<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1579014, member: 112&quot;]I don&#039;t think there&#039;s anybody who understands being proud of your collection better than I do. When I was still collecting I was as proud as anybody could ever be. And I loved to show my new acquisitions and share my collection with others. And I was constantly posting pictures of my coins on all of the forums. But I didn&#039;t need to be a Registry member to do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nor am I saying there is anything wrong with being a Registry member, far from it. If that is what rings your bell, then ring it until the cows come home.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for keeping track of your collection, there&#039;s any number of web sites that allow you to do that, and for free. Heritage has a very excellent program just for that, complete with automatically updating pricing info. Coin World offers the same thing, so do many others. And you can share them others as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the one and only thing that the Registries do that nobody else does is to make it a competition, that is the very purpose of the Registries. To compete with other collectors to see who can organize the sets with the highest scores. And the only reason there is to do that - is bragging rights.</p><p><br /></p><p>Harsh ? Maybe, but I think it&#039;s completely honest. And true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
