Player set registry question

Who decides the composition of the player sets? I am looking at putting together the Pete Rose player set, but I notice some glaring omissions.
1. The most glaring is that it just stops at 1986. Pete has cards in 87-89 as well.
2. Kellogg’s cards. 1970 and 71 are part of it, but that is it. Why list those two if not the rest.
3. 1968 Topps Game should be a part as well. The 1971 Greatest Moment’s card is part of it.
I understand that there is a limit. There are all sorts of stickers and regional sets that could be added, but you have to draw a line. Where is that line drawn and who draws it?

and.......... of course the '71 Greatest moments cards is included, as it is Pete's best card.
As far as composition is concerned -- for the Basic Player set, use Mickey Mantle's as a guideline. No All-Star cards, no Tiffany cards, no League Leader, Multi-Player or Record Breaker cards. Those will all be included in the Master Player Registry.

I would like to get a couple of things straight from my comments above.
1. I do believe the 71 Greatest Moments should be included, but I lump that with the 68 game as far as being part of a standard collection.
2. I understand that once a player is done playing you would not necessarily include that in a player set. However, Pete Rose played in 1986 and that season’s stats are obviously reflected in the 1987 cards so those should be part of any player set.
Thanks again,

The reasons are unclear, and it is sort of disputed.
The 1984 Topps Nestles cards were originally distributed by Nestle only in sheet form. However, at the time they were released (or soon thereafter), a major dealer had a large number of the sheets professionally cut by the same people who cut the sheets for Topps. Thus, they were cut by the manufacturer -- after the fact and paid for through a dealer; it was not Topps or Nestles that paid for and originally had these cut.
Nonetheless, it was cut by the same people. So, PSA does not grade them anymore, because they were not originally distributed in anything but sheets.
waitilltheytrytosell explains this much more eloquently than I can -- but hopefully you understand my point.
As for my opinion on the matter -- since it should be clear to any collector who purchases a Nestle card to know that it was cut from a sheet in an after-the-market transaction (but in a much different manner than the BVG/OPC debacle), investors are knowing what they are getting into and should be allowed to have these cards graded, if they so choose. Otherwise -- PSA should offer to fully compensate any owners of 1984 Topps Nestles cards because they erroneously graded them in the first place. This middle of the road approach satisfies no one.
