Registry Awards

Though collects slabs is in a way, a perversion of true collecting...one upmanship isn't. So, here is the announcement for the winners:

I took best type set for Whiz Comics(apparently no one wanted to create WC registry set). I came in 2nd for Captain Marvel Adventures. Only takes a couple of 9.2 copies and you have a contender, apparently for that type set.

 

Captain Tripps, took the overall prize(if you can call it that). And yeah, it should have been a Golden Age Collector!!

Congrats. I see CW won for his Spirit set and hkp won for his Pre-Barks set.

Yeah, though not GA, Greggy won in his category. Of course, that is not surprising. I wanted to win Best Type for my GA Captain Marvel Adventure set. What gets me is that it is based on points and not on comprehesiveness. 2 9.2 books and I get blown away by about 700 points. Oh, I am just sour grapes, I guess. Next year, it shouldn't be a problem.

Is there a way to win without having slabbed books? Seems like almost by definition something like this isn't likely to attract a lot of Golden Age interest.

Agreed, if there was you would have had the Whiz type set hands down....And probably a few other sets now that I think of it. You know, I almost wish I had the resources so that a Photo-Archive could be built with this sort of thing in mind. I am almost embarassed getting the 2006 Type set for Whiz Comics because I was the only one competing. *sigh*
