PCGS Collectors Club Question

TigersFan2

I have a PCGS Collectors Club Question. I'll ask it here as it's probably trivial and I don't want to bother PCGS staff with it.

I enjoy participating in the PCGS Registry Sets as it helps me organize my collection and view it in different perspectives. My PCGS membership expires in October. If I don't renew my PCGS membership, can I continue to participate in the PCGS Registry Sets?

When I look at the PCGS page telling about the Collectors Club, it doesn't address participation in the PCGS Registry Sets anywhere. So by omission, I'm inclined to assume that the participation isn't contingent on a Collecors Club membership. But assumptions often can be wrong.

Thanks if anyone knows the answer.

Set registry is free and anyone can register

Thank you. I expect this means I won't be renewing my Collectors Club membership in October. The submission benefit was the only benefit I was using and I know other people who can submit for me.

@TigersFan2 I kind of dropped out of the collectors club, but I used to be submitting old and new us-mint coins. That was certainly an education in humility. But I now have a backlog of inventory, some of which might be worth grading.

How do you submit them through other people? Do you mean Dealers? Seems like PCGS favors dealers with volume submissions. I wish I knew one in the San Francisco Oakland area.

Any suggestions from the collectors?

Thanks

As stated above participation in the PCGS Registry is free and open to anyone.

The lowest price $69.00 membership does provide access to the Members Only Shows, a subscription to the bi-monthly Rare Coin Market Review magazine, free admission to the Long Beach EXPO and submission benefits. So..... depending on where you live and the shows you might attend the $69.00 membership might be right for you even if you don't plan on submitting anything in the near future. Later if you decide to submit some coins I think you can upgrade your membership and get some free submission vouchers.

Thanks @tommy44. I have to get to the long Beach expo one of these years. Its a full days drive to get there, but it can be scenic if you take tje 101 - or hwy 1 down the coast.

Yes indeed the Registry is free and fun.
I go for platinum and I always use up the eight vouchers

I use the Registry as an easier way to keep track of my graded coins. Its nice that it looks up the values automatically. I've had the Platinum Club membership before and got a fairly good value.

And that Nike Polo Shirt is real nice too. I wear it to the monthly meetings of my local coin club. Since I already have one, each year as I renew, I then donate the new one in the plastic bag to my local coin club to auction off. They appreciate the extra $, and a local club member goes home with a handsome brand new shirt.

Ok, someone on this forum will now point out that I’m not nice enough to give them the shirt off my back, lol.

I just renewed last week and gave my shirt to my son yesterday for helping me grade a few things this past week to find any worth a second look for regrading. He finds the really small flaws, that I usually miss.

I still have to submit my 8 freebies for this year. As long as they get them prior to the expiration date (well, my renewal is in Feb), should be OK. I'd like to get some things in and back by Xmas. Gettin' tight on that.
I'll probably renew (Platinum) for next year too. I'll have ~8, maybe more (under $2500, I think thats the cutoff). Between the ASEs, 1/4 oz and 1/10th oz AGEs, Peace/Morgans, etc ... .
