[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3947263, member: 101855"]There was a lot more involved when NGC made that decision. I, for one, spent many hours building my registry with photographs and write-ups that were sometimes quite extensive. Putting up a good registry set, that is in the running for "Best presented," is not "free." It requires a lot of work. Finding properly graded, attractive coins from either service is not that easy when you are looking for classic coins with limited surviving populations. When you are limited to one company's product, it makes that search that much harder. NGC's decision left me hamstrung so far as taking my registry sets any further. To be honest I find more coins that I like in PCGS than NGC holders. A big part of the reason is that so many of the NGC's better coins get crossed to PCGS. I had never joined the PCGS registry until NGC made their NGC only decision. I did not like their PCGS only policy. I joined PCGS registry, mostly to display my Classic Head $2.50 set. Given their PCGS requirement, I could see early on that it was a waste of time for me to post my complete type of coins there. So I gave up on the registry stuff all together. Now that NGC has reversed their decision, I’ll spend some more time on it.[/QUOTE]
