Detroit MIke Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Just so everyone that collects Crow knows, I posted this proposal in the registry section. So what's the thoughts on having three Crow sets to meet various needs like the Walking Dead collectors have done? - Set 1: The core books that launched The Crow (no side stories, previews, reprints, etc.). So Caliber Presents 1 and Crow 1-4. - Set 2: All the books tied to the early Crow appearances, including Deadworld #10, A Caliber Christmas #1, Caliber Presents #15, Death Rattle Vol. 3 #3, and I hope Crow Tundra #3 since it completes the first chapter. But no reprints. - Set 3: Anything-everything Crow that is graded, including reprints, later series, etc. This way, a die-hard Crow fan can capture all of their books in one registry, including later stories. Would that work? Since this would impact the two existing Crow sets, I didn't want anyone surprised, nor not provide time to contribute feedback in advance of any decision. So far we have four people supporting this idea, but I don't consider that a final decision yet (Peter Palmer, Devilsrain, Newenglandgothic, and myself). sounds reasonable.

Everyone seems to be agreeing on the idea of setting up the three sets ... what we're currently discussing is whether Deadworld #10 (whose sole connection to the Crow universe is a back cover ad) belongs in the "early Crow appearances" set or in the catch-all "Anything-everything Crow" set (or both). So, basically, whether an ad should be considered an "appearance" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how you want to look at this, Deadworld #10 was taken out of the 1st set to meet a collecting need, but requested in the 2nd set (and supported by 4 registry holders) to meet another group's desires. Adding this additional drag on finalizing a group decision just comes across as unnecessary. But to keep it professional, and show what is truly going on here, I'll let the votes make the decision.

Deadworld #10 was never going to be included in the 1st set because, as Gemma pointed out, CGC doesn't consider ads to be appearances. As such it doesn't belong in the 2nd set (entitled "early Crow appearances") either. Professionally speaking, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three Crow sets in the registry now. Charlie, the second set would potentially be altered based on what the group wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such it doesn't belong in the 2nd set (entitled "early Crow appearances") either. Professionally speaking, of course. Why of course - professional versus character attacks are the better way to go. If a preview or prototype can be added to registry sets like Goon, Hellboy, Invincible, Mouse Guard, and Walking Dead, why not this book in the Crow second set that would contain all early appearances from the Chapter One period, and supported by 4 out of 6 Crow registry set owners? Registry points. It is very clear the main concern is 88 points you would have to track down. Will there be another 9.8 candidate - of course. Most of us have proven many books considered unattainable or rare to track down in high grade really means they didn't come out of someone's raw collection yet. It just takes patience and timing. And this is not an attack on your character like what happened to me - the registry sets are a competition. You are just trying to take the competitive approach of blocking this book to maintain the lead in two sets. But if I gave in on Dime Press #4 (Hellboy's prototype appearance) being added to a set, I'm not seeing why this book shouldn't be added other than a competitive stance. Hopefully we have the chance to hear from Mikelutes and Detroit Mike on this recommendation. But at least we are agreed on three sets and the majority of what should be in these sets. Amen, it just comes down to a discussion concerning one book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professionally speaking, is it really necessary to have this going in the Crow thread? Everything that needs to get done is getting done in the Registry thread. It was certainly an OK idea to get the word out in this thread, if there was going to be any more input, but there is no need to gum up this thread with more gnashing of teeth.

Shaven Kev-migration Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Do they have a decent set up? The picture is even better than the HD streaming version on Netflix and the sound is many times better. If they are using a PS3 they need to make sure they are sending out the digital signal instead of analog for the sound. It makes a huge difference.

Stepping up to HD is one of those things you don't really notice until a year later when you pop in an old DVD and feel like you're getting bad reception on the rabbit ear antenna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
