    Number 1 registery

    By Bill L,

    So what to do
    As a new collector and new to the hobby. I was proud to get my number one set.
    I was involved in the hobby, as were others by the new issue coins.
    Do I believe that tmy sets are more precious than the person that got me involved? To answer that question I would have to exzammine his collection.
    "Gerald", has been involved in the hobby many more years and more knowledgable in the hobby than I am.He has not a single set ranked and not likeley to have, although he is more knowledgable and is more,"invested", in the hobby.
    I am not ashamed in my collection,but I believe there are two types of collectors.
    I am a stickler for graded coins, as I know my limitations."Gerald",prefers his knowledge and experiance.
    Lets quit quibbling and realize that what makes us what we are as lovers of the hobby....Bill

    Why Obscured

    By Bill L,

    Joy of learning
    I may be wrong but I have felt the joy in building registry sets was to promote a little competition, and share our collections with others. I don't really care what the value of your collection is and these values are obscured from others anyway. What concerns me is that by obscuring a collection from view others, especially the new collector, you exhibit a lack of friendliness to the hobby.
