Yeah, that's a little salty for the fuel coupons but there's always this years registry awards. 

Your idea of entering a graded note cert # and using images of the coupons and descriptions is a good workaround in the signature sets. Not sure why you can't  enter a "wanted" note like you can across the isle with coins though. Sounds like those gas coupons are relatively inexpensive and picking up few more for an extensive "raw" collection sounds like a great idea to me, I'm doing something similar with some of my notes.

Yeah. We'll see. This year or another year, I just know, short of having a free $500 to use, I'd have a hard time sending these in at that price.

I'm still not crazy-optimistic about another Zimbabwe-related PMG win though. I think the challenge falls to the revamped Venezuela set this year.

The ones I have have been mostly $3.50-5.00 each for nice ones fresh from the book. So, not much. Some ask for $10+ but I just don't buy from them. 

I would love the "want" option because that would also let me directly incorporate my soon to be 14 coin collection and have everything in one place painlessly. It's a little sad that we've never gotten cross-platform options in the registry. That could lead to some truly epic sets and online presentations for them.

Yes, to all of this.

I hadn't thought it through that far but it would indeed be epic, I let my frustration get in the way.

Yeah. With the coupons and the coins, my Zimbabwe set would pretty much immediately expand to 150 slots with about 140 filled.

Short of getting the Caltex coupons, which people seem to want moon money for, it seems like I have a pretty solid representative set of them at this point.

But do you have all the varieties of cancellation stamps use? LOL, oh I have a sickness because that's what I'm doing with the Ukrainian Compensation Certificates but at $2-$5 a piece it's a cheap way to stay active with my collection as the number of notes I'm looking for starts to wane.

That's a hard game to play just because most of the people that are selling these things are selling bulk / have several and the image is just representative. There's no real telling what exactly you'll get.
