Okay, SERIOUSLY...

[slym2none]

...when are we going to get a new age for the comics made from around 1990 to somewhere in the early 2000's? I am getting weirded out by constantly seeing books almost 25 years old called "moderns." It doesn't fit anymore.

 

We need a concensus on agreement of this issue.

 

We need the power to implement this change.

 

We need a concensus on the name for the new age that will become instantly recognisable, yet always slightly controversial (as I assume any new name will be.)

 

I am not looking for ideas on names, we have had many of those threads already. I am looking for simple yes and no votes, and discussion on why or why not. (I know, we shall see how long that lasts.)

 

What say you?

You need a crack option.

[slym2none]

Nope, no crack for this one.

I think some of the community might be afraid that rebranding MIGHT cause CGC to implement a new tier making copper comics more expensive to grade.

[oldbsturgeon]

absolutely agree with you. Modern should be reassigned to 2000 and up but thats just me.

Shouldn't be afraid. They've adjusted years before. No doubt it will happen again.I suspect it will be in the next couple of years.

Similar discussion HERE a few months back.

The "ages" have become irrelevant. Comics can be referred to by the decade they were printed in thereby getting rid of any confusion over how certain comics should be classified.

"Nineties drek" is already a subset of "modern".

Break "90's drek" out, is that's what you mean?

The only people with the power to implement this change is Overstreet and the advisors. At least most collectors are in agreement that Chromium Age is the title for the new age (1992 - ?).

I vote for "Charmin Age"

 

Soothing and comfortable but routinely .

With a tipping point into a "Digital Age", that timeline where publishers started yanking down 'pirate' sites and marketing in earnest.

I would say maybe when Comixology came on the scene in 2007 that the Digital Age started. You factor Comixology with help from tablets and we find a whole new way to experience comic books!

Really when you think about it that`s the best advice.

Anybody know who came up with naming the ages after metals that started all this?

[Erndog]

No doubt this HAS to happen.

 

20 years from now are we still calling 90's books "moderns"? What about 40 years?

 

 

Let's just do it now for Pete in Portugal's sake.

Tin age?
