Wrong cover scan - should be a trade dress version of 1/P, is instead a copy of 1/V.

There are several instances where a comic has a blank cover (usually with title) and a blank back (usually with nothing on the back) that has been submitted as a wraparound image. Yes, the front and back make a seamless image, but when the seamless image is a blank canvas, does that qualify for receiving a wraparound cover scan? There are an even fewer number where the covers are a solid non-white color. Should these qualify for a wraparound scan? Sorry, don't have an example at the moment...

Wandered through looking at larger scans, and I tagged the following for improper scans that will be smaller when corrected. Most of them are improper wraparound covers that need cropping to a single panel - they have a cover image a a Title on the back. A couple look like they were submitted from a solicitation and show multiple variant covers in a single image. One or two are scans of a whole scanner bed that should be cropped.

Gotcha.

Was searching for wide covers and accidentally flipped my ratio and found tall covers instead (was going to do them eventually...) While wide covers resize the thumbnail to show the full width, making the image tiny (click to see full screen) but representing the full image, tall covers have a thumbnail that crops the middle of the image (still click to see full screen) and does not represent the full image. For examples, see CBO #3 and 4

Cover scans that aren't flat scans of the cover, but rather 3-D images of books. For example, X-Men (2nd Series) Bk 5/A. Are these acceptable in a pinch, but should be replaced by flat scans of any size? Are they acceptable to an equivalent-sized flat scan? Or should they be cleansed from the world with holy fire?

Clarification. As was my semi-typical, I had mis-typed the title. The two issues in question that had dual notes for me were 1/Hand 1/I, and not 1/F. both 1/H and 1/I had singular 300 notes on AtomicAvenue, and it was 1/H and 1/I that I submitted, both as 300. I had not touched 1/F and so should remain 350.

Sorry. Resubmit after my rebuild is done.

Okay, it appears my fingers were partially wrong and partially right... For me, the Notes for 1/H read "Limited to 350; Limited to 300; Includes Certificate of Authenticity" and the notes for 1/I read "Limited to 350; Limited to 300; Includes Certificate of Authenticity" Looking on AtomicAvenue, both only have the 300 number. Filling in as circulation and submitting.

Item Description or Notes fields with "limited to" "edition size" "numbered to" "approx" "printed" "of" "copies" "print run" but no entry in the Circulation field. 1,024 items with numbers copied to Circulation field, submitted.

Notes includes "Print run 1,500-2,000 copies". Is there a singular value?

Item Description states "limited edition of 14", Notes states "Limited to #15". Which one is right?

Notes both have conflicting Limited edition sizes, 350 and 300. Any idea which is correct?

Thank you. Looking closer, 6/B does connect to 5/B, not WotR:New Agents of Atlas 1/B. I had put too much trust in the fandom wiki image of the map, which located Muspelheim above the roots, and thus I thought the tree-part on the top of the 6/B cover was a continuation of the branch on Atlas 1/B. A closer look at the two covers shows that the map has been drawn differently, Muspelheim in this presentation is being drawn under the roots, and the tree-part on the top of the 6/B cover is a continuation of the roots on 5/B. Regardless of this cover's positioning, we're all in agreement that this is still a 10-ptych, despite it not forming a complete rectangular collage, yes?

My assessment is, yes. Past connecting images haven't always exactly matched up at the edges, there are sometimes small gaps between the images. The background is definitely a single image; I provided a link to a site with a version of that image. This appears to be the first connected image I know of that doesn't make a solid rectangle.

I run a secondary monitor with my laptop. When I run ComicBase on the secondary monitor, popup windows and status messages appear centered on the primary window, blocking what's on the other monitor and requiring me to move my mouse back and forth between monitors. It would be nice if they would show up on the monitor that is currently showing the main window.

with a "..." ?

Haven't found one (well three) yet... Also, haven't submitted any yet... I think another week before I'm happy with my current efforts. Whatever we wish to call them, discovering and separately labeling them from the ptychs that they aren't is a useful task. Can always do a search for 'twin cover' and resubmit with a different wording.

All gone now.

Title removed. Thank you

House of X #1/Q now deleted. So, is there a diptych cover to match with Powers of X #1/Q?

Cover updated. Thanks.

Updated scans for Magic: Master of Metal issues. Thank you. However, by revealing 1/C is a virgin variant of 1/A, this now begs the question on the covers of the other 4 issues of the 5-ptych that brought this to my attention in the first place, Miguel Mercado covers of issues 1-4 of Magic: The Hidden Planeswalker.

Well.... On the plus side, "House of Secrets (2nd Series)" has capitalized Series on the Title title now. Thanks. On the minus side, I searched for INSTR(I.Title, ' series') > 0 and found 1,761 rows (issues, not titles) where you had found 1,572, so it went up... On the, minus side?, several of those I found were "House of Secrets (2nd series)", showing that the search was for the more hidden duplicated issue-by-issue title field and not the primary one-per-title Title field. Searched for INSTR(ComicTitles.Title, ' series') > 0 and found 480 returns.
