would this solution be a good compromise?
I think RB/BN collector's might like to see small cents, both Indian and Lincoln cents RB/BN, MS and PR coins, be allowed to compete amoungst themselves in their own new category. This would give them a better chance to get a "top spot" in their "own Set Registry category" points given for RED coins will never allow them to reach this goal.
What might work best would be to make it mandatory that the RB/BN have to remain in the old category with the RED sets but REDS would not be allowed to enter the 2nd and new RB/BN category. So in theory, the RB/BN sets could be in both categories such as the "all color" category and the "RB/BN" category. Mixed sets which include some Red along with RB or BN coins would also be excluded from the new RB/BN set category because they would have a partial RED point advantage. My reasons for this are written below
Let us assume that you have 30 sets listed in the "existing category" and 21 of the sets just have RB/BN coins in them. If you forced them to move this would reduce the number of sets in the old category down to only 9 competitors who had just RD sets. I think it's best to have the same larger number in the old category so it is not drastically reduced but in turn let the RB/BN have the choice if they want to enter their own exclusive new category where the REDS are not allowed to participate?
So in theory, lets say a highest rated existing RB/BN set is currently ranking #6 in the old category. If he/she chooses to enter the new exclusive RB/BN set category he/she would instantly take the #1 spot in the new category but would still remain in the old category at #6.
Does this make any "cents"

I voted yesterday.
As a dealer, I would be all for it - expand the market and the registry hysteria.
As a collector, I've lost interest in the registry and just enjoy coins for what they are.

I am of the same thinking - as a dealer, I enjoy helping people put their registry set together, but as a collector, I choose and collect coins for what I like about them, and don't really care about "competing" with others - I simply enjoy looking at pretty copper, mine and everyone else's.
