Missed the camaraderie.

 

As many of you know I collect only PCGS coins for a variety of reasons that are immaterial to this post. I want to assure you that I don't compete for any awards on the NGC Registry as I don't think that would be legit. One of the reasons I enjoy being a member of the registry is to see how my collection 'stacks up' against some of the greatest collections on the planet. I am thankful that NGC opens up it's registry to PCGS collectors for the sole reason that members of the NGC site are social and post many very interesting articles regarding their successes and in some cases their failures. It is truly a 'collecting community' here with many collectors sharing their ideas and truly trying to be helpful. The collectors at PCGS are rather 'snobbish' in my opinion. I have contacted some of them to ask a question or two about their sets or to pay them a complement regarding their coins, without so much as an acknowledgement of my email. A very sterile environment to say the least.

 

I enjoy connecting with people that have the same passion (or is it addiction?) to their coin collections that I have. Whether it be Jackson, W.K.F., Six Mile Rick, or whoever, i enjoy swapping stories with everybody. I know I can 'come on' pretty strong at times, chalk it up to my 'passion' and the mistakes I have made accumulating my coins, my only agenda for my posts is to try to keep others from making the same mistakes I made in an effort to save you time and money in your pursuit.

 

I'm sharing an image of one of my favorite acquisitions that I purchased for not much more than some of those 'moderns' available out there. Best to all and Merry Christmas!

agreed. i haven't been on the NGC registry for very long at all. but i just sent a message to W.F.K. (who has been giving me a few pointers on my set) basically saying that the sense of community here is quite strong. and everyone that i've ever messaged here has been so willing to help.. man it's incredible.

Sense of community.............I guess that makes me the juvenile delinquent on the block.

 

Welcome baaaaaaaaackkkkk.

Hey Dan,

Welcome back!! It really is a good community here. I feel right at home even though I collect things that are a little more esoteric......there's such a variety of interests and collecting pursuits here. It's great!
