Fred Slota Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I'm not sure if this was covered in an earlier video, I haven't watched the whole back catalog, but I think a good topic I would like to see a couple of examples of what a reviewer of submissions sees when reviewing submissions and how they process them. A couple of examples would be helpful - a wholly new issue, an edited Title description, an edited Notes, a newly-supplied Cover Artist, etc. What kinds of things are easily recognized, what kinds of things are best warned about ahead of time (and how to bring them up, and to whom). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 If this can actually be shown, it sounds like a good idea. The topic was mentioned at least once but not in great detail. In general: If a change to an existing Publisher/Title/Issue # (which uniquely identifies an item) is sent and not part of the unique items), the process can compare the submission with the Master Database and display the differences (with changes high-lighted in some fashion, I believe). If a change is a new submission, there would be nothing to compare. This is important because if a change is made to anything that is needed to uniquely identify an entry (Publisher/Title/Issue #), it will look like a new submission since it can't be found in the Master Database. These types of changes would need to be brought to HC's attention through an email to Support, on Slack (if you can) or here in the forums.

Fred Slota Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Screen captures of the process showing the highlighted comparisons of some submissions would do, it wouldn't have to be a live processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Thought for a brief segment on the next ComicBase TV... Dissection of a UPC code. Current practices, past practices, compare and contrast how different publishers handle them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Hecht Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Just a heads up for folks that haven't listened to Wednesday's Livestream (6/15) yet that there may or may not be a show next week (6/22) as @Peter R. Bickford is might not be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy S. Kilbreath Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, Pete mentioned filing cabinets for storing comics. If you use Facebook, there is a group I follow that deals specifically with comic collectors who use filing cabinets to store their collections. The Facebook page/group goes by the name of "Comic File Cabinets" https://www.facebook.com/groups/555329177952584/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Brock Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Question: A few weeks back CGC announced on their website that they would start recognizing and identifying newsstand and multi-pack editions of comics on their labels. Do you think this effectively ends the debate (for all practical purposes) on if these editions of comic books should be treated as different/variants related to the direct edition versions? If so, how will CB change to address this new reality for the collecting community? CGC Now Recognizes Newsstand Editions and Multi-Packs on CGC Label | CGC (cgccomics.com) Thanks!

Gregory Hecht Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 So in yesterday's Livestream, @Peter R. Bickford said that we should be posting our drink recipes. I checked with Pete, and he said the recipes should go in this thread rather than start a new one. My Gingerbread Old Fashioned recipe: • 1 part Bittermilk #7 (Bittermilk website; Amazon link for Bittermilk #7) • 4 parts bourbon whiskey or rye whiskey (with higher proof whiskeys, I will often 2 parts whiskey and 2 parts ginger ale) • stir and add ice • optional: garnish with an orange wedge and/or maraschino cherry You can also make a "Shirley Temple" version for people and/or occasions where alcohol not preferred: • add a generous drop of maraschino syrup to an old fashioned glass • 1 part Bittermilk #7 • 4 parts ginger ale • stir and add ice Stay tuned for Pete's Sugar Cookie Martini recipe! If he doesn't post it in a couple of days, I will start pestering him on Slack. I hope that everybody has a great set of holidays (no matter which ones you observe)!

Peter R. Bickford Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Sugar Cookie Martini (adapted from Wholefully) Tastes like a sugar cookie with a slight hint of almond/apricot from the Amaretto. Delicious, but loaded with calories, so save these for a special occasion! Ingredients: - Vanilla frosting and sprinkles for rimming the glass... OR... Regular sugar (or green/red colored sugar if you're feeling festive). Pro tip: Double all the following to serve two drinks out of the same shaker (After all, who wants to drink alone?) - 1.5 oz Vanilla vodka - 1.5 oz Irish cream - 2 oz. whole milk (1/4 cup) - 3/4 oz Amaretto - 1 tsp. powdered sugar (can be omitted to drop a few calories if you like) - Ice Steps 1. EITHER: - Rim the glass with frosting/red/green sprinkles. Yes, this seems insane, but the drink really needs this hit of sweetness. So if you choose to not do frosting, at least... - Wet the edge of the glass with water, then briefly dip it into a plate with sugar on it to rim the glass. Use red/green colored sugar if available for a more festive look. 2. In a cocktail shaker loaded with ice, add the vanilla vodka, Irish cream, milk, amaretto, powdered sugar, and ice. Close the lid and shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds 3. Pour into the sugar or frosting-rimmed glass and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Robertson Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I think ole Pete was a little buzzed by about the half way point of this live stream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Slota Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Repoke suggestion for a Livestream conversation (assuming it didn't already happen, I missed few). Would like to see what new and modified information submissions look like from their side of the screen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edison R. Brito Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Suggestiuon: A "ComicBase TV: Video Guides and Tips" YouTube video (or future livestream episode), shwoing each step involved in merging separate databases together. Especially how to go back to the original databases in case we do not like the outcome of the merger and would prefer to go back to how it was in the beginning.

Larry Robertson Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I don't know if Pete is aware but StreamYard has a nifty built in feature to draw a name from the chat at random based on them putting in a word....like PETERPARKER if the question was Spider-Man's identity. That way he would never again have to figure out who was first with the correct answer. He would say "you have 10 seconds (or whatever) to tyep the correct answer" (and tell the chat to use no spaces)..then when he hits DRAW it randomly selects a chatter with that answer. It even has a cool animation for the draw. And no I do not work for StreamYard I've just been in a LOT of YT LiveStreams running StreamYard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
