I bet pcgs is waiting for the market to get soft in those, then they can add the short set to try to strengthen it. I can't see any other reason why they could not have already put up that and several other very popular short sets.
The answer is always "we are not doing any short sets until we finish all the main sets".
Since there seems to be other short sets, I believe that they are having technical problems and CANNOT produce the short set for lincolns. Do NOT hold your breath for this one.
Russ- I know from having read your comments over the last year...that you are really into Kennedy halves...but I need to tell you (not that you don't already know)...but there are 10 times as many collectors out there to support the Lincoln short set series....as compared to the Kennedy short set. Ok...I haven't done a scientific study....but you get the point.
A lincoln short set would send prices even higher on the low pop short coins. I think Gerry would have the #1 set followed by Wayne and Billbe. Stewart may not make the top 5.
I should change my post, not to that pcgs will add the short set when the market is soft in short set Lincolns, but to when submissions are low in short set Lincolns (which likely would be at the same time).
If you have the coins for a 1934-1958 Lincoln cent "short set" why not put them in the 1909-1958 basic set. If enough "short set" advocates did this there is no doubt that DH would take notice. Steve

Why not a 1909-1933 Short Set. I have much of that in pcgs slabs, but only 4 after 1933. With that set they could also have a RD and not RD set. (They really should, that's a great idea!) The 34-58 short set they wouldn't have to even bother with red vs no red since almost everyone only collects reds.

Sounds about right to me. And, I think the Lincoln collectors should get a short set, since we Kennedy collectors already got ours.

I can't imagine what the 49-p and 54-p would go for in 66RD ?

How about a No Red Lincoln cent set? lol... I doubt I'd see that in my lifetime.
