Does anyone send in complete sets just to be on the registery to be #1

Does anyone here send in complete sets just to be #1 on the registry? Even though your the only one in that set?
I was thinking about submitting a few low sets, sets that are made up of less than 20 cards. But as I think about it,
It wouldn't be worth it to me to overpay for the grading when the entire set is worth $5 bucks. Do you guys still get
them graded anyways just to be in the set registry?

I think the fact that nobody else has already submitted their set to take the #1 position should answer your question. While I suspect there are a few people out there who cherish the certificates I doubt too many will pay significantly to get them.

Nope. Not me, I have though sent in a full set to be graded. It came in 4th place out of 5 sets. It is though only the 2nd set to be completed.

I do!!! It just so happens that one of my favorite subsets had never been graded as a whole. It is 15 cards but worth a little more than $5 due to being limited to 250 cards
I now have the top 3 sets. Once I finish the 3rd set, I am through with it. I will still have plenty left ungraded but they will stay that way. I am planning on cornering the market

I put in a registry request for a small, short-printed autograph set and PSA allowed it. Most of the set sells for at least $20 on feebay and since I'm close to having a complete set, (mostly raw) I may as well get them graded and perhaps stir up some interest.

I did a small one--1986 STAR CAREW

Yea I was just thinking about grading my 1988 donruss set. No

There are a couple of smaller sets that I have submitted, in full, because I collect the set. Although I happen to be #1 on the Registry is somewhat incidental. I would rather there be more collectors of some of these obscure Phillies sets to join the Registry with me and have fun...

I think if you look at a summary of the top spots ( like on the Nearmint Olympics pages) you will see that is not that uncommon. Many of the sets have one of two listings and one of them is at 100% but a lower GPA. MOSH fended his position in FB in the early days with this strategy. I have been known to do this as well. Not cheap sets per se where the $ does not support it but more on insert sets and relatively obscure vintage issues. It does not seem to stir up much interest though. For me it is Nearmint Olympic glory followed by harrassment of Dav, Shoulda and MOSH and the certificate if it happens is OK too.
Gotta be a nice set though because who wants a cert for a set that no one wants? Still some cool sets where this strategy would work like 62 BB Bucks.

I have submitted small sets as they were part of a larger set. Meaning I sent the 11 card 1991 Star griffey set as i wanted all the Sr. cards for his master set.

There is no fun being number one out of one. You still are in last place.
