I think it depends on how used the chips are. I had sets of PNYs and Bahamias that were near mint. And I have a huge set of CPs. The CPs that I have that are near mint are the same imo as the PNYs and Bahamias in terms of slipperiness. The more used ones are a bit more slippery, but I wouldn’t call them a problem. To each their own, I guess.
This. Sure, there are probably some sets that found their way in due to votes from friends and not due to the set itself, but for the most part I believe it’s just the evolution timeline.
@Irish thanks for posting this here, I haven’t seen many of these sets before (and unfortunately looks like a lot of the older picture links are broken). It’s fun to see how sets have evolved over time and certain themes played off of each other. Has there ever been any consideration to retroactively induct sets into the HOF? I see some gorgeous sets in these lists that I’m surprised didn’t make it (Aurora Club for example). Given how sets and tastes have evolved it may be worth revisiting some of these.
You've finally hit the top moment of Nirvana at PCF, I see.
Excuse me, my sets aren't in yet. That's my bread and butter!
Oh we got a few of those.
I think my ignore list is almost entirely forum historians and curators.
Ehhh. I'd say they are both as important. One can ruin the other pretty fast. But people undervalue the inlay design, I'd agree.
This set brought the idea to my mind. Pretty unremarkable colors and spot progression according to PCF standards but based on the inlays alone I’d probably take this set over a lot of other sets. Credit to @Santa123
At one time that 312 was the only edge spots available at ASM before it became CPC
LOL...YEP!!312
The embodiment of chipping in general. HoF and @JMC9389 's annual "best xyz" threads are just another avenue for us to share pron, have some enjoyment, or have something to bitch about, since the latter is how some people seem to derive their enjoyment from the hobby
. It's nice/appreciated that people even take the time to run this stuff.There are legacy sets up for vote every year, I believe.
....and/or stamp design. Anyone that has seen (or especially felt the quality of) Kifer-stamping over the past year or so knows.
Not a direct induction into the HOF, but as @Rieguy noted, recent HOF committees have often included a legacy set (ie, a set outside the current eligibility window) to include in the voting for the HOF.

Didn’t even know that…Wanted and Trade ads were nearly useless before, but now that they are removed from the general Classifieds, they are completely useless. If the problem is too much spam, then limit the bumps to weekly vs. daily.

Agree. They r completely useless now.Wanted and Trade ads were nearly useless before, but now that they are removed from the general Classifieds, they are completely useless. If the problem is too much spam, then limit the bumps to weekly vs. daily.

That might be a possibility, although his new For Sale thread he is working on, looks like it can have selected descriptors in the header that can be selected to filter. Either way or both are an interesting option.
I can see the auctions. Not sure splitting the wanted/trade into their own categories makes a huge difference. If someone is looking to trade, why would they not just want to look at trade items all together as opposed to having to do an extra step of filtering out the others. Same for wanted ads. Does not seem that big a deal. They all still show up in the general messages, which is where most people will see them anyway.Wanted and Trade ads were nearly useless before, but now that they are removed from the general Classifieds, they are completely useless.
