I registered my set through Heritage.....

I have a modest PCGS cert wheat collection......about 100 different coins total. I had been thinking of registering my set with PCGS....
I first went to the Heritage site and listed all my coins in the 'my collection' area. I did this to keep track of them. I also put in all the cert numbers as required. After I was done I saw the logo that said if I wanted to have the set registered with PCGS....'click here'. So I did that. I clicked and I was taken to the PCGS site. I filled out the required fields and a few minutes later my set popped up......#57 on the Licoln Cent basic set.....circulation strikes....1909-1958.....Magnificents! was the name I chose.
However, along with my listing my e-mail address appeared as 'Shop@Heritage.com' or something silly like that. I tried everything to make that address disappear and nothing worked. I called PCGS and they said to call Heritage. I called Heritage and though they saw the problem, they said that they couldn't change it. I called back PCGS and after a short, friendly conversation, they said that when a customer uses a 'third party' like Heritage to register their set, some glitches like the Heritage e-mail address appearing next to my listing sometimes occur. PCGS said the only way to fix the problem was to 'de-list' my set from their site and to 're-list' it directly through PCGS.
However, though I will get around to it soon, maybe today, they said that it would be necessary to re-enter all the cert numbers for all 100 or so coins.
That my friends, is a pain in the butt. I've copied my info from the Heritage site but I haven't relisted my set yet. I'm still hoping for an easier way to re-enter all the cert numbers......
Any suggestions?
Thank you.....but one more thing. I bagged a PCGS 24-D in 64 RED at the Nashua show Sunday. It's only fair for the grade but the dealer took some other pieces in a swap and some cash. So when I re-list I'll be #54!!!!!!
And the climb continues....

I'm chasing you now. I just got back from a long vacation in New Zealand and after I right myself financially again I'll be buying some more pennies....
Look out.....here I come!
Take care...

The dealer wanted $1,200 for the 24D in PCGS 64 RED. I asked him if he was interested in a trade....he said sure. I pulled out two inexpensive cert $10 gold pieces that I bought through Teletrade a few months back. My total investment was $700 for them. I also pulled out a 1877 PCGS VG 08 Indian head that I bought a year ago for $700. My total investment therefore was $1,400. He said he'd trade his coin for my three and he'd throw in $150. I asked for $250 and his coin.....he countered with $200.....I held firm at $250 (only because my girlfriend was standing right there and I wanted to look tough!)...and he accepted the final offer. So I got the 24D for a net of $1,150.
It isn't a great one but I'll never own a "5".....and I was able to deal which made it painless....
