Re: Set Composite Weight Review/Update??
<< <i>your card might be optional if it was added to the set 90 days before the deadline for awards and there are less than 3 of the card already graded. after the deadline it will move to required status. if there is a 1 of 1 in the set it should be removed. psa states in the rules that ultra rare cards are not allowed.… -
Re: Question about set rating
<<Should there be or is there a benefit to having heavier weighted cards in your registry as opposed to commons? If so, it is not reflected in the final set grade. >> The early benefit is a higher initial set rating if you have more of the heavier weighted cards than commons as you are building the set. Once you reach 100%… -
PROOF LINCOLN CENT COMPLETE VARIETY SET WEIGHTINGS
I took a look at the weightings assigned to the new Proof Lincoln Cent complete variety set registry (1909-to date) and comparied it to the existing Proof Lincoln Cent with Major Varieties (1909-to date) The complete variety set adds 12 new coins and assigns various weights to each. What I find interesting is that the… -
Should PCGS allow cleaned coins in registries?
Just a thought here. PCGS's sister division PSA slabs and grades baseball cards with qualifiers, and allows them in their registries, with a significant weighted point reduction of course. It would be interesting if PCGS would go ahead and grade and slab coins with a qualifier on the slab stating "cleaned", "altered… -
Re: Bonus points
Does anyone have a clear understanding of how PSA determines the weights for various cards? From your experience, does it appear PSA applies the weighting of cards consistently? Does PSA ever adjust weights over time to reflect changes in value, rarity, or population of cards? From my experience, it appears to be… -
Re: What are some of the cards benefiting and being harmed by the registry?
Bosox, that's a good analysis. I agree with everything you said except for... "High priced, high grade stars. Market is weak for these and the registry may be partly to blame especially on the unweighted sets." I think they're weak because they were at such elevated levels for so long. I don't think the Registry was to… -
CTOTD (Controverisal thought of the day)
Factoid 1: PCGS used to give out 70DCAMs & MS70s on a regular basis. (I don't know how a factoid differs from a fact, but CNN seems to think it is important) Factoid 2: PCGS no longer grades very many coin PR70DCAM or MS70. A few of the commems still get these grades, but how many regular issue coins get these grades… -
Re: new weighted system (Imoprtant)
Pat: I have been kicking this around in My Feeble mind since yesterday. For Us in the Mercury Registry I believe the Weighting Issue has little or no effect to anyone. To Me completenes of the Set seems to be Everyone's Goal. The Deducting of Points if the Coin is not a FB coin even Frosts Me somewhat. The only Place I can… -
Re: Grading, pricing, absurdity,and too much time on my hands.......
<< <i>Price = function of (registry competition) If you believe this formula, you will understand the price difference between 66.99 and 67.01 in today's market. >> This is part of it, but probably not in the case of the 1922 Peace dollar. Apart maybe from a 1922 type set, the 1922 is a common date and having one graded… -
Re: A different Dilema: Registry integrity
tradedollarnut, I have no intentions to be rude or mean BUT, it seems to me the interpretation of the rules is best done with a bit of "common sense". PCGS does not allow coins in a different service holders or raw to be entered in the registry. Everyone wants to use the estimated sets as a way to reinvent the wheel but we…
