in PSA Set Registry Forum
In a few weeks, the PSA Set Registry will record its 10,000th set. In just three short years, the Registry phenomenon has swept the world of card collecting and has forever changed the way collections are built, bringing focus and comradeship to the hobby. As a way of saying thanks, the day we register the 10,000th set, we will have a drawing of all current members. The winner of this drawing will receive 50 free grades at the regular service level. It is our way of saying thanks to all our members for your participation in the PSA Set Registry program.

    Great News!

    BJ - Do you have information handy when the first set was registered, and when other milestones were hit like 1000, 2000, 5000 etc.? It would be interesting to see how rapidly the registry is expanding.

    Most excellent !

    By the way, not to be outdone, GAI has just announced that they will have a drawing
    to win 100 free gradings once their registry reaches 10,000 sets.

    hojo,

    I don't have specific dates for when milestones were hit, but I do have the following information:

    We launched with 56 sets in June, 2001.
    There were 416 sets registered 12/31/01.
    There were 3,958 sets registered 12/31/02.
    There were 8,162 sets registered 12/31/03.

    Also, we are continually deleting inactive sets, i.e. sets that are under 10% complete that have not been updated in over 12 months. This keeps the total number of active sets very clean.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    That's more like it. I was pretty turned off by PSA's "You be the grader" game for the National where there was a large entry fee. But this is much better. It's free, and I don't have to do anything. This is a contest I can handle.

    Seriously, awesome gesture, thanks.
    WANTED:
    2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25

    The winner will either be some guy who registered his only graded card in the Barry Bonds Master set last August or Marshall Fogel! image

    Isn't that the way it always works?
