This should be added to MrEurekas questions.

How much has this Forum affected your sending coins in to PCGS to get graded?

Did you have a Registry set before joining the Forum?


I starting sending coins to PCGS after joining the forum and then started my Registry set. I had never used a TPG service until then.

    I did not have a registry set before joining the forum. I have started one since I joined the forum.

    I have basically started my registry sets the same time I started on the boards.

    I probably send in more coins as a result of this forum. The way I see it, this forum creates demand for PCGS coins, and my job is to feed the demand.

    No i didn't have a registry before, now i have 2. However since we're holding our coins for a long time we aren't crossing over coins for registry alone. However when/if we do sell the coins we'll go all PCGS, KoooooLaaidddddE! image

    My "sets" were pretty much complete when the registries came along.

    I had a preference for PCGS before the forum.

    None at all, and I still don't have a registry set. I have never sent in a coin for certification, nor will I in the future. I have de-certified a bunch of them, though.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Basically what I would have said.

    I came to these forums as a result of my Registry sets.

    I've since abandoned Registry collecting, but it was fun while it lasted.

    I just stayed on. image
