  1. Erroneous pricing does happen on occasion in ComicBase. This is inevitable for a variety of reasons, especially when the program lists such a large number of items for which I suspect many of them (especially obscure issues) don't necessarily have a lot of transactional data to track in a given calendar year. (As I understand it, CB mostly uses Heritage Auctions and Atomic Avenue for tracking values; automatically tracking eBay transactions can be difficult for a variety of reasons.) If you find specific items in ComicBase that are you believe are substantially divergent from current market values, you can use the Request Price Check feature in the program to alert the folks at Human Computing. Note that the HC team will want you to specify where you are getting your information, and they will prefer to see data regarding completed transactions when possible.
  2. Yeah, Automatch is great except when it isn’t. Makes me hesitant to use the feature bc I don’t want to take a chance on missing these kinds of “left field” mismatches and end up with erroneous inventory data in my database.
  3. New comic title: Archie Meets Jay and Silient Bob That should probably be Archie Meets Jay and Silent Bob (fixing the typo in "Silent")
  4. And, as expected, this morning I received notice that issue #2 of Defiant has also been cancelled. The more interesting part is that this notice says that this item will eventually be resolicited. So one of the two notifications is not entirely correct. Be that as it may, this title and all of its issues should be deleted from the database unless or until there is an actual official resolicitation.
  5. I just received notice that Defiant #1 has been cancelled. DSTLRY apparently says that they will not resolicit. I haven't received word about #2, but one would presume that issue will also be cancelled.
  6. FWIW the current update summary on the CB home page lists all or most of the changes reflected in your post, but not the MMW deletions.
  7. I haven’t run this week’s content update on my database yet, but all or most of these issues appear to be in the master database (based on what I see on Atomic Ave) at the time I am writing this. Has there been another update since you posted that restored the deleted issues?
  8. If I understand you correctly, you are asking for the following changes: • Create a new issue #280, move all existing info including cover scan from #280/A to #280 • Move all existing info including cover scan from #280/B to #280/A • Move all existing info including cover scan from #280/C to #280/B • Remove #280/C The problem with that is that somebody who has (for example) the Potocki cover in their inventory will end up having a database that says that they have the Mozchops cover in their inventory. Similarly, somebody who owns the English cover will end up with a database that says they have the Potocki cover in their inventory. It might be one thing if the contents page of #280 assigned A, B, and C variants to these covers and CB has them mixed up. But they simply list the covers without letters, so what CB has isn't contradictory. And, for what it's worth, CB lists the three variant covers in the same order as the contents page of #280.
  9. Can you explain which issues you are proposing to change, i.e., current designation for the issue and the proposed new designations? It isn't clear from your post.
  10. Prices get updated with each weekly content update. In theory, you might have comics for which there is no new pricing information (knowing that a month is a relatively short period of time and knowing nothing about the contents of your collection). Pricing information *generally* comes from Atomic Avenue sales and Heritage auction results, along with the occasional "price check corrections" for specific issues as requested by individual CB users. Also, be sure that you have your content update settings chosen to allow updates to the prices of items in your database. If you have certain settings checked, pricing information won't be updated. In such a situation, the value of your collection would only change as you add or remove items from your inventory.
  11. New Comic title added: Gunpowder n Is this an erroneous duplication of Gunpowder ? Also, both of these titles list Date of Publication as 2024, but the cover dates for issues #1 and #1/A are both October 2023. New Comic title added: 'Marvel Knights: The World to Come I assume that the apostrophe at the start of the title is a typo. Also, clicking to this title from the search bar on Atomic Avenue does not work (I assume that this is b/c it starts with a punctuation mark rather than an alphanumeric character.)

  12. I stand corrected. First apparently did put out a $19.95 tpb in 1988.
  13. A 19.95 cover price would have been very unusual for First Comics back when they were publishing. Without having done any research, my suspicion is that either somebody (improperly) grafted a more modern tpb to the First Graphic Novel title or incorrect issue info has been input into the First Graphic Novel #22 entry.
  14. Are you trying to submit changes to individual issues from your database or actual title changes from your database? if the latter, that has to be submitted either via email, this message board, or (if you are on it) Human Computing’s Slack. See this thread for more.
