Like you had to ask.

 

 

 

"Sexy Time.......How much?!"

 

 

I vote YES btw!

I vote yes but I have a question - How will those Copper Age sets be decided on? If the series started in 1979 and ran throughout the 1980's would that be classified as a bronze age or copper age set? Or if the series started in 1990 and is still currently ongoing - copper or modern?

 

How are the gold, silver, bronze sets determined? Starting date? Ending date? Majority of books being in a certain age?

 

 

BUT a big yes regardless!!!! (I hate to get this going again but what dates will be considered the "copper age"?)

I'm very interested to hear how this is addressed, as it makes perfect sense how this could be challenging. It's like titles like Action Comics or Detective Comics that span many ages - a challenge to categorize.

If you look at the current Registry set-up, you can see that sets can have more than one age attached to them - for instance, "Action Comics #1-#300" is listed as Gold set, but it's also listed as a Silver set. One of the big guns - "Action Comics #1-#500" - is listed as a set in all 4 categories; Gold, Silver, Bronze & Modern.

I never noticed that before, but it is quite impressive to see collections like this that are out there.

 

I just wasn't sure how CGC classifies these sets for the registry.

[Lebowski]

Like CGC really cares about the age designations when it comes to the registry awards. Anyone care to offer a guess as to why X-men #94-143 wins for best MODERN set in 2008?

[seanfingh]

 

I think they used to do the cutoffs based upon the grading tiers. In 2008, everything from 1975 forward was Modern grading tier. Not that it makes any sense from a true comic age perspective, but there was a lot of debate about it at the time and that was the consensus, as I recall.

Well, at least that provides some explanation.

 

Still don't make no sense.

Agreed. The wailing and gnashing of teeth was terrible to behold.

That's why we need another Age for the Registry.

[Bosco685]

19 people out of 20 voted for this so far. I wonder if that is enough for CGC to take this to Comics General and ask for a larger audience response.

[Turtle]

I just stumbled upon this thread. Of course I voted "yes". Copper certainly needs a distinct category in the registry. So...what's the next step?

Stop that now!

 

Adam, we have been discussing this with Gemma in the 2010 award thread. So she is actively tracking what is being suggested.

Done. Now what?

I am of the belief that the Copper age runs from 1984 to 1992,thoughts.
