The first of the seven sets that I sold in the Superior auction was listed on the registry today. Scott Wetzel purchased and listed the 1974 Topps Traded set. Wetzel's 1974 Traded Set
I heard from only one other winner (1974 Topps Baseball). I still have no idea who won the other sets.

He will build the set in PSA 8 and sell all the 9's.

That's right, he posted a message a week or so ago. I guess I'm getting old and my short term memory is shot.
What do you guys think?
I personally do not want to see (in the next couple of years) the same set possibly taking up the entire All-Time Finest List. Gee...if someone wanted to..they could pass the set along to 4 of their buddies and screw over the other set builders.
You never know, it could happen...

I have had this concern for quite some time and now it has come true. I still see no purpose in the all time finest set. If a set is sold or broken up, it is no longer a set (in its original form/owner kind of way). Carlos' set should be deleted from the registry period (sorry Carlos). I agree with you that in a short amount of time, especially with the likelyhood of complete set selling starting to take off, the top 5 spots in the all time lists will be filled with duplicate sets. How lame
In my HUMBLE opinion, I believe you are missing the entire essences of the set registry’s functionality. Again, IMHO, PSA has taken your concerns into account when they developed the registry’s format. That is why they have two lists per set (All-Time Finest and Current Finest). These lists satisfies all collectors…Those who are actively pursuing set completion (Current) and those of us who would like a historical record of their one-time accomplishment (All-Time). I feel there is enough room for all of us to live in harmony.
Look at it this way…
Pretend the All-Time Finest list is the sun, you can glance at it, but don’t look at it too long, because if you do it could cause permanent damage.
Just my insignificant two little cents,
Carlos
I have no problem with your set remaining on the All-Time Finest...it should...no question.
My concern is focused on the future, where there is a possibility of the same set being passed around 5 separate times thus taking up the entire All-Time Finest list. These transactions could be legitimate (ie. auction house purchases) or some random a$$hole who wants to put the screws to the 2nd, 3rd place guys on the All-Time list or boost the egos of his buddies by just registering again. Yes..the concept is farfetched but there could be arguements between collectors down the road where this scenario could come into place.
What type of "checks and balances" can be proposed?
Just thinking in advance,
John
Are you suggesting that PSA does away with it's All-Time Finest list and only have a Current Finest list?

<< <i>that if a set is sold or transfered to another individual, the ownership title should change and it shouldn't be a new entry on the all-time finest list. >>
This is what I agreed with.
I do not believe that the all time finest should be done away with. There just needs to be some sort of check in place to avoid duplicate sets.
If I understand correctly...your concern is with the 1974 Topps Traded set that is 100% the same as my retired set, however, your ok with the 1974 Regular set that will be 90% identical to my retired set?
If this is the case, then it would be to hard to monitor. Furthermore, what dupicate % is acceptable?
I see your point...But it should be all or nothing! Therefore, we should have an All-Time and Current list OR just a Current list.
Myself...I like having both lists.
just my $0.02

It would seem that any set collector would want to put his own stamp on a set, and these suggested minimums , at least, would allow for this.
If I had a vote, I would vote for your last proposal...That makes sense to me.
Carlos
PS. All's well in registry land again.
