That is strange since The Spectacular Spider-Man (1976-1998) doesn't even have a 286 issue.

Since you have a Search Results display, what did you use to run the Search?

I would try File Tools->Rebuild Lists (Mainly Series Information but others won't hurt), then Optimize Database and see what happens.

Tried it and still time same

Does any one else out there see the same anomaly?

The odd part just the Issues # is the same all the other info is different

Think i found it 
I did a Advance Search 
where title like '%spider%' and storyline = 'When Strikes Octopus!! '

all the field match except issue#

still a open ticket

Can you supply the exact Advance Find values you used.  I tried:

I.[Title] LIKE '%Spider%' and I.[Storylines]= 'When Strikes Octopus!!'

And I only get the 2 Items for #124 (regular and Mark Jeweler).

What you have is not normal and I am trying to figure out what is happening but I need exact steps to follow.

I.[Title] like '%spider%' and I.[Storylines] = 'When Strikes Octopus!!'

 

Backstory I was changing the value in the Box#(custom field one) for Spectacular Spider-Man, The when i do this i download all covers.   In one of the first screen shots I posted issues 286/B caught my eye since there was 8+ records for the same issues #,  based on the limited responses I am the only one that has it.  I simplest thing to do is just delete them and go on with life, then i saw that the other data elements where different.  So i got a wild hair and thought lets search on Storyline limited to titles with spider in title and see what pops.  When i do the Advance search it pulls three(3) records from the DB the two you stated and the third one 286/B.  

I can't say over the last 10+yrs i have never inserted (added) a comic book, but i can say if i have you could count them on one hand.   Again the easiest thing for me is to just delete these false records, and go on with life, but this would not help you and the product out. 

 

Thanks
