<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 2028798, member: 2486&quot;]Funkee...</p><p>I am in accord with your post about higher registry grades.</p><p>My former Large Size Collection the top graded note was a 65-66 simply for that reason alone.</p><p>The Small size collection was very selective on note in 67 and above which I may have had 1/2 dozen or so...the biggest difference between the two besides Artistic Design and size(Small and Large) is cost.</p><p>The 67 34D I just picked up was $210....not so bad..Auction estimations often reflect the high side, in this case I was the only bidder.</p><p>The Registry Set Competition has really never been by personal style....</p><p>so on my part perhaps I need to amend my advice and place holders on it by saying.. (example) if you are going to spend $1200 on a Large Size $5 in AU58 and a 63 is available for $1425..then save that extra $225 for the 63.</p><p>If you find a great Small size in 63 at $125 and a 65 goes for $160..heck, buy the 65 every time.</p><p>I sure hope I did not come across in a way that supports buying Top Pop Notes, that was not my intention. As a collector it is my personal style to buy notes that I do appreciate and I often go for the better graded notes..that&#039;s just my way..but I always look for deals along the way.</p><p>As mentioned in the past years, my collection is basically for my son when I leave this earth and I hope it ignites a internal flame for him for years and years to come.</p><p>So for each of you who read this or any of my post&#039;s, please understand that I am not suggesting that you buy Top Pop notes for you collection, just consider the next few grades. Good luck out there and thanks for posting your comments Funkee, in my opinion you are correct. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
