Just kidding --there's nothing there. At all. @Charles_Morgan - IS there some significant announcement to be made, or do we all just take our marbles and go home? You made it sound like we'd be impressed with what was in store. So far... we're not.

    The environment of the census is such that the concepts and applications are being transitioned with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools incorporating the needs and experiences of the users population so that the scale of the terrain can be adjusted to best pivot to the phase in which the decisions to move to a broader event can be fully realized.

    I'm not exactly impressed but there is something. Not enough but it's not accurate to say nothing.

    Cr*p -- I'll grant you that one - I looked through the contents listing, and got disgusted and tossed it down. Newsflash I guess would be fitting enough, I suppose, since they flashed right by the whole thing - as did I. Thanks for catching that and correcting me! (I'll see if this new forum will let me edit my original post)

    I want to level-set here so the members who've been most vocal aren't left spinning their wheels waiting on something specific.

    There is genuine, strategic human involvement behind the PCGS Set Registry program. This work is continuous and long-term in scope — some changes will be announced publicly, others will happen behind the scenes without a specific callout. No single incremental change should be read as a signal of the program's overall direction or pace.

    I'm actively engaged with this community and will continue to be accessible.

    Apparently editing posts on here is not an option, the settings gear-wheel and three-dots next to the post do nothing - at least on two of my computers and three browsers. So I'll leave my original post as-is (not that it's all too far off)

    @Charles_Morgan - This vocal member is now spinning wheels even worse - I have absolutely NO idea what you just said up there.

    ARE WE LOSING THE BANNERS? WILL THEY BE UPDATED TO RECOGNIZE 2026 BEST OF REGISTRY PLACES??? WILL PLATINUM AND 10-YEAR BANNERS BE POSTED TO THOSE WHO HAVE EARNED THEM???

    That should NOT be a hard set of questions to answer. You've seen us ask that question for months now and have continually skirted around the issue doing your best to specifically NOT address those concerns.

    There's nothing "level-set" about it. The questions have been, and continue to be, avoided. These are NOT complex issues. The fact that they keep getting avoided certainly gives the impression that we've got our answer - They're yes-or-no answers that should not require ANY extra thought or research. Or delay. You claim to be accessible - BE ACCESSIBLE. And not in a "one on one phone call" sort of way, we ALL have the same questions, and WE ALL deserve the answers.

    WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE BANNERS?

    IMO, Mr. Morgan would make a great politician. After reading his statement I'm still in a fog.

    "Waiting on something specific"? He said details are coming in early posts.

    To be honest, I was not expecting to win "Best Modern World Coin Set". What a pleasant surprise. I think that is the first time a Canadian set has taken that award.

    I received the September-October Issue #9 on Wednesday. Having been at the Pittsburgh event I expected to see the full list of set registry winners somewhere within and found it straight away.

    For me it was HUGE to see my modest $2.50 set recognized within the same article announcing Hall of Fame sets and the PCGS Set of the Year. Until I got the call from Charles I never expected any sort of recognition. - The award was thus a pleasant surprise. Going forward my set could easily be surpassed when other $2.50 specialists decide to join the registry. I certainly don't view future recognition as an entitlement.

    Kudos to Charles for helping organize the registry event and all at PCGS that provide us with a showcase for our collections.
