<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1878401, member: 15309&quot;]Ya know, when you write it like that: &quot;who cares&quot; more than once, it gives a very negative connotation.&nbsp; In my experience many people who participate in the registries care, including the OP.&nbsp; If he didn&#039;t care, he wouldn&#039;t have taken the time to create this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Working on and completing a registry set and sharing it with others can fill you with pride and a sense of achievement.&nbsp; Winning an award for either a top ranking set or best presented set provides an even higher sense of achievement.&nbsp; So while I agree with your sentiment that registry points are not the end all be all, and that they should not restrict someone from collecting a coin that doesn&#039;t fit in their registry set, that shouldn&#039;t relegate the registries to the &quot;who cares&quot; category IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have long said that you can search the registries and within each series you can find the few individuals who have a passion for what they collect.&nbsp; Here are a few examples:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=98228&amp;Ranking=all" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=98228&amp;Ranking=all" rel="nofollow">Physicsfan3.14 Prooflike Type Set (7070)</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=8611&amp;Ranking=all" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=8611&amp;Ranking=all" rel="nofollow">Skymans TonedBennies</a></p><p><br /></p><p>and of course my set:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=55274" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=55274" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://boards.collectors-society.com/signatures/signature.php/NGC/set/55274/sig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>I just wish there were more collectors who liked to photograph their coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
