Thank you BJ Searls for all that you have done.

In looking at the new issue of Rare Coin Market Report, BJ has a story about her wonderful ride in numismatics, saying her years with Collector's Universe are coming to an end.

So I would just like to send a great big Thank You for all that you have done. Every time I have had a question or concern, she has been quick to respond.

The registry would not be as big of success had she not put so much into it.

I wish you the best of luck in wherever your life now takes you.

    Thanks for the post - BJ has been great over the years. She organized a pattern display that Boiler78 and I participated in to kick off the pattern registry and more recently the PCGS Sample display for PCGS's 30th anniversary.

    She has always been professional and on the ball!

    BJ was always very fair. She introduced some controversial changes. One or two I didn't like. But she always took the time to explain her reasoning and listen to concerns.

    She has been a great asset to PCGS and will be hard to replace.

    BJ is awesome. She has always been very responsive to set composite requests for the registry. In particular, over the years she helped me out by creating several set composites in my areas of interest: first branch-mint US gold sets (for my SF-mint collections) and more recently the World Coins Manufactured by US Mints set. Always professional and friendly... BJ, good luck in your future endeavors! You'll be missed.

    Just saw this news yesterday in the Nov/Dev RCMR. I appreciate so much everything BJ did to make the PCGS Set Registry fun. She has a terrific numismatic history. When David left one of my first thoughts was a hope that BJ and Cosetta would not also exit. I know, however, we all have to do what we have to do. It's sad news, to me, but I definitely wish BJ the best and send my deep sincere thanks for her many contributions.

    Would love to see this, any link or just go to the registry.

    It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

    She was always very responsive, sad to hear she is leaving.

    I wasn't aware of this. When is her last day? I just sent her an email to day asking for a favor.

    She will be sorely missed and very hard to replace. Really hate to hear this.
