  1. Thanks, Steven. I did the Rebuild Lists action and that fixed things. I appreciate the help!
  2. Okay, I have another question regarding "value" in ComicBase. When I run the Collection Statistics and choose to Show Breakdown by: Value, I get the info shown below: If my Value Range is between $2,500 and $5000 and I have 1 comic in that range, shouldn't my minimum Total Value be at least $2,500, not the $370 ComicBase shows? The same for if the Value Range is between $1,000 and $2,499 and I have 9 comics, my minimum Total Value should be at least $9,000.
  3. Steven, When I run the Collection Statistics for my collection, it shows 1 comic with a Total Value of $375 and a Total Price of $3000. I have not touched the Setup menu to customize the Grading Setup at all. With this difference between the amounts, I'm unsure as to what my comic is worth. This is the case for all of my comics in the Price Range of "Between $250 and $499" and up, where the Total Value and the Total Price are vastly different, with the Total Value being much less than the Total Price. The $375/$3000 comic I mentioned first is The Amazing Spider-Man (first series), issue 238, with a Condition of CGC 9.8. In one of the most recent ComicBase podcasts, Pete said that we could run the report, "Most Valuable Comic Books", to give to, say, our insurance company. When I run that report, my highest values top off at $598.50 and go down to $155 (when I have it list the top 25). Also, when I run Collection Statistics, it shows my collection's Current Value as $65,009.17 while the Asking Price is $80,097.03. (Again, I have not manually set any prices in the database.) Thus, this shows MY confusion with Price vs. Value.
  4. My hope/thought was that you would be able to select from all of the comics or just the ones you own.
  5. I am wondering if there might be a possibility of the screensaver showing only comics I own? I have a lot of comics, and forget what I have, so that would be a nice reminder. Thanks!
  6. Mark, yes, the latest content update shows the proper date and time. Thanks!
  7. The last few times that I have updated my database with Sidekick, the "Update database content" section on the main Sidekick screen doesn't update to the current update date. I have downloaded and updated the program for the last few updates to version 23.0.0.1974 and this error hasn't been fixed. Just wanted to let someone know. The most recent time I have updated with Sidekick was just now, 10/29/22 at 5:50 pm. Tim
  8. Hi. I just updated to ComicBase 23.0.0.1957. I am using the FIND dialogue box at the top of the ComicBase screen to search for Spider-Man. The search results only gave me through Spider-Man: City at War and won't load anymore Spider-Man titles. I'm actually looking for Peter Parker the Spectacular Spider-Man from around the 70's, but I cannot find that either, so I was wanting to scroll through the Spider-Man titles. Any ideas?

  9. There was a little discussion in the chat bar last week about storage for comic books. I would like to see Pete address that topic, say what he uses, and maybe what some of the other ComicBase people use. Thanks!
  10. Yeah, I don't know why I submitted the Teen Titans autographed one; my mistake. Sorry about that. To check about titles with the editors, should I contact them through the "support@comicbase.com" address? Thanks for all of your help with this. It's nice having people that know a lot about this stuff.
  11. Yes, most of the ones that I am entering are from a local auction, and I think that they aren't in CB yet. Should I enter all of these obscure ones into the database and upload for inclusion? Captain Marvel 15/D is a convention exclusive that I received that I haven't seen in CB. It has a completely different cover, as shown below. Naomi 1/B is also a convention exclusive.
  12. Here are the titles: Unrecognized Comic Titles Biblical Proportions Jacques Da-Cock Omega Comics Presents Stranger Scuttlebutt The Medicine Man The Medicine Man (1996) And here are the issues: Unrecognized Comics Aim (Vol. 2) 2 Biblical Proportions 1 Captain Marvel (11th Series) 15/D Jacques Da-Cock 1 Jacques Da-Cock 2 Naomi 1/B Omega Comics Presents Stranger 1 Scuttlebutt SE 1 Teen Titans (5th Series) 16/AUT The Medicine Man 1 The Medicine Man (1996) 1 The Medicine Man (1996) 2 The Medicine Man (1996) 3 The Medicine Man (1996) 4
  13. How long does it take for the new titles and issues to show up in the download? I did some this past weekend, and downloaded the most recent update today, and they are all listed as titles/issues that don't match. I'm just anxious to see what changes the CB staff did to my entries so that I can learn from that. Thanks!
  14. I know that this is probably a long shot, but I don't necessarily want to eliminate all magazines and books; I don't need, say, 50,000 issues of the New York Times in my database, but I would like to have the magazines and books catalogue my comics-related items. Actually, I preferred them in the comics portion of the database before they were split off. The magazines and books info could make the database HUGE in the future. Is there something that can be done to re-focus ComicBase to the "Comic" and related items part of the database? On a related note, is ComicBase planning to track values for everything that gets added to Magazines and Books?
  15. One more question for you: What would you suggest that I do after I enter new information and submit it? My first one I entered weeks ago showed up in the weekly update with a different issue number than what I gave it, so then I had two entries for it. Should I just keep track of what I submit and then go back and check them all after the new update comes out, and delete any of my original entries that got changed by CB? Thanks for all of your help!
