Default VCP set opinion

I know there are a lot of VCP members here and we greatly appreciate all that you do.....

A few years ago we started tracking T206 Piedmont 350 backs normally covered in our T206 Piedmont and SC set
and now thinking that might not have been the best idea...

So would it be alright with all of you to let me combine the 2 sets together into 1 again?

I said this to you a while back and (honestly) got a snarky reply. Piedmont 350 is only special for 11 cards. It is totally unspecial for all others and listing all others apart from the SC and other piedmont backs does not make sense. For example, many t206 speakers have a piedmont 350 back, which is very very common. To look for speaker comps, I need to check SC/Pied and Pied 350, which is inefficient.

As an aside, I have been a VCP gold member for many years and love the service. When are you guys going to get into tickets?

I’m all for combining, one less thing to toggle when looking.
Thanks,
Bob

In favor of combining them. I’m also not sure what changed, but the “Piedmont & Sweet Caporal” versions of each card are not easy to get to. I thought they used to be at the top of each search (ie “t206” Cobb would have “t206 Piedmont & Sweet Caporal Ty Cobb Portrait - Red”) listed first. Would be great to get those pinned to the top since I imagine those are the most common searches

^^ THIS. Prewar is not my main thing; I only dabble in it, so not huge to me - but I’m not sure why I see the back options for Hindu, EPDG, or even the scraps, etc. when searching for a common T206, before the far more ubiquitous Piedmont and SC’s.

Ryan,
Sorry if I gave you a snarky remark that is not me at all and of course never intentional...I do recall some of our emails though and thought all was good...

Please combine the sets back to one. It was unnecessary to seperate them in the first place, people can learn about the 11 difficult cards through experience. I had a similar "snarky" experience with you years ago regarding another issue, maybe two people saying something about it in one thread will help with future communication.

Bobby, all good. I am in favor of eliminating Pied 350

In these process of combining and very slow going might actually take a week to combine...so please be patient with the process

Thanks again
