I don't know much about the registry. What does it mean for a set to be retired?

LOL, you can't be serious? *facepalm*

I just hit "stop" on the microwave popcorn.

It means those cards are no longer in their registry inventory.

Thanks for answering my question. From the description in the auction listing:

"With its 4.15 GPA, this assembly, as published to account for 96 cards, merits "#1 Current Finest" placement on the PSA Set Registry"

So it looks like the description was accurate.

Correct.

I'd start with deleting this thread.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Golden but they clearly did nothing wrong here.

Also, you spent $50k on a registry set not knowing how the registry works. To look at it in that light, does it even matter if the set was #1 or #4?

Great set BTW, and congrats on the pickup.

Fraud also requires reasonable reliance. Something you can fact check in a few seconds isn't necessarily reasonable to rely on.

I suspect what others are suggesting, sometimes in their own special way, is that you should be more focused about the individual cards you just acquired, rather than the precise spot on the registry, as the relative spot on the registry shouldn't be a meaningful consideration.

Based on a quick glance at the registry, at the moment, you're the only one with a complete set on the registry. As noted by others here, the other collectors that have previously completed the set have now retired their sets, which usually means that they've sold all or a part of their sets. The next set down below you on the list is a long way down at only 18.75% complete.

One way to read that is it's not a popular set to collect, at least in PSA slabs. Another way to read it is that it's an expensive and/or difficult set to collect in PSA slabs. Either way, you're the proud new owner of the only complete set on the registry.

So congrats on the new set, and hopefully you enjoy having it, regardless of what's shown on the Set Registry.
