bffnut Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Mailed off my Saga Registry set today. I was sad to see it go, but I wouldn't own a grail otherwise... Pics to come in July Awesome on the grail acquisition! I look forward to seeing it. Interesting to see how members feel about the TBPs in the registry within that poll thread. I think the poll is fair and should be determined by consensus. Part of the reason why the registry is fun is because of other collectors chasing the same books/set. If adding TPBs drives collectors from participating it's not good. It's better to be top 3 in a registry with 100 people participating than to be #1 with no other registry collectors . While I would probably never submit a TPB or buy a slabbed one, I understand the completist's state of mind (and vikingreed's "ooo, pretty). For me, TPBs are for reading over and over again. I feel differently about the Image Firsts, though. I guess I like the challenge of finding them myself, and in high grade. For me, that is kind of the point of the registry - the challenge.

I agree wholeheartedly. It looks like I'm in the minority regarding things like TPBs, but then again I never even thought of the nightmares like all of the additional printings of said TPBs. That's why it is nice to have a community of more experienced Boardies who can help with these sorts of issues. I see a 9.9 or 10.0, and think, "Oh, pretty. Must have...", hahaha. Now I understand some of those pretties should be in non-competitive slots. Great to see this outlook. Some registry discussions can get heated as people play games hoping for top spot. I can assure you that nothing is more frustrating than managing a set all year long and then someone adds a book near the deadline just to beat you out. Just check the Y The Last Man set vs the Y "Complete" set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreezy Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 So are there only going to be 300 of the variant? The guy is asking for $400. I think that is way overpriced for a variant that isnt even a #1. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
