Frank WakefieldGentlemen,
Thank you. I think I understand the registry thing much better. Even went to it and looked at it a bit.
It still seems like a blatant way of hyping slabbing to me...
But, I can see that if I had a set or near set graded and registered, then others who collected or had graded stuff could see where I was, and they might contact me offering to fill gaps I had, or offering upgrades. And that would be a pretty good deal. Now, for me, I find myself searching for the few cards I'm after... I'd love to have folks seeing my desires and contacting me with offers. So I truly see a real upside to the Registry process.
I cannot see myself ever using it. But I see why folks who liked slabbed cards, or only high grade slabbed cards, why those folks would like it.
And without me having asked you folks, and without you guys having patience to answer what seems obvious to you, I'd still not understand. So thank you. Notwithstanding my old biases, even I'm educable.
