Placeholder Scans
« on: August 08, 2012, 04:13:16 PM »
Hey, all--

After some analysis, we decided that the use of placeholder scans outweighs our dislike of the infamous "GM" scans, so they will be carried here until replacement scans are found.

If anybody has any we don't (give it time--Yoc will be adding them over the next few days), please post them...

OK gang,
I've added all the 'GM' scans we already had in reserve.
If you have a scan of a book NOT already on the site please upload it to the Placeholder folder.

NOTE -
We don't need any for books we've already got better scans for like the Blue Beetle and Smash Comics scans.  We ONLY want books NOT on the site or that might be incomplete.

Thanks,
-Yoc

It should be mentioned that the Placeholder section is not JUST for those infamous GM scans.

Good point.  We mean to use the category to handle those weird or primitive preservation attempts, like that time you tried to fax a friend's comic to yourself or tried to copy a few stories with tracing paper.  We don't have any yet, but I'm sure things like that are out there somewhere.

But as Yoc says, we only care if it's a book that doesn't have a better scan, because...yeesh.

Hi Gang,
OK, all the GM scans that I have access to have now been uploaded.
If YOU have any not on the site (and not already there as a better scan) then PLEASE do upload them.  There were many more sold that are not here.

Thanks!
