Thanks!

Just ran the latest update and Jet Powers #1 was removed. It's also known as A-1 #30. Any idea where it is now in the dB?

This dropped 92% in the latest update. That makes no sense. Can you look into it? Y: The Last Man #1

1st Jamie Reyes Blue Beetle - CGC 9.6 sold for $113 today MCS Listing

I upgraded the App to v23.1.0.2206. I did a content update on a blank dB and it completed fine. I opened my dB. I rebuilt all the lists, then optimized it. I did a content update and it completed fine as well. Not sure which step cleared up the problem, but it's fine now.

Mark, That was the very first this I tried. It didn't make any difference. I get the same error at the same point. My dB is up to date and saved in your cloud if you want to look at it. ComicBase Database.cbdb

I updated the SW to v23.1.0.2177. The then processed the January 24th content update. It keeps crashing near the end when checking Variants.

Someone has a Fine copy listed for $255 on AA. This has skewed the valuation in CB. Sub-Mariner SE1 Can you review this listing and fix it?

The valuation of this issue is getting to a ridiculous level: Blade #1 This is a Dollar bin issue. Can you review and fix it?

Adrian, this is a common and serious flaw in CB pricing algorithm. They base part of the price on the offered sales prices in AA. There are 6 seriously overpriced comics for sale for Superior Iron Man #8 right now. Those all get folded into the new 'value' in the weekly update. If there are no other sales, then the ONLY factor in the price will be those for sale. If any seller automatically adjusts their selling price based on the new update, then their issue for sale goes up (or down) every week! This is a serious problem that I have pointed out for years with using 'for sale' prices in AA. If the issue is widely traded, it's not that big of a deal. But if there aren't a lot of sales, then it radically skews the prices up or down depending on the sellers pricing. I wish CB would just drop the whole for sales pricing part of the model. But, it's always been this way and it's a problem.

It's been like this for years. Little data in those fields. I stay up to date on the Interim versions and let CB update anything it has data for. See attached.

I don't use Sidekick to do the updates. I only update using the CB application. I allow the update to make all changes. No, there is nothing in those fields for FF (6th) #48. See attached

For some time now, in my dB, I don't have very much in the Writer/Storyline/Artist/etc. columns. It's maybe 5% filled out. Should this be in the dB for Express users? If so, how do I get it restored? A weekly update isn't populating those fields that are missing data.

I guess I missed the announcement on this. I was on Atomic Avenue today and the current value for a give issue is no longer presented. Why was this removed and when did it happen? I liked having it there.

I am only an Express user. When I go to my Registration page and click to download v23, I am only offered the Archive edition. Is my download link pointing to the wrong file?
