If it isn't on that list go check and it might be active. If you already have and it is not there I would suggest sending them an email. I have always had great dealings with the ladies who work in the set registry area.

I am just one man, but this is just like the PSA Registery.
It is a ego thing. If you have the money, go for it, but most, I would guess 70 percent of collectors or so, do not. We collect what we can. But I see it the same way. Not knocking them, but, though the money is there, the numbers are not. Just my low level thoughts.

As a low-grade collector, I see the prestige appeal of joining PSA's registry, even if I live at the far left end of its spectrum. Might have a registry
I have one hoped-for-benefit of graded registries and one concern. My own collecting's esoteric, so the benefit's related to personal research about a specific set or range of cards. Researching, say, a group of variations and having them listed by a grading company provides a stamp of authority in the hobby. The flip side (the concern) is anyone buying and holding cards not yet recognized, as I'm sure some do, have strong incentives not to help bring them to light, so research doesn't move ahead as fast as it could -- at least until they're ready to sell. :-)

Well, I happened to win a card from the achievement medals today, just for posting about it on Facebook. So that's kind of cool. https://www.facebook.com/swarmee/pos...t=feed_comment

Thanks; was pretty stoked about it. I think when I go through and scan all my cards from the sets I created at PSA (T121, T51 Master, T56), I might win an annual award for Registry Album of the year - probably the T51 because of the sports theme and the grades; I bought a great set from Kit Young that scored mostly 5s, 6s, with a couple of 7s and 8s thrown in.
Or if I ever finish T121 in EX or better, that would be a pretty remarkable set for its historical value (1914-15 Sweet Caporal World War I Scenes) that could compete in Nonsports category.

IIRC David is a major registry guy and I respect his opinions greatly on the subject.
On just a protection level, I think showing pictures of cards in sets are a protection in case something bad (robbery, natural disaster, etc.) occurs. That way there is proof of what you owned and can verify what cards are worth. But as David said, it's an individual preference to scanning and showing cards in any of your registry sets. Rich
