<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2500119, member: 71723"]No no, that's a really GOOD rant. Registry sets are a perfect marketing ploy for people who can't enjoy coins without a competition angle. I find them borderline offensive myself, but they aren't targeting MY demo with registry sets. I buy coins as if it were still 1973. I buy what pleases me and I don't care to be led around by some ring inserted in my nose by some Marketing MBA at a TPGS or a major auction company. I find what they've done to the hobby equal parts offensive and comical. So I just laugh and continue to do my own thing - enjoy the study of the art and history without the need to gameify it.</p><p><br /></p><p>They're coins, people, not Pokémon. You do NOT "gotta catch 'em all". Besides, if you have a reverse proof Roosy dime, you already have the "coin of the century", right? I'm pretty sure I read that right here on CoinTalk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
