I wonder if they figure that you can do a missing report. And that would cover seeing what you are missing?

I am not sure if you mean "I don't understand the need" or "I don't understand the usage". For the latter: "Owned Plus Regular Items" comes into effect when you one a variant and not the 'regular' issue. It will only display the one Regular issues and the one (or more) of the Variants that you own. For example: ALL: Item # Owned 1 0 1/A 0 1/B 1 1/C 1 Owned: Item # Owned 1/B 1 1/C 1 Owned Plus Regular: Item # Owned 1 0 1/B 1 1/C 1 PS This is not as good as you suggestion but in the interim, you could click on the Qty header to sort by that column. This would put all Not Owned issues at the top before any owned issues (and in Item # order in my simple test).

Usually for collected editions the DLX designation is only for a separately solicited variant that is speciaL in some way (for example, a collection that was solicited as both a non-numbered & non-signed version and as a signed and numbered version). Keep in mind that in cases where a collection has a “regular” or “book market” dust jacket and a direct market exclusive dustjacket, the DM version typically gets marked as Variant A. So (for example) for many Marvel omnibus books the version available to the book trade is listed as #1-HC and the DM variant is listed as #1-A. I suggest looking at *recent* titles to see how things are handled and use that as a guide. If are trying to catalog an item that seems to be outside the usual patterns, you can always post here for guidance for your specific item(s).

The last issue of the title Savage Sword of Conan: The Original Marvel Years Omnibus should be #8/HC and #8/A (including variants). After that point, Marvel's license ended and eventually went to Titan. Titan revived the Savage Sword of Conan omnibus line, but they changed the title to The Savage Sword of Conan: The Original Comics Omnibus. So issues #9/HC and up (including all variants) need to be moved from "Original Marvel Years Omnibus" title to the existing "Original Comics Omnibus" title. When doing this, please do NOT delete the other issues in the "Original Comics Omnibus" title. Those issues are real (Titan has been reissuing the earlier omnibus books under their "Original Comics" title. And, in at least one case, the contents of the Titan book is different from the corresponding Marvel book... so the existing entries under Titan's version of this series need to stay.) And, finally, the cover dates for #9/HC and #9/A need to match. They should both be October 2024 as per the indicia.
