Having pics of my cards in my sets is how I enjoy looking at them.

To me having an online set with no pics is like buying a playboy mag that has nothing but words........it's just plain boring.


*Not that I buy playboy mags but even if I did, it would just be for the articles.

For a registry? I would, why not? Many would enjoy viewing it. Buuuut maybe for high dollar ones- watermark them to prevent people from acting like they own your cards and try to sell the scan on ebay.

I just started a couple set registries, and I decided to post my pics. I like being able to pull up my collection from any computer to look at it. My opinion.

donrus

i sure wish i started doing it before i got over 200 cards..lol
i think im going to spend a few days doing it..do people really look at them, other than us the collector? don

Having pics makes your Registry Set look nicer and more interesting ....

and many times a pic serves as a reference for someone that has never viewed a particular card.

I had no idea what a 1964 Topps Photo Tattoos Red Triangle Mickey Mantle looked like until
I viewed one on the registry.

All of mine have pics and many have comments.

I can't tell you how many times I've found someone else's picture to be immensely useful to me in my search for oddball cards. I try to return the favor whenever I can by scanning my cards too.

+1 for pics. I enjoy showing off what I have, and really like viewing the beautiful sets that others have compiled.

I have 99% of cards scanned in there. It's just nice. You can show off what you have instead of just claiming it.

the best registry is the one SGC has.. the looks a GREAT.. you scroll through you pictures kinda like the iPod cover flow.

I always put pics up. I like showing off my collection.

I always put pics up of graded and ungraded cards for my master sets. On another note, what is the trick to putting scans on you registry? I tried but I get nothing. Do they have to be a certain size?

I think there is a 100KB limit. Also they can not have anything like a "#" or a "*" in them.

i put em of mine, but i dont have no sets right now lol
my 50 bowman fb is retired though so whoever bought it would be drove nuts with 144 cert #'s that wont work like some people do ya when ya get a card,thats annoying

donrus

wow,i am blessed with a rube sighting. im not worthy..im not worthy..lol don

All of mine are scanned. Not only does it look better online, it also makes it easier to sell the card on ebay once I upgrade it.

SoonerCowboy

Thanks MeteoriteGuy. Any recommendations on a resolution to scan them in at?

I would be happy if I could just add cards that I own to my sets. I have slabs that need to be deleted from other peoples sets. After sending 4 requests to PSA with scans of the fronts and backs, I gave up. So now I dont really participate in the registry. I used to use the registry as an inventory checklist for my collection, but seeing that I cant add all of my cards to it, I really dont have a use for it anymore.

smtjoy

I have nearly everycard I have scaned in registry sets, I enjoy them a lot this way.

Nascar360

I always like to view the cards and read the 'About this set' comments so I make sure I provide them.
Compare these two sets.

I'm a big fan of pics with the sets so I do it myself

rube26105

i just starting working on my 52 topps basic with autos, alot has changed since last year -took me 45 minutes to figure out how to make a set- put the #s in ,and pics lol-i like it though-just take me some getting used to again- id make a link to my set- but its so far down right now, i dont even think you can see it 52 basic goes 1-92 people- so im under that till i get about 100 of these autos slabbed with grade anyways

i think pics with sets are great- if u dont have pics, all i see is noning and #'s,that not real impressive,when i was doing the 50 bowman fb set- i had all pics up- #1 dude dedont even have a pic, just #'s- i cant look at #'s and say im impressesed much,even if its been the #1 set forever

donrus

wow, for some reason i have not been able to post for a few days.( keeps saying something failed to open)
anyway i have tried to upload my scans,and they will not show up..even loaded them up and had them hosted.. still no workie.. don
