Half-baked t206 monster registry idea

[stutor]

Hi Jim! Thank you for the nice comment. Have you ever visited Scot Reader’s t206insider website? Scot is a pioneer of t206 research and his website has a registry that accommodates PSA and SGC entries. It uses some sort of scale that adds points for grade and back difficulty. I really wish more people would use that site. I started adding mine but haven’t updated it lately. His ebook Inside T206 is a must read...I have quite literally read it a dozen times.

Hi Sonny. I have been all over his site and have read his paper multiple times over the last 10 years or so its been available. I did miss however that he had a registry with a formulaic number based on back, condition and subject....so maybe this has been tried, but i would say that it has not particularly caught on. Which might tell us all we need to know about the interest in such a thing.

Agreed. Sadly, it never caught on. The PSA registry is all that really matters at this point. If you guys ever decide to give it a shot, please let me know if I can help.

I think scott's site has captured the in-depth way to do it with all factors considered and multiplied together: scarcity, back, and grade, with every front having a nearly-unique scarcity...problems with this approach:

1. requires entry of every single card to come up with a result.
2. requires grade evaluation of every single card
3. submit to a website and then let it calculate formula.

In my mind, these make it great as a "Registry" if people want to take the time to enter every card, but poor as a simple yet slightly more nuanced alternative to the monster number.

Thanks Sonny for mentioning T206 Insider. Scot's site is outstanding. I have my set listed in there & it's fun to update it periodically. I believe though, it doesn't account for POP status, on the individual cards. That would be a huge lift for Scot to do, I imagine. But, I would encourage any Net 54 user, to check out the site & register their set. The "Price Check" is especially useful.
