Most competitive PSA Set Registry Sets?

Posts: 2 ✭
Beginning in 2013, I've fought hard with others for the #1 spot in some modern player Set Registry sets. Then after a bit, the excitement died down.
I was wondering:
What do you think are the most competitive (i.e., most registered sets and most active) Set Registry sets right now? All-Time?

I think the competition revolves over time from set to set, I remember a few years ago the NFL Rookie HOF set was the hottest thing in the industry for awhile but it lost its steam, I have no idea what the most popular set is now but whatever it is it will change at some point.
I'm thinking you can't just pick one set, more like most competitive set within the sport.
I recall in the 2006-2007 time frame that the 1955 Topps baseball card set was on fire, thus my handle of MCMLVTOPPS from collecting heavily then. Lots of bidders looking for PSA 8 and PSA 7s to complete their sets. In those days, a Clemente PSA 7 could be had for about $2.2-$2.5k range...now it's insane at well over $10k+ !! The Clemente PSA 8 is now selling for over $40k!! I try not to bite my lip when I realize I once had a Clemente PSA 8 that I "won" for $3.8k and sold it about a year later for a paltry $4.5k. That's called "the one that got away".
Having put together 3 of those sets, one just about 15 cards short of a straight PSA 8 set, one a full PSA 7, the other a PSA 6 set I did with another guy. The fun really kicked in when you were down to 10 cards or less...you become an eBay junkie.
I'm not sure there are as many set builders as there once was, more star card collectors. Commons in the 55T set in both PSA 7 and 8 are very cheap. I'd bet you could put about 75% of the set together in PSA 7 in less than a month. BUT, once you hit that Clemente and Koufax, they'll take a few layers off your plastic!!! A Clemente PSA 8, sold for $150,391 last July, a PSA 7, sold for $14,744 this past December. That is just INSANITY!!
The most competitive set is the one you're building

Just curious, for all the sets that show no one working on them, didn’t someone have to request that set in order to get it listed? Either whoever requested the set changed their mind and decided not to collect it or they are waiting to complete it before uploading their cards I would guess. Interesting.
THEY MAKE ALL THESE SETS NO ONE WANTS TO PARTAKE,
AND I AM WAITING THREE YEARS FOR MINE...LOL

So PSA does create sets on their own without a request?
probably someone asked for them ..then deleted their sets ..leaving them blank
