What's with the obscured sets?

I just logged on to check out the latest journals and noticed that my three large cent sets (middle dates, late dates, & all) have all dropped from #3 to #4. No one had been close behind. The newcomer ahead of me is now #1 in two of those three categories. That's fine by me, as I never had any hope of being #1 in any of them. Even though there is a part of me that feels the competitive drive, I just don't have the time or money.

What bothers me is that the sets that recently appeared are all obscured. Those sets obviously have to have some pretty nice coins. (Given the timing, all I can assume is that many Holmes and Naftzger coins are included.) I just think it would be nice for the rest of us to be able to appreciate the set, if only by seeing what dates & grades are represented. The total scores just don't do it for me. Of course, decent photos would also be nice, and descriptions can say why the coins are special to the owner.

Anyway, I'll be going through a period with no new acquisitions. I need to let my numismatic allowance build up again after record spending this year. During this time, I'll try to improve the descriptions of my registered coins. Happy collecting to all.
