Final Picks have been made.  

Winners will be announced July 21st.  

Between now and then, I will be doing some much needed maintenance in the Collector's Society. 

I am looking forward to the official announcement. There was stiff competition this year.  I think this year's winners represent the very best the Comic Registry has to offer.    

Again, thank you to everyone that participated, and contributed their thoughts and time to the 2023 Registry Awards!

Awesome news.  

thank you

I am not a judge for the registry awards.  However, I do not believe it has to be a complete set to be "in the run".

Here is last year's signature Series winner.

Best Signature Series Set

Sauce Dog – Moonlit Nostalgia Moon Knight Vol 2 (1985)
The second volume of Marc Spector’s life as the Moon Knight finds him abandoning it. With Marlene Alraune at his side actively threatening an ultimatum if he picks up the cloak again, Marc has chosen to settle into the life of a philanthropic millionaire. Things go well until Khonshu brings Specter back to Egypt to reinforce their relationship as new enemies arise. Spector must once again become Moon Knight, the Fist of Khonshu!

Though short-lived at only six issues due to an abrupt cancellation, Fist of Khonshu is a potent series full of great writing with Alan Zelenetz for the first four issues, and Chris Warner – pulling double duty as the series penciller throughout – Jo Duffy, and Jim Owsley scripting for the last two.

Sauce Dog put together this mighty little Moon Knight set in a straight run of 9.8, but the work had only just begun. Sauce Dog decided to make it even better by adding Signature Series to each issue! Moon Knight creator Doug Moench has signed all six books of the Moonlight Nostalgia set, and Sauce Dog has displayed them in high resolution along with great owner comments in the set gallery.

Great writing from Sauce Dog is also included in the presentation of The Moonlit Nostalgia set, giving more details about the issues themselves as well as great look into how Sauce Dog was first introduced to Moon Knight and why this was the set to collect! All of this is wrapped up in great custom graphics; this set really pops and we’d like to invite anyone to take a look at it.

Signature Series is part of the heart and soul of CGC, and those who like to add the iconic Signature Series yellow labels to their collection are some of the most dedicated collectors we’ve met! Sauce Dog is certainly among them and it really shows in the Moonlit Nostalgia set!

We’re excited to award Sauce Dog with the Best in Signature Series award for the Moonlit Nostalgia Moon Knight Volume 2 set! Sauce Dog joins fellow registry user jcronin in being the first to receive an award for a Moon Knight set! Congratulations for all the fantastic work!

So Does it have to be a complete signature set to be in the run or not?  My Ronin set is nearly 233 books to be completed which I am about halfway there.

is there a separate set for signature series submissions or will that be judged in the individual sets?

Hi Brian,

 

Also I found a mistake with TMNT: The Last Ronin 1 Parrillo Variant Cover which needs to be changed to Cover RE Jolzar Collectibles B .  I have sent my book back to cgc as a mechanical error as the label is incorrect.   Please refer to https://tmnt-ninjaturtles.com/tmnt-the-last-ronin-01-idw/ for reference.

 

Kind Regards in Advance

Hi Brian,

Notice that TMNT: The Last Ronin 4 Split Decision/Tentacle 10 Metal Edition isn't showing the correct points as 9.8 is only getting 35 points when it should be getting 79 since its also signed and graded.  Can you have a look at it please. Cert:4058863010

Hello @Murdo81

I can, but it will take a lot of time, there are approximately 250 titles in that series.  Is there a specific reason you want to use this set, as opposed to the Last Ronin Set?

I was going to have all IDW turtle books together.  Also if that is going to be an issue is it possible to add all the remaining variants in the last ronin category cause its missing alot of issue 3 4 and 5.

Hi Brian,

https://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/Comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=149702

I am wondering if The Last Ronin Set can be modified to not include the Metal Editions as they weren't an official release by IDW and the metal sheet was applied to the incentive 1:25 books by the comic book shop without IDW's permission. The metals should be either in another category set so that it doesn't mixed up what IDW has said is the Official Released Variants. 

I have posted a link below that might be handy to see the ones that aren't official and from the discord group of Ben Bishop who is the artist on the books.

https://tmnt-ninjaturtles.com/tmnt-the-last-ronin-01-idw/

Anyway thank you and please let me know the outcome please.

Below are the books in question:

Kind Regards
