My Saving Grace Finally Becomes Collecting Habit and the Real World Meets the Collecting World

How to play the registry game on a different continuum than just how much disposable income which you have to spend on what is after all, a hobby!

Brand X TPG has brought a new coin collecting game to town. This game is called Everyman Registry Sets. What this means to the uninitiated is that: somebody like me (an average guy) can have a Top 10 registry set and not be dragged, kicking and screaming to coin collector Debtors Prison the day after he dares go up against deep pockets of vested dealer/collector and enters this registry drubbing! The reason for all of this is simple, Everyman Sets only can contain sets of coins which are graded up to and including AU58.

Now, I have see a few large EBAY dealers who think that they are crafty, devious and smarter than the rest of us, try and jack their prices up to as high as 20X sheet prices on AU58 coins. The beauty of this is the fact that these jacanapes can only do this with PCGS coins and not NGC. So, their little clever ploy is doomed to failure across the board! Too bad and solely so sad! I have now quit Ebay, or tried to. They made up a rule that I can not quit for 180 days after the last transaction! What dishonest little jokes Ebay plays. Try and call Ebay on the phone and get a straight answer on any issue, absolute nonsense and stupid, made-up rules.

Once the market settles back to some level of AU price sanity, I intend to avail myself of this opportunity and be free of the hard edged guilt and overwhelming time wasting of trying to play it straight with these guys in the high grade coin registry which is a losing proposition if I ever saw one at least for me, retired and on a fixed income. I had my day. Time for others to play!

Obscured sets, who cares? Even they are not proud enough to obscure AU sets and have it awe we mere mortals to silence!
