<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1578047, member: 4626&quot;]Well original question was just asking to explain the concept, more of a &quot;what&quot; than a &quot;why&quot; I guess.&nbsp; But yeah, 2nd is the main reasons the TPGs do it, it creates a bigger market for their services.&nbsp; 1 &amp; 3 are the main reasons for collectors.&nbsp; The main reason I&#039;d be interested personally would be to use it as essentially an online catalog, an easy way to keep track of what I have and show others what I have (problem is most registries don&#039;t allow coins not certified by them or outright raw).&nbsp; I have zero interest in the scoring system.&nbsp; I don&#039;t consider coin collecting to be a competition lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>There are plenty of free sites that can act as basically a coin catalog, and one of these days may use them.&nbsp; I have tons of coins though and photographing them all would be very time intensive.&nbsp; My paper money collection I can just scan and they look fine; but coins look terrible when they&#039;re scanned, because scanners don&#039;t work well on reflective surfaces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
