I just started a PCGS State Quarter Proof Set by adding my only slabbed coin. I landed at No. 303 (Out of 305 Registered Sets). I was surprised at how many sets where registered for Proof State Quarters. It got me wondering - Which Sport or Non-Sport set has the largest number of sets Registered. Does anyone know?
Even when I finish the quarters in PR69DCAM (My goal), I'll barely break the top 100. The PR70's are too pricey for my blood.
30's R Want List:

R73 1933 Goudey Indian Gum - Series 288 - Nos. 118
Also looking for 1953 Parkhurst & 1953 Quaker Oats Ripley's BION.

    1955 topps has around 140.


    Yeah I saw that civil war had 2 more then mars.



    one thing about all time sets is that they can be counted more then 1x.

    Good for you.

    So even the most popular card sets have approx. half the number of state quarter sets listed. There are half a dozen coins I can think of that would sell for more than 1 million. I can only think of 4 in cards:
    1. PSA8 T206 Honus Wagner.
    2. PSA10 52 Topps Mickey Mantle
    3. PSA10 52 Topps Andy Pafko
    4. A High Grade 1914 Baltimore Ruth.
    Nos. 2, 3 & 4 have never sold for that amount, so it's just speculation on my part. Any other cards, that in your opinion, would have a shot of selling for more than 1 million?

    nope. not a one. The Wagner is the only one. I don't think any of the others will ever approach that amount. Ruth, if you found a 10 I don't think would even get to the 7 figure mark. Funny thing is, I've seen a lot more Wagner's than I've seen of the Ruth.

    So I should sell off all my cards and move the money to coins?

    Sorry, but for me coins are for spending and cards are for collecting...lol

    Best wishes to anyone who collects coins, toys, guns, cars, etc, etc, etc...To each his own..For the card collector's, specifically those of us on this message board (PSA Set Registry Forum), most of us do it because we love sports and have fun collecting the cards of our heroes. The Registry competition and the investment part of the equation are secondary to that.

    Coin collecting is much more mature than sport card collecting as a hobby. I would suspect that in time there will be 1 to 2 more million dollar cards. Also in the case of the state quarters it's not exactly hard to start that set and find the coins (getting the grade you want is another issue I know) while starting a T206 or 52 Topps set takes much more effort.
    Currently completing the following registry sets: Cardinal HOF's, 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1980 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, Bill Mazeroski Master & Basic Sets, Roberto Clemente Master & Basic Sets, Willie Stargell Master & Basic Sets and Terry Bradshaw Basic Set

    I've seen a lot more Wagner's than I've seen of the Ruth

    Ditto, I hadn't seen that Ruth (Baltimore news) until I think 5 years ago, not sure if it is the same one repeating or if there are more out there

    My intent was to point out the difference in popularity of coin vs. card collecting. Personally I have an Old Judge beater BB card collection, a large Non-Sport card collection, Vintage Star Wars Action Figure collection, a Comic Book collection plus Stamp & Coin collections. All of it is fun. Collect what you like & enjoy.

    Hello to All ,

    Hi Steve , your point taken about the ATF registry , many collectors have more than 1 set registered in non-sports as well as sports i suspect (lucky blighters)

    In the CWN current list there are some collectors who have 3 or more sets on the go , just wondering if that elevates Mars Attacks above CWN , i think it would .

    On the card side, the T206, and some 1950's sets are pretty good size.
    On the coin side, the Morgan dollars basic sets are pretty much #1 in terms of collector base, however the new Presidential sets are getting pretty big (I guess it is because they are the latest thing).
