Joined the Dark Side, started a PCGS Registry Set

Yes, that was part of my point. Also, because the second tier TPG's aren't viewed as reliable, they can't be used in the registry. I imagine people would be upset if an ICG MS66 were assigned the same points as a NGC/PCGS graded coin.

Believe me, I'm competitive and agree with much of Jason's post as well. I like the idea of being able to compare sets with other collectors and it seems the easiest way to do that is to assign points by coin grade.

I have 5 competitive sets at NGC. I don't know if I'll ever complete any of them, since I primarily like to buy what appeals to me and am not driven to complete any of them. It's nice to see where those sets are in comparison to the others that are registered. Part of me thinks it's neat to compete that way and part of me thinks it's amusing how worked up people get over these registry sets.

I got em in both. I like ngc for my type set as I can enter both and see how close to complete it is. I like my trade dollar registry at pcgs as they have a set that includes both business strikes and proofs and that's what I hope to compete less the 84 and 85. I do wish I could get a couple of my ngc ones on there I may end up crossing them tho

 

I am a member. When I first joined, I started to do that and now can't remember why I decided to add them on the NGC site.
