Some folks may want to look at this thread as a way to embarrass Joe. Anyone who knows me, knows at least one thing, and that is that I don't, and won't, kiss anybody's arse.
But, I for one, appreciate Joe's 'shoot from the hip' and 'let the chips fall where they may' attitude. Would we rather have some casper milktoast namby-pamby running this outfit ?
I only have 94 PSA cards, but they are all 9's and 10's with an average SMR value over $200.
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
Most of these were acquired just two weeks ago when I bought out a vintage collection that I plan mostly to sell for fun and profit. Usually I own a lot less.
I would conservatively estimate 800 PSA cards from my collection.
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
let us try and remember how many liars and cheats we have among us. not one of these collections can be verified. in fact, most of the member's identity can not even be confirmed. this total is a farce!

Maybe in some cases you are correct. But a lot of us know each other. There are people on this board that have seem my cards and I have seen theirs as well.
To your point...the total maybe a farce but we made our point. We are easily over 1% because there are many who have not seen this thread yet. That said, I think Joe's point is made as well. Even if we are 2 or 3% of PSA business....aren't we still a small part?
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
Can't our collections be seen on the Registry???Isn't that the point of the Registry?

I'm here to question, not to inspire or build up. To live how I want, as I see fit, according to my values and my needs. Nothing holds dominion over me, I stand alone as the ruler of my life.
which one percenters are liars? certainly not the Donkey Punchers.
which ones are cheats? certainly not my Hungry Horses.
sure, we may have some pessimistic lurkers, but it did take 125 posts for one to save up enough urine to pee on this little parade.
If you really don't own any or many psa cards, it's OK to post that to the tally. ...............................I promise you won't get banned. I believe Buckwheat was actually serious (maybe a little toungue in check) in attempting to make a point.
besides, I find it interesting, even if we need to round down the final figures.
MY QUESTION is what % of the vintage cards graded can be accounted for by these board members.After all this is the vintage cards area, im sure its much higher.I decline to say how many vintage slabs i have but i will say i can come up with over 50k cards just by a quick head count by adding some big collecters slash sellers that sometimes post on these boards that have not been heard from
Don't count them in the list, but Zardoz has thousands of Jose Conseco's.
Guys, realize that we are counting mostly vintage cards. The large majority of the 6 to 7 million PSA has graded are modern cards. But the $$$ are in the vintage cards, both in buying and grading fees.
I have about 3600 cards in PSA holders ,600 in SGC holders,125 Global and piles more raw. I have 500+ cards listed on the PSA registry and maybe 30 of the finest known examples of graded cards! Been collecting for over 35 years.
live each day like it's your last but don't count on it!
We should all give ourselves a hand. They said forum members make up merely 1% of the PSA cards out there.
If everyone was honest about what they have, it looks like PSA fourm members have almost 2 1/2 percent of the cards that PSA has graded to date. That is well well over one percent. We really showed them.
Marshall Fogel counts as a poster. Here are some other names who haen't posted yet to this thread and who havent been mentioned before: Mike Castaldi, Ron Hobbs, Chris Renaud, Steve Pekovich. Lawrence Block. I'm sure there are a lot more board veterans who haven't posted yet, but my brain is taking the day off while my stomach processes yesterday's gluttony.
Lawrence Block is a collector? As in "The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams" Lawrence Block? In the last few years he has moved into the #1 spot on my list of favorite authors.
By my count from the last total, we are up to 157,435. And many big holders on these boards have not fessed up.
And of course if we include former posters like Sol and Zardoz and Greg, in addition to the regular posters already mentioned, we would be much higher.
I wonder how many PSAtan has?? Perhaps we should count Dom Furfaro, who though no longer with us, has his sets still registered on the Set Registry. And where are you Hubcap? I know you have quite a few. The Duke of Mint, with thousands of cards, has been know to post here occasionally. And I am sure there are plenty of others that I am forgetting about.
The point is, those of us on this board are pretty much hardcore addicts, and are a valuable resource for PSA. This is part of the reason that they even have these boards. I hope that Joe doesn't really consider us as unimportant as he made it sound. I think from his recent post on the half point grading scale thread that he was saying that we are important.

FWIW, you can also subtract 23 from PSA's 6,000,000 as I have 23 flips that I need to send in.

We're now up to 110,202 PSA graded cards currently owned by regular posters on these forums. I'll update again tomorrow morning.

No. We would rather have someone a little more distanced from corporate-speak.

Yes, but a nice portion of the total here is not on the registry. That doesn't mean we don't own the cards.

However by my nickname here I was delighted to see I am "Greasy GoSoxBoSox of the Hell's Beerguts MC".
Hahaha .....not bad.
What percentage of all PSA graded cards are listed on the registry??
Jeb? doing anything between now and gametime??
My Auctions
welp, that's about 2.5%.
so maybe we're not one percenters after all.
I'm keeping the outlaw biker nickname anyways.
<< <i>so we're stalled out at 142,873 ? >>
And that doesn't include posters like King Kellogg, Dude, Frank Smith, and Marshall Fogel (if you want to stretch it).
Honestly, I'm surprised it's not more. I thought many of the members had more than they actually had.
Currently collecting.....your guess is as good as mine.
Guys, realize that we are counting mostly vintage cards. The large majority of the 6 to 7 million PSA has graded are modern cards. But the $$$ are in the vintage cards, both in buying and grading fees.
