<p>[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2230573, member: 60292"]I have no definitive information or data that proves how much prices are or aren't affected by registry sets. I also don't have any data to show whether most active collectors participate or don't participate in registry sets. Perhaps you do since you seem pretty certain that most collectors don't.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, I don't think it is unreasonable to think that prices across all grades are affected because of registry sets. I agree that top pops are most affected however lower graded coin's value could very well be affected because it's simply not a top pop or not near top pop. How many times have we seen a big dealer sell coins at a loss because the grade came in lower than the dealer hoped. So the strategy for these dealers becomes hope to hit on a few very high/top grades to sell them to registry bozos at ridiculous prices and then just recoupe what they can on the ones that missed. That affects the market price for lower grades. And this works all the way down the line.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
