Sauce Dog Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It has been a good deal of time since the 'new' website for gpanalysis has rolled out and I was curious on what other improvements the community might want from it. I have noticed they are not active on either of their social channels (twitter or Facebook) so the only way to send them any sort of bug/suggestion report is by way of the contact form (not ideal). My thinking is if there are other common suggestions the community wants we can collect them all and point them to this thread. I myself have been asking them to update the tile colors for Conserved books, as right now they share they same css style as the default color (restored). Thisis perhaps one of the easiest updates they can do which would bring it in line with CGCs modern labels (and make visually scanning the lists easier for relevant price data). Current GPA: Ideal Fixed GPA: Simply change it so the SPAN tag outputs with the class "c-badge--conserved" and add .c-badge--conserved { background-color: #777; } to the stylesheet. Easy peasy!

Callaway29 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 A view that lists recent sales, regardless of grade, in chronological order for any given book. Gocollect has this... Bluemedgroup and Sauce Dog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stronguy Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 I would love the ability to enter books I have slabbed in a certain grade into my collection that do not have a recorded sales. thunsicker, Artboy99, Shadow and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunsicker Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 With the huge amount of data George has amassed by this time I would love for him to hire a data scientist to do a multivariable analysis to try to get some kind of price guide rather than just price reporting functionality.

It would be great to actually Sort by Most Recent Sales or Sort by Highest Realized Price (descending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Definitely cover photos! They should really get someone to spend a months matching up GPA database to Comics.org. Displayed on each page or as a link to Comics.org…assuming there something in it for them. I wish CGC would do it too. And great idea of more sortable results for each comic. But beware what you wish for when the list for silver and bronze books is 300 deep with just 9.8s!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkseid of the Moon Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 The format for printing sales data. I use to print them out so I didn't have to constantly login to keep looking at the same books. Before the last overhaul, I was able to easily print out sales data for easy reference. Very organized and clean looking. Now, I don't even try because the formatting is all messed up/unreadable, and it prints way too many pages. We also used to be able to have multiple year tabs open under a specific grade to easily compare year to year prices of that grade. I used this to print the differences in prices over the years for specific grades. Now we can only have one year under a grade open... Another recommendation would be a horizontal bar or drop down box with letters that expand to your saved titles, instead of having to scroll down forever to find a certain saved title. The UI needs to be seriously reconsidered. I use GPA everyday and I actually liked it a lot better before the updates. The thing I like the most about GPA is the customer service. You can send them a message and they will literally get back to you in a matter of minutes to hours. Bluemedgroup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd4ever Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 On search results I would like to have the ability to sort by number of issues. So if I search for Batman, all the billion one-shots and mini's could appear after Batman And Detective and the bigger books. Maybe sort by Letter first, then number of issues. thunsicker and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inapicklecomics Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I'd love to be able to do an easier search for multiple printings. Also, just a basic title and number search, instead of having to search title only first. Photos would help, and so would just a new more user friendly look.

If you use the # sign you can search title and number. Like “Amazing Spider-Man #129” will take you to a list of all Comics that have Amazing Spider-Man in the title and an issue #129.

Can’t speak for everyone, but… I much prefer GoCollect’s interface. But GPA has a ton more data (both more current sources and more historical data.). It kind of depends on what you want to use it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, GC is much slicker, but if GPA has more data that seems like the obvious choice for me. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is amazing how often I have to tell people about this simple, basic AF, search syntax. Obviously GPA needs to perhaps advertise this someplace else on the website as it is clear many people are not getting it (which is funny because its one of the few ways to refine search results that 99% of comic collectors should discover accidentally just from entering their string!)

If I buy, I tell the seller, whichever has the lowest prices. thunsicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get George on board with this concept of a price guide many years ago, using a different method. And that was to interface raw book sales along with CGC graded books. This was before algos were really popular or well understood by the general public. He was on board with the idea but the discussion wasn't really productive here. Surprise.
