I notice you have rankings on the sets (specifically looking at football) and use these rankings to determine the Top Sets for each sport.  I was wondering what the ratings are measuring?  Is it set design?  The overall players in the set?  The rookie class in the set?

Just wondering because I am looking at going through each season's set (football) and rating the overall design using my own criteria.  I just thought if you already had some data on rating set designs that would be something I might look to take into consideration.

Thanks

Voted on by members of the site. On the Overview screen for each set, insert set, parallel set  etc. etc. right at the top section. Where it states Rating , should be a link directly underneath Rate this set ... click on that and you can rate any on a score of 1 - 10. The more people that vote the set closer to 10 gives it a higher ranking. 

Yes, I gathered that.  I was just wondering what they were voting on…the design? The rookie class?  The overall players?  The number of cards?  It’s just left a bit ambiguous.

Yep - and it remains that way - people can use whatever criteria they want for rating the set. Could be sentimental value as well. Could be someone who dislikes the rating system going through and giving all sets a score of 1 to lower all the scores.

It's rather random, and many of us here largely ignore it.

So I spent a good 15-20 seconds pondering whether the 2006 Ultra Football set was a 7.5 or a 7.0 ... only to be ignored? Dan, say it ain't so .  What year were those Star baseball cards you like so much released again?
