Set Registry

I didn't miss your point, I just didn't communicate mine clearly enough through my sarcasm.

I'm with you on this. I didn't see a second set - only saw one - but my point was that if all the best sets in the world are graded and registered, well, then there are not a whole lot of "best" T206 sets. You asked Jim for a number - I glanced quickly at the registry and only saw one set. So I was kinda laughing because if there's only one high-grade set registered, then it would only take one more to refute Jim's point.

I like grading, I embrace grading, and I have registered sets. I just can't buy into the idea that ALL the best collections are graded. First, "best" is a relative term: is a collection of one low-grade T206 Wagner "better" than a collection of a complete run of 1960s baseball sets in PSA 8? I don't know the answer to that, nor do I care to speculate.

Second, there are thousands of collections out there that none of us know about, and I'm not about to draw conclusions on the merits of something I've never seen.

That's all.
