JimBThe registry is not only about competition. I put my E93 set up there several years ago with the hope of connecting with other E93 collectors and that is exactly what happened. Before I even knew about this board, I met other caramel collectors through my set and e-mail being on the registry. Being that I was trying to put together a high-grade set, it also enabled me to learn about more cards too. Often if people want to sell a high-grade card, they will look to see who is collecting that set on the registry and offer them the card. I was offered several nice E93s as a result of being visible in that way. The presumptions about competition, while sometimes accurate, are a bit knee-jerk in my opinion since that is certainly not always the case. There are many more low and mid-grade sets on the registry than there are high-grade. It is just that you all take note of the high-grade sets.
