Topps Baseball

Couldn't be any more vague, could I?
In February 2004, I made a list of how many ATF Registry sets were completed at 90% and above, regardless of the grade. The calculations are for Topps Baseball 1952-1983. I compared February 2006 to that list, and here is what I found:
Most sets: 1956 with 42. Second was 1955 with 41 and third was 1954 with 37. Largest percentage increase (besides 1980) was 1969.
The rest of the 50's:
1952: 32
1953: 26
1957: 34
1958: 12
1959: 19
Here is the number of 60's sets today, vs 2004:
1960: 23 12
1961: 30 17
1962: 13 4
1963: 19 8
1964: 13 4
1965: 22 7
1966: 9 5
1967: 16 9
1968: 24 10
1969: 22 6
And the 70's fall this way:
1970: 5 5
1971: 19 9
1972: 20 8
1973: 7 3
1974: 14 7
1975: 24 10
1976: 7 2
1977: 2 1
1978: 7 2
1979: 0 0
1980: 4 1
1981: 1 0
1982: 1 0
1983: 0 0
Now granted, since I compared ATF sets, some of them may not exist any longer. But, I did this just to discern any patterns. (Like...what's up with 1970??)
Anybody see anything worth commenting upon?

I know of at least 3 in the 65 topps set with that.
add in the few auction houses that used the registry and the number falls a lil more. (or raises)
with all that I see that many sets have increased nontheless.
the set i do, 65, has increased (which is a good thing)

Are some sets with low volume simply too difficult/costly, or just undesirable, or maybe just overlooked ?
1958, 1970 and 1979 are three examples.
It is a good thing because it puts more people in the market for the cards I collect and (in my case) already have. How can that not be good?

I MORE than agree. More people collecting any set is good for everybody. We all know there are alot of quality 60's and 70's raw around. I bet there is a decent amount of 50's stuff too. I certainly don't watch the pop reports hoping that total submissions have not gone up.
I am a happy newcomer to your list Nick!
