registry awards .... I'm confused

Remembered the saying no good deed goes unpunished? Well, I hope to avoid having this post sound like PCGS can do no right, but there is something I don't understand. What is with the honorary set? The honorary winner is DWG's morgan prooflike set, and it is fully deserving in every way of an award. Here is where I am confused....

That is a great set, so great that it deserves to be in the top 20. Calling it an honorary set seems to do it a disservice.

Maybe the honorary designation is attributable to the fact the Denny (may he rest in peace) has passed away, but ............... the collection remains in tact, and accordingly, I don't think the honorary title adds anything.

I was quite touched by the decision to add the set as an honorary awardee. I took it to mean that it wouldn't have been chosen, but out of respect for Dennis they gave it the honorary award. Classy move.

Same thing I thought when I saw it.

I agree with you folks, especially after reading the excerpt describing the collection, BUT is this about the collection or the person behind the collection? I almost feel like reminding PCGS that the collection is intact, and is just as awesome now as it was before.


Without readin too much into it, I am glad to see Denny AND the collection get this honor, and he was cool and the collection is awesome.

I'm not sure the collection is intact ... TDN would know. I thought Laura was already selling it off on behalf of Denny's family.

I thought it was a nice touch by PCGS to award an honorarium posthumously to Dennis Gigeous.

Best,
