  1. #5 and #6 have signed retailer incentives but again, there is no indication (beyond what I assume was the initial solicitation) that these exist.  I'm afraid FMP overestimated the memory of collectors and with no huge push of reprints of the first series, only Mr. Miller's die hard fans really took interest.  It's a shame, the first series was mind blowing and this was a solid follow up for the first 2 books, can't say on the rest as it has been so slow to see print that even I lost interest. 

  2. They are there now, mostly.  My regular database is there as well as the test database but like before, I can't get to the second db on the dropdown.  I click it and looks like it will work then it jumps back to the other one without the ability access the reports.  

  3. 16 hours ago, Steven L. Dasinger said:

    Sorry, I first put in issue #8 by mistake. When I corrected it, I use Strike-through to show what it was with the corrected 6 by it (you can see the real issue number in the attachment). I see now that an '8' with strike-through doesn't really show that very will, I should have put a space between it and the correct '6'.

    Now that I know to look for the slash, it's easy to see.  I don't know that I would have picked up on it otherwise!

     

  4. I'm back on this again.  

    Online, both databases are in the drop down but even when I select the second one, it goes back to the first.  On the mobile app, both are available and I can select the second but neither has any reports available.  Prior to uploading today, I deleted all of my old reports which standard for me.  I've waited three hours for my latest uploads to show up but there's nothing there.  

    It may be a matter of time again.

  5. #3 in CB indicates that there is a 1:25 retail incentive cover as well as a 1:50 signed retail incentive cover but I can't find evidence of these.  #3 does have a Frank Miller cover and on the first two issues, his covers were retailer incentives but I'm guessing that the abysmal sales had them change the plan for the remaining books in the series.  I suggest that #3-A be the Frank Miller cover with no incentive notation and the #3-B be removed. 

    #4 is closer with the Miller cover (#4-B) not being listed as an incentive.  #4-C is supposed to be a signed incentive but again, no indication that it might actually exist as such. 

  6. The Title "Comics: The Golden Age" published by Hal Schuster has incorrect dates in the title information.  It is listed as "1985, 1987, 1989" but actually ran from March 1984 thru March 1985.  #1 had $9.95 listed as the cover price but the pic shows "Six Dollars" on the cover.  I am unable to find evidence of second or third printings of #1 and it seems unlikely that this title would have had any kind of demand warranting multiple printings.  Additionally, #3 has the wrong picture associated with it.  The correct pic is below.  I tried to submit it but I am guessing it is smaller than the current pic.

  7. Turns out that there are at least three versions of this one.  There may be more depending upon whether the "foil" versions are actually foil or just extremely glossy.  

    The one with the oversized classic Detective Comics logo UPC 76194137788900131

    The one with the more modern small logo in the upper left corner UPC 76194137788900141

    And a third "virgin" cover UPC 76194137788900151

  8. Does anyone know where this one came from?  I have searched for it pretty extensively but have come up empty handed.  There is a mention of a variant of the first issue from 1940 without a period in the "No 1" on the top left of the cover but it's not a second print. 

  9. Frank Miller's Ronin Book II #3 & #4 have issues listed that I am unable to verify anywhere including FrankMillerPresents.com

    #3 in CB indicates that there is a 1:25 retail incentive cover as well as a 1:50 signed retail incentive cover but I can't find evidence of these.  #3 does have a Frank Miller cover and on the first two issues, his covers were retailer incentives but I'm guessing that the abysmal sales had them change the plan for the remaining books in the series.  I suggest that #3-A be the Frank Miller cover with no incentive notation and the #3-B be removed. 

    #4 is closer with the Miller cover (#4-B) not being listed as an incentive.  #4-C is supposed to be a signed incentive but again, no indication that it might actually exist as such. 

    I feel like most the the Frank Miller Presents books have had problems in CB.  I don't know if they're solicited with UPCs that get changed or what but I think I have run into problems entering Ancient Enemies and Pandora as well.  Nothing serious, it all likely stems from the publisher, but I am curious if anyone else has picked up on this.  My memory isn't what it used to be. 

  10. On The Trials of Ultraman, #2-B. 3-B, and 4-B all have "TV Photo Variant Cover by Arthur Adams" in the description field.  If it's a photo cover, it's not by Arthur Adams. 

    #4-B also has the wrong cover attached.  I tried to submit the correct cover but it didn't take.

  11. Happened upon this by complete accident, but under the title "Door to Door, Night by Night" from Vault, in the picture folder there are 28 covers for "Dumbo (Ediciones Recreativas S. A.)."  The covers also appear in their own title so these appear to be unneeded duplicates.
