[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1578996, member: 15929"]Thats a bit harsh Doug. I participate in the PCGS Registry because it allows me to keep track of my collection, gives me just a little bit of direction and allows me a certain amount of recognition for that which consumes a lot of my time. Having a number one set is kinda nice since the reality is that there are MANY different collections of the same thing. Each collection can be "just barely there" or a well thought out set. The registry rankings simply put them in order. I don't brag on my set(s) but I do enjoy comaraderie with others within the specific registry(ies) which I participate in. I think that without the PCGS Registry, I would not have formed certain bonds with specific collectors and the reality is, I'm just one of 200,000,000 other collectors worldwide that have a name and no face associated with it. I'm really a nothing until I get mutual appreciation for the coins I've spent money on acquiring and/or having graded and then selected for my registry. But thats just me. Oh, I forgot to mention, since PCGS typically charges for detailed population reports and detailed pricing information, being a registry set member (which only requires a valid email address) gives me "free" access to that information.[/QUOTE]
