One big problem is the weightings are not done consistently. In sets with a lower profile, they don't bother with weightings at all. In the 1967 Wacky Packages set, Ratz Crackers (the most valuable wacky card of all time, worth $5k plus in high grade) has the same weight as a common worth under $100.
That is very true. When I submitted the request for the '83 Braves Topps set, I listed higher weights for several of the cards. They're all weighted at 1 in the published set.
This change could have been ridiculous for Hall of Fame sets and other key card sets that allow many different cards in a player slot. A 9 of some unimportant legends set issue that no one else bothered to submit would be worth more points than a 10 of the player's rookie card, as long as there are at least 3 of those 10s.

This happened to me and when I reminded them that I had sent in weights for each card that were different then what they published, they changed them to what I submitted right away.
