There are five distinct titles in the Marvel Romance Redux event (all #1s) that have been lumped into one title called Marvel Romance Redux and all given the number “1”. Those should be broken out into 5 distinct titles with the TPB left in this title. The five books were published separately, are not part of the same story, and have distinct titles.
Their barcodes do count up like normal issue numbering. I think it’s better to leave them into one series, just not as variants as they are now.
All have now been moved over to their own issue with correct credits and other data. Thank you for posting!
While I appreciate the response, I really believe this is the wrong way to do this title. By the conventions of your own system you just made them look as though they are variants of #1 for a single truncated title. And it negates the functionality of this system for generating useful want lists and cross-checking prices on COVRPRICE.
No, they’re using issue extensions. They’re not variants, it looks that way because you’re used to the variant letters being used as variant letters but they’re not. They’re individual issues with individual data.
“And it negates the functionality of this system for generating useful want lists and cross-checking prices on COVRPRICE.”. I’m confused, what does Covrprice have to do with this? They’re all linked correctly.
@CLZ_Justin If I have a want list and I am at a comic show and it lists “Marvel Comics Redux #1E” and I am staring at a bunch of books that is going to be completely useless to me and anyone I show my list to. After all how are they going to know which one of those titles you have randomly assigned the 1E designation to? If I have a want list and it says “Marvel Comics Redux: Guys & Dolls #1” that is going to tell me what I want. It is that simple. These books were originally in the system like this (correctly) but then someone combined them into one title for some reason and that detail was lost to me and everyone else.
I am asking you to put them back to the way it was which is this. See how I can clearly tell that Guys & Dolls is the book I need when I look at my system or print a report?
I have unlinked these books from core so I can put them in my collection the right way. I did this with a few dozen other titles as well such as:
I hate that I have to disconnect them from core in order to get the correct details on my books, but I prefer that much more to seeing them listed as they are now. If you fix these let me know - I would be glad to reconnect them.
Ah, I understand what you mean now and understand where you’re coming from. However, from a database standpoint, I’d still keep them together. I’ve added everything I could, so you are free to change it and split them up in your own database. As now there is no need update from core.
“I am asking you to put them back to the way it was which is this. See how I can clearly tell that Guys & Dolls is the book I need when I look at my system or print a report?”
I have no idea when or if these were split up. I found them all together and that’s how they’ll remain. This is consistent with core.
