<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2472685, member: 71723&quot;]I&#039;m the very last person on the planet to know or explain anything about registry sets - the whole idea runs counter to every fiber of my being. That said, do the TPGs give extra registry points for the non-standard labels they themselves proliferate? If so, that&#039;s a pretty shameless and dastardly way to manipulate customers, isn&#039;t it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, they&#039;re not going to get me with that garbage, but for registry fanboys and goils, it would seem that at the margin, they&#039;re setting up a false and ephemeral demand for something that the old school core of the hobby values not one whit. Of course, that&#039;s marketing in the 21st century - all sizzle, no steak.</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, if you think about it, that is what every &quot;problem causing practice&quot; in numismatics boils down to - steakless sizzle. Cable TV, excess labeling, flipper culture,&nbsp; Bullionista web rants, every word Peter Schiff ever utters, all of it. Marketing for marketing&#039;s sake, with no concern for the product or the ultimate customer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
