Title: Still In Print ??
Post by: Comix Junky on November 03, 2007, 10:45:32 PM

I've seen a few entries in the wiki that say

"still in print at $2.00" (or whatever price)

Who is posting this?
Where did you get the info?
Is it current info?
Who is going to keep it current?

This is the kind of info that needs to stay current, or it causes people problems.
And keeping it current is a pain in the ass.
UGcomix.info tried it, and gave up.
If you got it from them, it's at least 2 years out of date.

I think we should stick with stable info.
Or put a date on transient info.
And/or only post it if you are volunteering to keep it current.

What say you?

Hmm.  A formidable task, indeed.  Could you point me to an example of such an entry?  I'm curious.

 :idea1: The more i think on it, "What's still in print (if anything)"
might be a good topic for the forum.

Things go in and out of print all the time, seems like too much of a pain in the ass to me to try and post that info., keeping it up to date.

Zap is still in print. =] I don't think that will ever go out of print. I would be curious to know what the current print run is...

How about something like "still in print as of 2006"?

Actually, I find that perfectly acceptable.

Hmmm... To me it just seems like a waste. Most collectors only want or would much rather settle for first print items. Last Gasp, Rip Off and Fantagraphics are really the only ones left... So if they don't have it...
