Set Registry question

Jdkings

Can the same card be registered in 2 different sets? For example a 1969 Nolan Ryan....can the same PSA serial number registered in a 1969 Topps set, and a Nolan Ryan basic set?

Thanks for any help.

Griffins

yes, as long is it is registered to the same owner.

Jdkings

Thanks!!

After you enter the Ryan card in the 69 set a page should come up that says do you want to enter that card in the other set.

Unfortunately, all of these answers are correct.

However, I wish PSA would stop allowing that practice. To me, it is pointless. What does it prove, if you have a complete set of, say, 1971 Topps baseball on the Registry, that you automatically qualify for team sets of 1971 Topps Los Angeles Dodgers?

I have voiced my displeasure many times before on this issue; I have yet to hear an argument to my satisfaction as to why multi-set qualification should continue as it is.

(And I do practice what I preach. I will never enter my cards on the Registry across sets...and currently, I would qualify for many, many, many subordinate sets if I did so.)

It would make my collecting much more expensive if I needed three different 1972 Topps Nolan Ryan PSA 9s.....one for the 72 Topps set, one for the 72 California Team set and one for the Ryan player set....or perhaps four cause there is the basic player set and the master player set.
Of course I don't need a basic set if I have a master set.....and i don't need a team set if I have the complete set...( but that still leaves TWO!!).........

...You got any extra Ryan PSA 9s..Nick?

Sounds like sour grapes "SOM". What do you really care about this difference? Are you telling me that i have to go buy two of each? That isn't going to happen especially if you have 1 of 1's, which i do. Apparently the reason why you are not getting an argument is because a majority of the people reading this will agree with me. If you think i am going to shell out another couple of grand for high grade cards i already own, you got another thing coming. I would just delete my Carew Basic Set. But i am not going to.

I do not believe that a single card should be eligible to double count ,, especially toward potential double best set awards. If you have a nice card that enhances your primary competitive set, in this case a Master set, there is no reasonable logic why you should also do another set with the same card and remain eligible for two best set awards, or have even 3 best set awards with many of the same cards being entered simultaneously. The Basic Sets are for entry level participants, or folks who want to compete with fewer cards and perhaps a limited budget. Youngsters would likely be discouraged from competing in a basic set, because of this very fact.

WinPitcher

Collect for fun, do not compete.

GOODLIEU

I agree with Winpitcher, just concentrate on putting the best set that you like together and don't worry about what your standings our in the Registry. If your happy with your set that's all that matters.

SOM

That's a good point, lostdart.

So, if you have registered the Master Nolan Ryan set, does that mean you are automatically registered under the Basic set on the Registry? Or, if you have the Topps Baseball 1962 Master set, are you automatically on the Basic set list?

I don't think it works that way. But, if they allow you to register the same card across different sets, why will they not allow you to register the same set across different categories?

I see the practice of registering team sets from a year where you are collecting the full set to be silly (although sensible, if you're seeking the extra free grades). Registering both a basic and a Master set of the same player has the same effect - one is just a subset of the other.

However, I see nothing wrong with registering the same card across several different sets that are highly distinct. For example, a 1968 Topps Bob Gibson card would be perfectly appropriate in my view to list in the following all at one time: 1968 Topps set, Bob Gibson Basic or Master Set, Baseball HOF Player Set, Baseball HOF Complete Set (which has very different requirements for what cards count), MVPs set, and Cy Young Award winners set.

You forgot: Pitchers born in the USA with a lifetime ERA under 3.00 who pitched for the Cardinals during a recession who beat the Red Sox in the World Series after winning the Cy Young and MVP award set, Pitchers with the first name Robert set, Pitchers that Tim McCarver caught at least one pitch from set and the Never Played for the Yankees Master Set. These are all eligable for Mr Gibson also!

No, you are not ever automatically registered.......
