Sibling Rivalry

NGC has this great little addition to their portion of the site that seems to overlook us in all its glory. They have something that is known as a Collection Manager. This allows an NGC member to create their own set with the coins they already own. I love this idea. I wish they would bring it over to us so I can get rid of my one comic sets, not to mention we don't have to wait as long for a new set to be created. By the way that is not a slight against CGC, to my knowledge only one person creates the sets that we love and I'm thankful to that person. Hint hint, I need a new set.

This is what NGC says...

What are Custom Sets?

Many collectors choose to assemble their own sets in unique ways, as personal expressions of what they find fascinating about collecting. Custom Sets are ideal for this kind of collector. You can create Custom Sets through the NGC Collection Manager, and either share them or keep them private. You define the set's theme and choose which coins are eligible.

Doesn't that sound cool, but wouldn't it be even cooler with comic? When I first read about this happening I thought it would be only a matter of time before CGC could boast the same thing and now as time goes it seems like that thought didn't matter. I recently discussed PGX compared to CGC on Facebook and I explained to them the main reason I fell in love with CGC was because of the registry and the camaraderie of its members along with how cool it was to assemble these sets.

How do you feel? If PGX developed with a more socially interactive site, would that have made the difference between choosing one or the other. Either way, at the moment my choice is CGC, at least until they hire me.

Thanks for Reading
