Wow !! Makes you wonder how many more of these sets are out there , just waiting to get registered , as people discover the existance of the registry. It seems like the number of sets registered hung at the 2000 mark for awhile , but now is really taking off. Any thoughts as to how many top sets will be " taken down " with new additions ?

Many, if not all. There are dozens of quality sets in each category that may never be registered.

I noticed a third SBA 99-P MS68 in the pop. report last week but now it looks like it was down graded? The report now shows two only MS68 again plus another MS7. I would have to think there are a number of fine sets just lurking in the winds on a lot of these sets. Its almost easier to try and keep track of the top pop coins to get an idea where you stand.

One reason for lots of new Registry sets is the proliferation of new type sets. I used to have one 20'th Century set, now I have 4 (including gold type) but will probably delete one of the gold type sets.

Well, I have to admit I didn't think this #2 set would be put together. I have wondered where the other Pop 2 and 3 coins were but didn't think they were owned by one person. On the other hand I am glad to see them registered in an incredible set.
As for more high SBA$ sets being registered? Not unless more highest graded SBA$ coins are graded. With the exception of the 1999's no SBA$ has been graded MS68 in 5 years, and all the early MS68's are now in registered sets.
Does anyone know the owner of this set? I would be interested in the story of how and when the set was put together.
