We have seen type collecting, series collecting
toned coins, snow white coins, pop top collections
and of late So Called Dollars and medals. What comes
next?

Start putting thoese G4 coins in your pocket and wear them down!

This is actually a very funny thought.

Technically no need to collect anything:

Makes you wonder if the computer spit out one of those congratulatory certificates for this one.

They can get limitless quantities of them and invest in advertising and hype. It works in the scheme of modern marketing.
Big marketing drives won't work with rare coins in most cases because the qty needed to pay for the hype needs to be split among a big amount of sales.
- Silver American Eagle registry sets (already a fad)
- Buffalo silver and gold
- First spouse coins with classic liberty designs (but not the other first spouse coins)

It's funny you should say that.
I've seen every fad that has come and gone for more than
half a century and virtually every single one involves only
older coins. There have only been a couple that involved
any coins made after 1964 and they were very limited in
scope. While there have been many massive fads involving
classics.
Some people would just rather be foolish and in vogue with
old coins than new ones.

<< <i>The roll craze didn't involve classic coins, cladking.
>>
Sure it did. All those coins being saved were dated before 1965.
More importantly if you asked the people paying big premiums for
the rolls they'd tell you that 1959 was old and '50-D nickels were
ancient.
Like everything, age is a matter of perspective.
But....
If I called a dealer and asked for an appt to show him some classic coins and showed up with a roll of 1964 cents he might tell me off LOL
at today's current prices.
<< <i>Classic can be anything 1792 before 65.
But....

Sure. The disappointment could be Legendary.
But age is not only a matter of perspective it can be implied by context. Even
in 1965 if you called up a high end dealer to offer old coins you better not show
up with a roll of '50-D nickels.
<< <i>Low grade registry sets. There are enough people who can't afford to be in the top 10 of the elite side so I think they will try to be in the top 10 of the bottom side.

The low grade registry sets is, imho, pretty stupid and only for those wanting to throw money away.
My reasoning is this:
It is a competition so, sooner or later, folks will pay more for a coin to get them points in the registry than it is worth otherwise. So, down the road, unless they find someone who wants it for their registry set (the bigger fool theory), then a normal collector won't likely pay more than it is actually worth (less than what someone may have paid for the registry points).
So, if it is a fad, it will hopefully be a shortlived one. Nothing wrong with the concept but one can already see how it would end up.

a lovely old patina are a very admirable goal to collect?
a fad is defined as something, in my mind, that gains popularity then
dies off in a short time to the levels it was before the fad started.
just because it is a fad does not mean it is not cool as heck! :-)
the whole money thing that pcgs is trying to get going is irrelevant.
the people trying to make a buck off of it are no different in any other
area.
