When do they announce the 2011 PCGS Registry Set winners?

Any ideas?

    They already notified the winners via email but i do not know when they will announce it officially

    PCGS told me that postings will more than likely come out much closer to the end of the month. I have not heard of any pre-posted awards being emailed in advanced. Did you yourself get a PCGS registry email stating you had an award? -MWH

    Let me correct my statement. They sent out notifications to the award winners not necessarily the top people in a certain set.

    Dear Set Registry Members,

    Every year since its inception in 2001, the PCGS Set Registry has seen an increase not only in registered sets (now over 58,000) but in completed sets. Amazingly, 23,960 sets are 90-100% complete. The Registry has helped hundreds of collectors focus on specific areas and has encouraged completion. Selecting major award winners from this large group of phenomenal sets is a daunting task for our judges. To all registrants, we say "THANK YOU!" for making the PCGS Set Registry what it is today. It is our great pleasure and honor to present the following winners of the PCGS Set Registry awards for 2011:

    Congrats to all of the winners!! Still seems odd to me that they put an unviewable set into their HOF. I guess we all have to take PCGS's word for it that the High Desert Collection is worthy of the HOF... I'm not even thinking photos are needed, even though that Simpson off-metal Lincoln collection w/ trueviews is da bomb!! But come on, at least reveal a list of what is in that set and is worthy of the HOF. Is the type set full of high grade common dates??? Or did the owner go for the keys???
