MPL Registry Set Ranking

in PCGS Set Registry Forum
Not sure why, but my Registry Set, the McCullagh Collection, just went from 16th to 24th ranking, and yet the point scoring would seem not to justify that. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what happened? Further review would seem to indicate the entire ranking has gone askew!
Thanks,.
Jonathan

    As a rather long time viewer of the Collectors Universe boards and Set Registry, I can assure ALL viewers of the Set Registry rankings that there OBVIOUSLY has been a glitch in the software and the reported rankings are all scrambled. I think we all recognize this IF we look at the screen and the reported numbers, BUT I guess we all feel a certain need to confirm with others that "there really is a problem". Well, I do believe there IS a problem and I do believe that the tech guys will fix it by Monday and then we all can go back to looking at the numbers with some sort of confidence that they "look right" again. Enjoy your weekend. Steveimage

    I am totally disappointed, as it would seem that I have been going about this Set Registry thing all wrong! Now, if only I understood the true ranking system, I could crush all that stood in my way with a few lowball coins and some pocket change.

    It probably would have been helpful if I had read all the other notices about the registry screwup before I posted my earlier comment. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.

    Jonathan-

    I'm with you. I saw my 36-42 Lincoln proof set go from #17 to #35, and thought what the heck??

    Then I got to the posted explanations, AFTER calling all over the place : )

    Matt,
    When PCGS fixes the rankings on the 1936-1942 Lincoln proof set registry, guess what? My set will be at 64.94 and Duane's set will be at 64.78. Does that mean that my set is worth more than his set? I doubt it, but it really comes down to that old refrain. My set is worth what another collector or dealer is willing to pay me for it. And Duane's set is worth what another collector or dealer is willing to pay him for it.
    The Set Registry is obviously weighted toward full red Lincolns as opposed to "toned" or RB/BN Lincolns. Each collector has his or her own preferences regarding that choice. In my case all my 36 to 42 proofs are RED with the exception of my 1937 which is an iridescent red brown. I chose that coin in 1988 because I liked the way it looked, but as a general statement I prefer full red Lincolns when I can afford them. JMHO. Steveimage

    Was the dripping sarcasm not obvious?

    Steve - I honestly sensed no sarcasm from your message in the least. Either you are very sarcastic and very good at it, or I am very naive and/or clueless.

    Or....you are being genuine?? image

    But either way, we agree - redheads get the bias....

    Ambro, you crack me up. Definitely gave me my laugh for the day, thank you. Seriously though, my own view is that you may not have given people enough time to respond to your offering, coupled with fact that there are some other 1909 PR65RD's in upcoming auctions that would give people a better gauge on where your pricing is relative to others. IMHO, I think PQ 1909 PR65RD's will exceed your asking price by the begining of the New Year.

    Duane & Matt,
    I never intended to come out as being sarcastic. I appologize if what I said was not clear. What I intended to say was (1) PCGS does in fact weigh red Lincoln's higher than rd/bn or brown Lincolns and that is why my set is rated higher than Duane's and (2) Value of these sets is not necessarily based on PCGS's rating, but rather on how collectors and dealers value the coins in the set when they are offered to them for purchase.

    Steve-

    Thanks for clarifying - you being sarcastic about something so minor did seem out of synch, from our experiences together in the past.

    Regards,

    OK, I am an idiot. This happens occasionally. I was being sarcastic. Remember:

    << I am totally disappointed, as it would seem that I have been going about this Set Registry thing all wrong! Now, if only I understood the true ranking system, I could crush all that stood in my way with a few lowball coins and some pocket change. >>

    And then I got this serious response from Steve. image

    And then since I assume that the whole world revolves around me, I just let the sarcasm comment hang out there like everyone would know what I meant, which was intended as a direct response to Steve's comment. Next time, I'll PM. Duh! See: "idiot" comment above.

    Sorry Steve.

    And if this isn't clear, I'm being apologetic, not sarcastic. Quick, everybody laugh.
