JimBAre the "set registry people" the handful of big names in the hobby with collections worth many millions or the majority of people on the registry with much more humble collections?
I think there is a tendancy to draw large conclusions about broad and diverse groups of collectors. More often than not the broad strokes and generalizations do not tend to be accurate when applied to individuals.
I have a high-grade E93 set on the registry which I mostly put together before the caramel craze of the past few years. I don't consider myself a "set registry person" but many here may think of me that way by virtue of putting one set on the registry. I did it mostly because it has been a great way to hear from other caramel collectors and to get wind of available cards that would fill holes in my set. The vast majority of my collection is not high grade like that set.
