Will we ever see the IBM Registry Set, or the Microsoft Registry Set?

    one of the first registry sets was the NFL SET
    my goal is to find the monsters and i go where they are but i sometimes miss some.... so if you have any and want to sell IM THE BUYER FOR THEM!!!

    This is an interesting concept but it seems improbable to happen in the near future.

    While it would be a source of advertising for a big company and would raise their
    stature in many people's eyes, it simply wouldn't even be seen by the masses. It
    might also be the kiss of death for such collections when they fall to #2.

    I could see Pepsi building a set to launch a multi-million dollar ad campaign with a coin giveaway...

    ...and then their set falls to #2 image

    What percentage of the population do you all think cares at all about Registry Sets? To be a viable enterprise, the percentage would have to be much MUCH larger than it is right now.

    Why would it be an advantage for GE to sponsor a registry set? This would be an irreponsible waste of corporate dollars as far as stockholders go.

    I think it would be interesting to see what kind of Morgan Registry set that PCGS could assemble these days.

    There are a lot of states quarter collectors out there, but I still don't believe this is a viable idea.

    Companies rarely engage in this sort of thing. It might also alienate some people who would consider it unfair competition.

    This is a great idea, but the Ohio fund disaster might put a crimp in the plan. I mean, what a cool idea to get Microsoft (or some other company) to give one of us a couple million dollars to build a #1 Registry Set with their name on it, so that thousands of collectors could envy and admire the set, and talk endlessly about Microsoft. Good advertising, but expensive !!!! but then they could sell it at auction (with their name all over it), and recoup the money. I think it's a great idea !!!! Super !!! I'm surprised David Hall hasn't already thought of it and executed accordingly.

    Only one problem: the "Ohio Worker's Comp Board Registry Set" didn't work out too well. Can't trust them coin professionals, too much value locked up in those little slabs. Too much greed, too many games - conservation, crackout, arbitrage ... the worst of it that I heard was where the players were sending the fund's coins in for upgrade, then if it worked, buying them back out of the fund at a small profit (without disclosing to the fund that the upgrade had occurred) and walking away with the upgraded coin. WOW, what a scam. What fraud. What greed. I smell jail time !!!

    Yeah, I know they didn't have an Ohio Registry Set, but presumably you understand my point !!
