Anyone have any predictions on how many sets will be registered at the last minute to meet the registry awards deadline? Apparently one already hit on the 1961 baseball sets. It will be interesting to see if any mind blowing sets are added within the next week.
If you could, please post a reply to this message if/when a set is registered. I don't regularly check through all the catagories but would like to see those sets when they show up. Others may enjoy this as well. Good luck to everyone!

if you hit "EDIT" on your First post, you can change your Title as well as the post itself.

I was thinking of slamming in my 64 set just before the close. Not quite sure where my 3.4% completion with a 7.98 GPA will get me - but the idea of surprising everyone sounds pretty cool!
Sets - 1970, 1971 and 1972
Always looking for 1972 O-PEE-CHEE Baseball in PSA 9 or 10!

BTW, did you enter it manually or did you use that new service "RegSnipe"?
I used RegSnipe 1.0 (beta version). Due to the uncertainty of the software's responsiveness, I set the buffer for 8 days.
How did you find the time to register that monster of a set? I thought you were on jury duty.
MS-
Will you be sniping with your 55 Bowmans?

My sister lives in the Washington, DC area -- so I will definitely not be going down as a Sniper.
Also, for what it's worth, has anyone else noticed the trend of people not allowing the composition of their sets to be visisble? I have seen this more and more in the past few months....
MS
Yes Ive noticed the trend as well. Obviously I see the point when you are at 75%+ completion...but Ive seen a number of sets at the 0-20% range that have done this as well. Maybe they are a bit paranoid...who knows?
Seriously....any timetable out there when you are going to unleash your 55 Bowman set to the collecting world?
John
If you are interested in details re: my 1955 Bowman set, just drop me an e-mail and let me know specifically what you are interested in. I'm a nice enough guy that I will try an accomodate.

Personally, on the two sets where I've broken the 75% barrier (72T and 75T) I've elected to keep the sets visible. The way I figure it, I have fairly solid limits established for any already-slabbed cards I'm missing so I can't be extorted. . .and for cards I turn down, I'm confident I can find them raw to submit myself. Maybe it's easier to have this attitude when you're doing 1970s material.
Mike
BTW- I'm no longer building the 72 set. Got as high as 94% and decided to break it up and move to other sets closer to my childhood.
While I've enjoyed my short-lived #1 position, as I've previously stated here on this message board, records are made to be broken. I'm looking forward to seeing sets others have put together, what cards I have they don't have and vice versa.
While I understand the economics of not displaying your collection for public view, to me it takes away from what I believe to be the fundamental purpose of the Set Registry which is to promote the enjoyment of the hobby.
Good to see you on the boards! Welcome!

For what it's worth, there is also another collector who has an extremely high grade set in SGC-holders -- primarily from presentation sets.
Separately, I see Frank Smith is making a run at the #1 spot for the 1975 Topps Baseball set (with a little help from mcastaldi???)
Hey Shane, ...sniff, sniff, sniff, is that the smell of some stinky cheese coming from the 1971 Topps Greatest Moments Set Registry
John
Do you not have to pay tax from the proceeds of the sale? (2002 vs. 2003)
I now understand the tax consequences you're referring to...I guess it depends on what your basis is in the set. This is the reason I try to keep up with the cost basis of each of my sets; I'm not sure how many collectors realize the taxable event that selling their collection(s) incurrs, particularly through a major auction house.
On the other hand, with the decline in values we have seen over the last few years, I would think there a few sets that collectors are "upside down" in. This may not apply to vintage sets such as the subject '62 set.
In any event, you raise an interesting point.
John
Any payment of more than $600, a business is required to issue a 1099-MISC. Whether any particular business actually does so is between said business, their accountant and IRS.
A 1099 may only be issued if issuer has your tax ID (SSN).

I need all the help I can get to catch up with the top dog! For those of you who thought Davalillo’s prices were spendy, try getting low population 1975’s out of Castaldi. Man…Davalillo would be darn proud!
As for the Rodriquez 10 that closed a while back, I was out of town most of the week it was running. As I was getting ready to leave, I went ahead and loaded a bid in my “snipeware” as no one else had bid on the card. I totally forgot to check with you to see what your intentions were towards it. Live and learn. To quote a word from the same movie and scene that you referenced, “Oops!”
