not do damage with a tight fitting bag, you might, so why take the risk. The more I think about this the more I want to get some GA sized bags and do a bit of rebagging myself.

Looking forward to the updates! I went in and gave a 5 star. Personally I like the app, but these will add some great functionality.

X-Factor #15 Double Cover

I was bagging up some comics this morning, and noticed that the copy of X-Factor #15 (Death of Angel, first App of the Horsemen) had a double cover print error. I did a quick look around and saw that X-factor #24 has a known double cover print error, but didn't see anything about #15. Anyone know anything about that?

Thanks!

So, done a bit more looking around, and found that the whole double cover thing seems to just be something that happens. The grading companies seem to give the comic the grade that the inner cover would get. That sound about right to you all?

Hard to know exactly what it's called, but I've done searches in the US and 'all countries' under a bunch of name options so I figured I would turn here.

Thanks!

Does the indicia read, "Crisis on Infinite Earths 100-page Giant" as you list in the title? I don't think it's in the database so I need the exact title. Thanks for finding this.

Hey Ron, here's some info from the 'DC blog' https://www.dccomics.com/blog/2019/12/05/walmart-crisis-on-infinite-earths-100-page-giant-reveals-more-details-behind-the-cws

And when I look in the back of the book for the real 'name' I see "Crisis on Infinite Earths Giant #1 [Mass Market Edition]

Hope that helps.

They are usually in the front of the store (in my experience) up by the check out lanes where the collectible trading cards are.

Robert Pattinson's Batman costume

Take a look at Jake Gyllenhaal in Southpaw, he got huge for that role. The main issue with him would be his height as he's just under 6ft I think. But, it's not like they didn't have RDJ in high heels the whole time he played Iron Man, and Hugh Jackman is technically way to tall to play Wolverine :-)

Pattinson has the brooding aspect down and I'm sure he will nail that part of the Dark Knight. I just wonder about his physicality. He seems too thin for the role to me. They will bulk him up with padding so maybe it will be fine.

There are several actors who could pull it off in my mind, Luke Evans has the right build. I've seen a lot of sites say Jake Gyllenhaal but I don't see that.

As I mentioned, I'll give Pattinson a chance to impress.

Just wondering if there's an option somewhere that I'm not seeing that I can set up an alert (like once a week) if a comic in my collection has a gain or drop in value. I know I can just go up to my profile and see the most recent changes in my collection, but it would be cool to be able to get an alert in the app or my email saying 'Hey comic 'such and such' has gone up/down in value.

Thanks!

Missing Thumbnail (Dark Multiverse)

Happened to randomly notice that the cover was missing from Dark Multiverse - The Death of Superman. So I went in to update it, but then realized that the cover is there, just the thumbnail seems to be missing, or still showing the 'missing scan' icon. Just a fyi. Thanks! Hope everyone is staying safe.

I got a wild hair to have a complete run of Spawn for some reason (Had 1-50 from when I was a kid), so I've been tinkering around with that a bit. I reached out and picked up all the back issues the local shop had, and have been looking on ebay for lots before I start doing the single issues hunt.

Value Research and Suggesting

Hey y'all,

I know there's been discussion on updating or suggesting new values in the DB, and I know where to o in each issue to do it. I'm doing some research on my own for some lot buys on ebay, and wanted to know the best way to do the link. If I am looking at the value of say Spawn 249, and find 5 or 6 ended auctions in ebay, should I just put a link to that search on ebay for your viewing, and then do an average of the 5 or 6 as the suggested value on 9.4? Or do you want a link to each 5 or 6 auctions individually?

Just want to be sure I'm giving you the best information before I start dumping data on you. :-)

Thanks!
