[Doc Joe]

Just a note here from someone on the 'inside' regarding the Best Presented category. We look for original comments. If the comments contain only text that already appears on the label or something that can be found on another website we will not necessarily rule your set out completely but we definitely try to find the sets where users are providing original information.

 

Is there a story behind how you acquired the book? Does it relate to some time in your life? Is there a specific aspect of the story that appeals to you?

 

I love this category because anyone can win it.

[Raphael]

Finally, the Copper Age has its own distinction within the awards!

[sufunk]

Here are my votes for achievement in comic collecting:

 

-rube11

-sufunk

 

Both of these guys constantly show off amazing new purchases. They should definitely qualify!

 

I appreciate the mention but unfortunately, i do not have a chance against some of the other heavyweights like rube, cheetah and Doc Joe

 

I'm too new, dont have any completed sets and without question am just completely outclassed by those guys(and others) collections. I would love to win an award for something but dont see it happening. I definitely bow to those guys and their amazing collections! I'm very, VERY proud of my collection and registry but just no way am i in their league

 

Hopefully someday, i can move up into their league but im definitely not there yet and really, i'm not even that close

I just don't like adding too much to the descriptions, that might spoil any surprises for the potential "new" readers of the series. I really only look at my Registry Set for L&K as a future learning tool for members on this site interested in this title. So, I present it to the maximum. Knowing people enjoy my hard work finding an interesting balance of imformation, giant pictures, trivia, extra books and bragging(unintentional-sometimes) makes me way too happy. Thank you.

But, I do wish everyone luck who might compete this year. Looking forward to seeing some great sets, that will win this year.

[Silent Master]

I am very impressed with that Lock & Key Set! I've never seen that many 9.9 & 10.0 before in one location!!!

[Bosco685]

I just don't like adding too much to the descriptions, that might spoil any surprises for the potential "new" readers of the series.

That's where I am at on registry set content. Adding just enough within the book summary to provide high-level details, without going as far as telling everything.

 

 

 

Although on Xenozoic Tales I went a little bit longer on the book summary.

 

 

Now as far as Hellboy content on wiki and what I wrote in my registry set, I corrected a lot of the Hellboy wiki page that a dealer had modified to fit his needs in selling books. So it makes it kind of tough to say "But don't copy wiki" when you provided the content.

 

But when Branget catches up to me (which he is working on quickly), then we can have a new guy to set the tone for the Hellboy registry sets.

[NewEnglandGothic]

Beautiful set of books there NewEnglandGothic!

and of course Locke and Key

http://comics.www.collectors-society.com/registry/comics/PeopleSetDetail.aspx?PeopleSetID=22115

I thank you kindly.

...But, you have put together some really amazing books.

My Modern Gems feel like the "buzzing of flies"* compared to your Bronze beauties.

*Ghostbusters II

I am very impressed with that Lock & Key Set!

Thank you.

I've never seen that many 9.9 & 10.0 before in one location!!!

...other than BeachBum's freshly graded submission box.

 

But seriously, thank you. It's been really fun to take the book's wonder to another level, through CGC. This has been wild rollercoaster of a focus, soon to be over by next June, when the series ends. To tell you the truth, I lost track of how many 9.9 to 10 books I have to this title. I even have Mints to books CGC doesn't allow as variants, in some obverse gallery shots with more to come.

 

Oh, Silent Master, love the Joes! Good luck to you. There is alot passion in your sets, I appreciate as a collector. I'm somewhat of a reader of the IDW series myself. I'm always looking for a L&K preview or story.

Your Registry Sets are amazingly imformative and have very beautiful eye candy. You set a great example to collectors. But, I have told you this many times.

[TheLiamSturgess]

Seen a lot of Modern and Copper age goodness here. Congrats everyone!

 

Now where are the Bronze-Gold?

Out of interest does cgc have a way of searching the sets

 

E.g. Sets that are 80% complete, with 100% photos, in silver age with some data entered in the comments section?

 

That sort of thing, or do you just pound though looking at every set?

In the Best Presented category we do have a search filter applied so that we are not clicking through to sets that have zero descriptions and pictures. We keep the filter criteria very limited though because, in my experience, participants make use of the system in different ways and we don't want to miss out on reviewing a set because it falls just short of some percentage. For example, you can have a user who includes tremendous detail in the comments for each indiviual book but maybe is missing a couple of photos. Some other users make fantastic photos their priority and include limited comments. We want to see all those sets.

 

So, we are indeed still pounding through hundreds of sets but its a fun and interesting process for us.

[Doc Joe]

so....when will we get access to the search function

 

 

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease

Thank you, Joe. You are very kind, but there are a lot of incredible collections out there and the GA folks don't get much notice outside the GA forum.
