    I highly suspect that this is going to *eventually* replace the NGC registry and I'm not going to be surprised if 2020 proves to be the last year of the NGC Registry Awards with the ANA Registry Awards taking over in 2021.

    NGC is footing the bill for this new registry and those new registry awards / categories are copied verbatim from the NGC Registry awards - even the bit about "over $20,000 in prizes." NGC is not going to continue developing and upgrading our 2 year old, half-complete "new" registry while they're also rolling out a new "cutting edge" registry for the ANA.

    Yeah, the NGC registry is going to stay at NGCcoin.com - for a while / for now. Just like the fact that we still have the old collector's society page for the "old" registry while we have the half-complete "new" registry. But they're going to port / replicate all the NGC registry sets over there, and it makes no sense to maintain both of those systems, with all of that redundancy, long term once the ANA registry is up and running. It makes no sense to bother finishing this "new" registry when you're also going to have that one and everything here is going to be moved over there.

    After the article came up about NGC suing that company for cheating them out of 5 Million I speculated that we might see a "NEW new Registry" because NGC might not be able to finish rolling out a registry based on that company's incomplete work - if that company really was working on the registry. This makes me think maybe I was right. 

    I'd love to be wrong, because I don't want to see this place go and I don't want to see this place lose its identity to become part of the ANA, but I seriously think I'm going to be right.

    Thank you for your concerns, but there are absolutely no plans to eventually phase out the NGC Registry. We’ve made a lot of investments in the NGC Registry over the last year and with this announcement we will be devoting even more resources towards making the NGC Registry and the ANA Registry the best possible platforms for collectors. It’s not difficult for us to support a shared database – we already host the NGC Registry on NGCcoin.com, NGCcoin.cn, NGCcoin.hk and NGCcoin.hk, all using a shared database. Whether you choose to use the NGC Registry or the ANA Registry or both, you can expect to see lots of new and improved features in the near future. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months as we continue to develop the NGC Registry and ANA Registry.
