Jeff LichtmanMarc, I agree with you. At one point I mostly collected high grade Registry sets and while the anal-retentive/obsessive-compulsive side of me enjoyed plugging in those holes with 8s I really hated having to spend big dollars on cards I knew I'd never look at. When I think of the common 8s I sold in order to buy a 1914 CJ Jackson, E102 Cobb, HM Taylor Cobb postcard, 1921 Herpolsheimer Cobb, etc. etc., I shudder to think that I could ever have valued the Registry commons.
For my few remaining high grade Registry sets I just have no interest in resubmitting them. If I sell them one day I might send in a few of the higher dollar cards because it would make sense. I hate the thought of being a victim of the Registry, i.e. addicted to it. I'm much happier spending big loot on rare Cobb cards.
