T206CollectorI like the idea of set registries a lot. I also like the idea of being as high on a set registry as possible. It is a way of being competitive with your collection. If you are not into that, you certainly do not have to participate in it. But for those of us who are competitive by nature, it gives us a little something extra when we are purchasing a card for the registry. And, actually, it provides non-collectors with whom we share our collections a way of saying, "look, I have the Nth most complete set of X cards graded by [SGC/PSA/GAI], according to this registry."
Wholly apart from the competitive aspects, I also like the registry as a way to organize, view and share my collection on-line.
