Whats the Difference??

What is the difference between Current Finest and All Time Finest. They both have the sets in the same order....at least in the 1965 category

If someone has their set over 90% complete, and then sells the set, it will cease to be listed in the "Current Finest" and only reside in the "All-Time Finest".

It is a way to keep a record of amazing sets that have come and gone over the years. Right now, it primarily is only a factor for many of the David Hall sets. However, it is also a factor in 1949 Bowman, for example, with Vargha's set that recently sold.

It's a great long-term strategy to have. In other collecting worlds (e.g. coins), a "pedigree" adds value to a card. And there is much knowledge to be gleaned from knowing where a card came from, whose collection it was in, etc.
