Legacy Question 0

[Chuck K]

This may be reading into things, but you don't know until the question is asked.

Guidance states "Sets marked “Legacy” on the Registry will no longer be updated with any new slot requests."  

Does this also mean fixing errors that exist in the registry? ASM legacy has at least 5 slots that are misnumbered. Can they bve requested to be fixed?

 

Thanks

@Chuck K There are no updates or changes being made to Legacy sets at this time. 

The recommendation is to move books to the respective volumes that comprise the Legacy sets. If the volume needed is not present, please do request it.

I’m kinda confused why a legacy set is not being updated. With the wolverine complete with variants legacy set a lot of the slots show up in different spots in the same set. Also the title set is still coming out with new books every month.

@Mattk3447 The short answer is that they don't comply with the updates to the set guidelines. They combine multiple volumes, contain International books, reprints, and other books that go into their own sets now. They will be left in place on the Registry as they are, but we are not making any changes or updates to them. The option is also there for participants to build a Custom Set if they wish to display books in ways that the guidelines do not support. 

Legacy sets are very difficult to maintain effectively for a variety of programming reasons. They are also problematic during the Awards when judging completion. They're difficult to compare if, for example, one person has primarily a Bronze run while another has a mix of Modern and reprints. 

We're encouraging participants in Legacy sets to move their books to the respective volumes and other sets that comprise the Legacy sets. It will give people more chances to win during the Awards by having these books represented in their respective volumes.

If you have books for which there isn't an individual volume or reprint or limited series set to represent them, please do request it in the new form.
