[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3260589, member: 15309"]No, all a big checkbook gets you are the coins. And there are plenty of top ranked Registry sets with no descriptions or photographs. My Registry set has professional grade photos and in depth coin descriptions and comments about the coins and my journey to assemble my collection. It has thousands of views by other collectors and I have received unsolicited messages from some collectors congratulating for assembling such a fine collection. What do you do? Set up an exhibit about some numismatic topic that people either walk right past or spend a few seconds viewing before they move on in order to prevent themselves from falling asleep on their feet? Then you and your ANA nerd buddies get together and decide whose exhibit was the least like an Ambien. You call exhibiting the KEY PART of coin conventions, but rarely do people ever come back from coin shows and post about the exhibits that they saw. However, they consistently post their NEWPS and notable rarities they saw at the show. Furthermore, if the ANA vanished from the face of the Earth tomorrow, it would have absolutely no effect on my enjoyment of the hobby. So you can imagine how very little I care about anything they have done for over a century. So you keep up the good work helping people fall asleep and I will continue to assemble coin collections worthy of the attention of other collectors.[/QUOTE]
