POLL: Top Pop Bonus Points

kwtoz

Let's try again. Looks like 4G dropped just about all I typed.

It like opinions on the new Bonus Point system. Do you like it?

I hate it. A score of 10 is probably no longer a perfect set. My scores should be based on my cards and not someone elses. If PSA insists on keeping it, they should at least give the user access to old system score computations.

If the current system was in effect when I decided to start collecting graded cards, I wouldn't have chosen PSA.

"ping" and "ps" in the next reply are funny. Both, along with the truncated title "top" are Unix/Linux commands. I use both OSes.

I thought weighted ratings were ridiculous. I deleted almost 100 sets when they went to half grades. This just completes the jumping of the shark.

Dislike. I couldnt care less about POP.

Hate it. If you are going to have something like that at all, I think it should be in the set rating category and not the grade category.

It makes no difference to me one way or the other. This is only affecting the elite of each set. For regular people like me that can only afford mid grade cards, it means little. It means that the big dogs are going to be a little further in front. No big deal to me. I wasn't competing anyway.

Glad I don't compete in these things. I imagine there are a lot of collectors losing sleep over their sets, lol.

Where can you go from there?

If PSA is going to do this they also need to make PSA 1's a negative for an incentive to upgrade the set. JJ

It will have the effect of making the top rated sets farther away from the rest of the field.

Not saying if that is a good thing or a bad thing, just a mathematical observation.

Non issue for me, I use the registry as a checklist and am focused on completing sets as opposed to competing for top spot.

MULLINS5

I can see people cracking cards out of holders to get extra points. More registry craziness.

Hate the new system.

p.s. Just using the "parallel analogy" of the Spinal Tap movie clip illustrates the absurdity of the whole thing.

Agree with this. Fun is in completing the set.

I don't care about the new system. I will never be at the top of most of the sets I collect so it has almost no effect on me. I do wish they would add another column to show your rating without the bonus. ( the old way )

Griffins

just looked at one of my sets. 24 of the 25 cards in the set are the highest graded, half of those 1 of 1's. The one that is not is 1 grade off the highest graded.
I'm at 5.84, finest possible used to be 5.93 or so, it's now 7.26.
Completely pointless, and makes no sense at all. Guess I'm done with the registry completely, and will probably start collecting more of a mix of graded cards than before.
Really ill conceived idea.
