barrysloateJay- I think it's just an example of different hobby philosophies. The oldtimers collect for fun, and a little profit along the way never hurts. The set registry people are in it purely for the competition, and while they all say they are having fun, they have a lot more fun being #1 than #2, and even less fun being #3 or #4.
It's really the oldtime way to collect vs. the 21st century way to collect! Or if you prefer, the haves vs. the have-nots (or the have-some)
