Multiple copies in a Single Registry

8 posts in this topic

Greetings,

 

I noticed the BGS Registry (Beckett graded cards) has a new feature in their Registry. It's called "STACKING". Stacking is the ability to enter multiple copies of the same card into a single Registry

 

I have a bunch of multiple 9.8s that I'll like to insert into a single Registry.

 

Will the CGC Registry have this feature in the future? 893crossfingers-thumb.gif

 

Thanks

hm. I don't know. It depends on how the collectors feel about it. The decision would be driven by whether the community felt that a collection with duplicate copies was more impressive (and thus worth more points) than a collection that was exactly the same but without the duplicates.

 

 

Guys?

Tough call.

 

I would say one book per set.

 

If you have multiple copies, create multiple sets (with different names). 893whatthe.gif

Why couldnt you just award points for the highest graded book, but still allow people to list multiple books?

 

I second this approach.

Wasn't it assumed that the original poster wanted to enter multiple copies to get the added points? Otherwise why even do it, as opposed to starting a second set.

 

Personally I think "stacking for points" is a horrible idea as it defeats the purpose of accumulating the best set.

I agree with that.

Another reason why I would prefer a "Stacking-type" Registry, so I can keep track of my inventory.

Presently, I have (4) 9.8s of the same Byrne X-Men, and creating a minimum of four separate Registries is a waste of time (IMHO). frustrated.gif
