And the registry set guys with the biggest ---- get bragging rights too. What a comical farce this is. Sorry, if I offend any 54 members but to most of those who do not participate in this marketing ploy of PSA, well we just usually laugh and feel the same way that Zipper does.
I collect for the (diminished) joy of owning something that might be interesting or historical. Not to have my name on a website that says mine is the best and all the rest of you cannot measure up to me. Most of us quit that type of thing years ago.
I truly hope this registry crap does not get started with autographs.
