Post Awards Thread 1 1

[wytshus]

OK, I have completed my post Awards tasks.   

Let the 2024 Season begin!

 

I will devote the next few weeks catching up on requests.  Please keep in mind that I do all add fails by hand as well, so bear with me.

Once I get sufficiently caught up, I will create a new thread just for set edits/corrections.  I know there are some sets out there that need attention.  I will do my best to make them right.

 

A few thoughts about the Registry:

My philosophy is, if someone takes the time, money and effort to submit their comic books to CGC, those books should, and will, be added to the Registry.  I have received a number of complaints about obscure foreign variants, and retail sub variants in certain sets.  I am more than willing to mark those variants as Non Competitive.  The Non Competitive designation gives 1 point across the board, and I am pretty sure that non competitive books do not affect the completion percentage of the set that it's in. I will have to test to confirm.

 

Scoring adjustments will be done twice a year.  Note that Registry Points do not equate to market dollars. Books will be scored as follows:

Non key books before 2015 will be scored at 3 for Universal 9.0 (the minimum raw cover price)

Non key books after 2015 will be scored at 4 for Universal 9.0

Keys, and vintage books will be scored according to Overstreet Access 9.2 (for Universal 9.2)

Due to the size and scope of the Registry, this is the most efficient way to keep track of scoring.  Also, I only have write access to the Universal scoring Table, all other scores are weighed by the census algorithm.

 

We will be expanding the number of Awards for Custom and Sig Series Sets next year,.  If you feel that a particular Competitive set is too constricting, or not to your liking, feel free to create a Custom Set!  We will be working with the Sig Series Team in the future to bring some exciting marketing campaigns!

 

Edit:

One more thing:

Newsstand Editions will get their own slot in Complete with Variant Sets.  CGC is allowing customers to resubmit Newsstand Editions that do not have the designation on the label.  Resubmitted book entries in the database will have the Newsstand Designation in the Pedigree Field.  (This prevents a new Comic ID from being generated.)  However, the Pedigree Field is not currently part of the Registry Search function.  I will be creating a separate slot with "Newsstand" in the title, and populating that slot with the first run issue.  Newly submitted Newsstand variants will be treated as a stabdard variant..
