Advanced Completion Report
Can we add the ability to the completion report to catalog by 1st printing, rather than variant? Many publishers (ex Zenescope) print several cover price covers for each comic on the first printing. Right now if you get cover B instead of cover A, and run a missing comics report, ignoring variants, it wont pick up that you have a copy of that issue (because you ignored variants).
I was thinkin maybe we could add an ability to request a completion report based on having any issue from first print, which might solve this kind of issue, and give a sense of what books someone is missing a first print issue for, even if they dont collect all variants.

Another thought is, instead of tracking by printing, we could add an "alternate cover" entry, and track by that, since most shops, if a first print is coming out with several cover price covers, tend to term them "alternates" rather than "variants". I dont know if that would be easier or harder than tracking by printing, but it would help distinguish between cover price alternates, such as Zenescope puts out, and true 1:XX variants, such as you might have with other books (like Marvel is fond of).
