Anyone hear anymore of the panel vote?

InsaneBain

I was wondering if anyone has heard any more about the panel variation vote? I recieved an e-mail from a guy that stated that Joe said at the nationals that the vote to keep the panels in the sets were ahead . i just cant see that. The mesage board was almost entirely people wanting the variations out. How will we know the true results of this vote? I still feel that PSA will keep them in the registry just to try and make more money. Are there any others out there besides me that is ready to give the registry up also or is it just me? I feel like these variations are overkill.

If they keep all the different variations, it just means I won't be completing the affected sets.

It was previously stated that message boards participants are only 1% of PSA's business, so we don't really count.

To be honest it really doesn't matter if they keep them or throw them out. Many of the Master Sets are so big no one has a prayer of completing them either way.

I find it hard to believe that the votes to keep all the panels in are ahead as almost all the forum posts were against them. I know forum users are a small minority, but some of the big player collectors are present here. Ripken collectors apparently don't care for the custom panels as one seller has listed 6 A.S. Game panels and 4 1983 Fleer Stamp panels 3 times now and they aren't getting any bids. Some of these are pop 1 PSA 10's too.

Kevin,

I still can't believe you have as many Ripkens as you do. If I had to pick someone to complete it my vote would be for you.

It truly seemed like this vote was in favour of eliminating all of the redundant variations. And it is not the "1%'ers" that JO used to reference of people who used this forum, the group included a number of Master Set of the Year winners.

I would really love to know the vote count if that is indeed the case...

Ha -- I replied without even seeing this, Anthony. I find that hard to believe, if most of the collectors of some of the largest and biggest master player sets have all voted against this.

Maybe they should give higher "weights" to the people with the bigger collections in the registry. Kind of like they give higher "weights" to the harder cards in the registries.

I don't know the vote results, but I'd like to say that I collect Nolan Ryan cards in multiply variations such as a full panel and the single card, but some of these Registry sets that I've looked at have single cards and multiple panels where it is the player on a 2 card panel, then the player on a 4 card panel and then the player on an 8 card panel.

That is a little much even for me...Donato

This is a message to all the members,

There is a poll taking place right now regarding the panel issue.

For the record (and I went on record at the National Set Registry luncheon in front of 150 or so customers), I personally think that the different combinations should become an either/or in the registry - not separate requirements.

Unlike a true variation, the hand-cut issues simply come in different forms (entire panels, individual cards, connected to different players, etc).

Technically, they are not different cards, they were just cut differently.

That being said, the registry was built for collectors - our customers. So, regardless of what I think, we want to satisfy the people who have supported us for so long.

To my amazement (and I also made mention of this at the show) - so far, the voters are leaning towards keeping them in and disagree with my stance.

The point here is PLEASE make your stance known by voting. Cosetta Robbins is handling the voting process and I can assure you every vote counts.

I think the feelings of most of the board members can be found in this thread.
I really don't think it's possible that any option other then option 2 could be winning.

Joe,
Your opinion is the same as almost every board member. Don't let player sets become watered down with endless panel variations!

Joe- Make PSA a republic, not a democracy. This is an issue that you should decide. You clearly see the issue the same way that 99% of us see it. This forum is where your most dedicated PSA set builders live. We have spoken (see thread mentioned in previous post). You have spoken. If the votes are going the other way (again, how is this possible??), then please step in the fray and settle the issue. Don't let this topic ruin the master sets....It will.
