<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beefer518, post: 7590141, member: 87737&quot;]When you are looking at making a purchase, how much does how it affects your registry come in to play in your purchase decision?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had a few registry sets I&#039;ve been working on, and I have upgraded some coins because I didn&#039;t particularly care for the original coin in the set, and I slowly was moving up, which got me pumped up about moving up in the rankings. That started me upgrading more and more coins, and while I was slowly climbing the ladder, I&#039;ve realized that;</p><blockquote><p>A) - I&#039;ll never make it any higher then Top 20 (and that&#039;s in one or two subsets)</p><p>B) - I&#039;ve been making some purchases solely for the bump in the set</p><p>C) - If I keep it up, I&#039;ll either go broke or my wife will throw me out </p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>Right now I&#039;m at a point in 2 subsets (Booker T Washingtons and Washington/Carvers) that I&#039;m close to completing, and I&#039;m in a bit of a quandary on the last few remaining coins. I can either get them in 66, or save the money and get them in slabs at any grade just to qualify. In either case for those 2, it isn&#039;t a question of the money per se, but more of is it a waste to get the higher grades? I already have ones that I really like (toned just right), or in grades that I couldn&#039;t justify going higher (have 66+ w/CACs).</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there are the 2 other sets that my focus is really on; the short set of 50 old silver commems, and the 144 complete commemorative sets. I only need 2 for the 50 set, (I need to cross a number of them to NGC/PCGS) and will be going at least 66 on both of those (Hudson &amp; Spanish Trail). The 144 will never be at 100%, as I see no need to get all the Arkansas, Boone, Texas, and Oregons, etc. I may add to them, but it is doubtful I&#039;ll ever get them all. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So if you made it this far; does your registry make much difference to you when you buy?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
