<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2230582, member: 26302"]My only data comes from the fact most coin collectors collect state quarters, Lincoln cents, and other circulated coins. Your example points basically to a limited number of collectors, those who collect slabbed modern coins. Sure, amongst slabbed modern coins Registry Sets are having a ton of impact, both on 70 and 69 pricing like you said. However, most of the world does not collect slabbed modern US coins. Believe it or not, millions are coin collectors of world coins, circulated US coins, even ancient coins. None of those markets have anything to do with Registry Sets. So, if you wish to preface it and mainly talk about modern US collectors who collect slabbed coins, sure I could agree with you sir. But if you are any other kind of collector outside that narrow definition, I do not believe you should accuse them of living in a bubble. There are lots of ways to enjoy this hobby, and if this works for you then great. It simply does nothing for me and millions like me, and we are not "deficient" because we simply do not wish to collect like this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
