  1. I will send a note to customer service and see if i can find out what is going on.
  2. Our goal is to always try to take care of FIFO. Moving everything to a different location makes this more difficult. The team knows to keep an eye out for your 2 submissions. I hope they are located soon.
  3. I am not sure. I have brought this up to web help and the Senior Site Reliability Engineer several times. They are not able to duplicate it.
  4. Those might have been a result of the move which took several days. I feel that the new setup will help things to flow more smoothly, in regards to the FIFO and other issues that people have been experiencing.
  5. Outside of some unboxing/re-arranging, the move should be completed.
  6. Thank you for understanding. I will say that I feel the in house move we have been doing is going to improve things.
  7. For something like this, I have been asked to refer customers to customer service. This will avoid people getting different answers.
  8. It's been this way for the nearly 19 years that I have been here. I blame Arch... Seriously, I could change it but, it might show favoritism.
  9. Any info you can present to me that will help keep the database accurate, would be greatly appreciated. This will also help us to keep it accurate going forward.
  10. I am sorry this has happened to you. I sent the operations manager another e-mail.
  11. I don't want to see any more threads like this in Comics General, or any other forum here for that matter. Threads like this prevent new people from joining the forum, and cause disagreements between members. These disagreements cause additional problems down the road. It's a vicious cycle that will not be allowed here. This is a free warning...
  12. Hi Customer service can assist you with this. I can change your forum name, but if it is not done internally, it might revert back to the old one. @MattM CS
  13. You would need to contact the signature series team directly, and ask them. Here is the e-mail address. SignatureSeries@cgccomics.com
  14. @Ringfinger His reply was something like "I funnied my own post he he" A man of few words.
  15. Hi You do not have to send us a box or shipping label. That is included in the return shipping fees. Mike
  16. Some of this doesn't make much sense but, I think The topics, posts, PM's and reactions are fairly accurate.
  17. This post makes it sound like you have been here a long time.
  18. I do not know. I have been around for 19 years. During that time, there were several board software changes. "The big switch" in 2008? was the end of the world, just like the Invision switch February 2017. Anyone remember that right column? There was a switch to turn it off. I expect everyone who did not read that post on how to shut it off, had to live with it for many years. People have been coming and going since the forum existed. Read some of the really old threads. There is a ton of people who left many years ago. Most all didn't give a reason why. They just stopped posting. Prior to 2017, there was no reaction feature. When one was added with Invision, the number of posts declined. That's because people didn't have to quote someone to let them know how they felt about their post.
  19. Here is another batch sent to me from our database specialist. ADAMANTIUM This is going to sound hum drum as well, but here goes: 2nd appearances of Deadpool and Harley Quinn in continuity? Ie x-force #2 and Batman #570? Would be nice to nail those down, as they've been touted as such for so long, might as well get in on it to substantiate? Imo, but idk both are really modern, and idk that 2nd app get notated that much on those, but bare in mind, it's been 30 years >> The label for X-Force #2 has stated "2nd appearance of Deadpool" for as long as I can remember. For Harley Quinn, it is a bit different, as she made several (out-of-continuity) comic book appearances before Batman #570. CGC has Key Comments for characters that state "1st appearance of...", "2nd appearance of...." and "1st appearance of ______ in continuity", but I don't know if we need to start adding "2nd appearance of ______ in continuity." IcedDog Star Wars: The High Republic #1 (Marvel Comics, 12/22) - 1st appearance of Vildar Mac, Matthea Cathley, Oliviah Zeveron, and Tey Sirrek in comics. All are main characters in this run, thanks.>> These characters' first appearances (and a few others who appear in that issue) have now been added. jjfversion1 Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein #1 - First Appearance of Eric Frankenstein Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein #3 - First Appearance of Bride of Frankenstein>> This one seems complicated as the characters appear to be linked to their literary namesakes and some other comic book appearances. I feel that we need more data confirming that these are separate characters and that the issues in question are indeed their first appearances. The websites and references that I have found so far are not conclusive. ADAMANTIUM Can we add star wars #5 mace windu As the first in continuity of Ahsoka? It's being sold for a long time as such, and promoted also as such by other media, would be nice to confirm with cgc. >>> This is another request that is made very complicated by the character's multi-media history. The appearances that the character made in Dark Horse Comics were in continuity until Marvel resumed having the rights to Sar Wars, and then those appearances were retroactively made to be out of continuity. A comic could be argued to have a character's "first appearance in Marvel Comics" but I don't think that Mace Windu #5 would apply in that case. The character doesn't actually appear "in person", so to speak, but instead is seen a one-panel montage of a vision of various characters. Domo Arigato Not sure were this Action Comics #61 notation error originated (Overstreet?).....but it's not correct. Superman is not fighting atomic radiation on the cover. He's fighting an oil well fire. How do you tell?: The four huge oil drilling rigs in the background. The massive fire and black smoke shooting out of the hole in the ground (why would atomic radiation cause fire and smoke to shoot out of the ground?). The men are not wearing radiation suits. They are suits used for fighting oil well fires to protect them from the flames and intense heat (Link to fire fighting equipment....see an image of a similar suit below from that linked page). You can see the exact same type of oil drilling rigs (and fire) in the picture at the bottom of this post. The comic is from 1943...well before the first detonation of a nuclear device, and before the general public was even aware of them. Edit: For those thinking this sounds familiar.....I discussed the same topic in this thread two years ago.>> Apparently, the Key Comment for this issue used to be simply "Classic cover", but at some point was updated to "Historic Atomic radiation cover". From the imagery on the cover, it does appear conclusively that it depicts firefighters at an oil well, and is not related to radiation. The Key Comment has now been changed back to "Classic cover." Stefan_W This is more a CGC Census thing than a slab notation, but for Batman 608 there is a 2nd printing error variant that is noted as such on the slab. However, the census does not distinguish the error variants and groups all of the 2nd print 608s together. As a result, there is no way of knowing how uncommon this error variant is. >> There does not appear to be a large enough percentage of error copies to warrant breaking out as a separate variant. Out of the 2200+ copies we have graded thus far, 19 of the copies include this error.
