Newly added Book title National Lampoon Comics: the contents of this appear to be comics based on an Amazon preview (and the CB title description calls it an "anthology of comics"), so I suggest that this should be moved to the Comics media category. Newly added Comic title Silly Symphonies: A Companion to the Classic Cartoon Series (Walt Disney’s…): based on the cover scan, this looks to be a duplicate of the already existing comic title Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies 1932-1935: Starring Bucky Bug and Donald Duck. Newly added Comic title Unforegettable Con, The: note that this contains a spelling error (should be Unforgettable Con, The ). Newly added Comic title New York Comic Con: What is this? Is this a convention program, a comic, or a promotional pamphlet of some sort?

The Notes field for 21 Down Deluxe Set #1 still need to be corrected.

This still needs to be done.

Marc indicated back in the fall that this was going to be taken care of (note his response to my post), so it is a little curious that this was either still hanging around or came back.

The latest content update added the title The Red Shetland Calendar to the Magazines category. As discussed previously on these boards, calendars should go in the Books category (there is a "Calendar" binding type in that category just for that kind of publication). The new comic title Autumn People (Ray Bradbury's...) was added to Comic Books. • The title should really be Autumn People (Ray Bradbury's…) [hard to see here on these boards, but the title that was added had three periods instead of the single character three dots[ellipsis]). • Everything I am finding online indicates that the title also includes "The" in it, so that needs to be fixed as well.

The database has never handled pseudonyms very well. It has been brought up multiple times over the last few years, I am hoping that @Peter R. Bickford will finally tackle this in CB 2026.

Currently AA does not support sellers posting scans of their actual copies for sale. Once long long ago (more than one year ago, probably much longer than that) I think Pete hinted on a Livestream that might change.

I would argue that the programming behind CB should be updated to sort that out properly.

Atomic Avenue might benefit from this also.

IMO it depends on the cover used in the reprint. If it is cover A, then I agree, the reprint should be #1/A-2. If it is an entirely new cover, then I would lean towards #1-2.

This week's update added Buster Brown's Safety Coloring Book to the Comic category. Does this have any comic story content? Does this belong in Comics or in Books? (Most coloring books go into the Books section, but Buster Brown did start out as a comic strip, so somebody with knowledge of the actual contents will need to weigh in on this one.) Also added was the comic title Walt Disney's Donald Duck: Frozen Gold. Is there a particular reason why this title wasn't formatted as Donald Duck: Frozen Gold (Walt Disney's...) ? [see also the discussion over in this thread]

My guess is that it would be the latter. Like you, my recollection is that the good background was indicative of being a 2nd print and that only the first printings of X-Force #1 were polybagged with a trading card. But maybe Heritage or some other authority has evidence to the contrary?

GCD indicates that the negative Cap exists for this issue but their wording avoids calling those issues second printings. GCD states 6 versions (bagged w/ five different cards, unbagged gold second print)… but then they go on to say that each has both positive and negative Cap versions which (based on their wording) means that there should actually be TWELVE variants listed. This assumes that GCD’s wording is technically precise, of course. The current CB listings don’t match the GCD description of the state of affairs for X-Force #1 and I would suggest that the use of the “2nd printing” descriptor for the negative Cap versions should be changed to something else. If the negative Cap versions aren’t indicative of second printings then they may indeed be much less common than other versions. Like you, I would expect the unbagged gold positive Cap to be less valuable than the first print versions of any type.

This is actually a situation where at least one of the issues of Zdarsky Comic News got catalogued under the Comic Book category and the update moves the entry to the Magazine category.

This week's update added the Book title Oldguy. Superhero. Based on the cover scan, it looks like this should really be titled Oldguy: Superhero . • Also, the item under this title is designated as "Single Issue Magazine". If this is a single issue magazine, why isn't it indexed under the Magazine media category? The title Dinosaur Comics Sketchbook was added to the Comics category. Does this actually contain any comic stories? If not, what media category should this go into?
