Vote popular or think certain sets like older or classic sets that might be ugly as skunk. In their mind get a higher score than a set whose photography is fabulous or borders that are fantastic but not considered a work of art.

Perhaps a suggestion is to have more definitions and criteria for ratings. 

Ratings by collectors 

Ratings for 🎨 Art and photography 

This subject reminds me of the Rating this set thread that went off the rails.

I think I've rated maybe two sets, and never look at the ratings on here, so I guess I'm not the demo. Feels like extra stuff for the sake of extra stuff. But maybe other people would love the idea.

I think some people simply don't respect others' opinions because it does not match their own.

I rate my comment a 10+.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

...Player: "Okay, well, Presto the drow-elf wizard will cast a Hold Monster spell on the beholder.  Then, Hefty the half-orc barbarian will use his +2 vorpal two-handed sword to slice open its eyeball."

...DM: "Presto manages to freeze the hideous creature, roll a d20 for Hefty"

...Player: "1, oh @#$%!"

...DM: "Hefty trips over a rock as he unleashes his mighty swing at the beastly pinata.  Unfortunately, the blade sinks *too* deep, cutting both the eye - and Beauty - in half."

Shows you what you know. Your comment is definitely a 3.5.

and trolls and opinions are like...

My first thought was the old adage, "opinions are like a**holes; everybody has one, and they all stink"

I know I've rated sets higher because they reminded me of my childhood, it was a cool picture of my favorite player, the backs were shiny, my team won the WS that year or even the set is vintage so it must be good.  

Right or wrong I think this is my prerogative. 

I also rated sets from my childhood higher. These sets are the ones that got me started on this crazy journey and will always be at the top of my list. Right now both 84-85 OPC and Topps hockey have my highest because they were and continue to be my all time favorites. In my opinion there is no set that is any better but only time will tell.
