Hey guys,
This group has tackled the issue of a condition grading scale. Does anybody think it’s worth trying to put together a rarity scale? You know…to judge how common a game is. I’d recommend we call is the CURIOUS scale:
Common Uncommon Rare Imaginary Oddity Unique Shameless placeholder to complete acronym
Seriously, there are a few sites that do this specifically for cartridge-based media, but wouldn’t it be nice to have one for our hobby? How would we judge rarity? We could poll the list of collectors for starters. A place like Brad’s computer game collector site (http://www.computergamecollector.com) would be ideal for tracking this info if it was supported by most of us. We could then add more subjective info like the number of times a game was spotted on eBay. It would be great if we could actually track this as part of the DB.
Anyway, I know this is ambitious…a lot more ambitious than the condition grading scale, but what do you think?
Speaking of ambitious, I’ll be looking into hotel conference rooms this week.
