soccerman034

Sorry if this sounds dumb, but i am just wondering what PSA registrys are used for. What do they do? How are they used? Do they cost anthing? Any help would be great!

Thanks,

Remember - there are no stupid questions, just idiots who answer them.

The registry is free - think of it like a checklist for a group of cards you want to collect. You can pick an existing group, examples of which are 56 Topps, or Nolan Ryan set. You can even start your own registry if one doesn't esist that you want. It's all free - as soon as you buy a PSA card that will fill a hole in your registry, you plug in the Certfication number from the top of the flip (the paper above the card in the holder, also called a slab), and it's like magic. You get the percentage complete, your set's average GPR, weighted GPR, and other stats. That's about it in a nutshell, and these boards are the best place to get any info you need.


Most important thing - please don't try to sell any of us a Red Man Willie Mays card, or tell us about the new grading company you've started. Other than that, welcome.

MUDFLAP - Stated it well.
You can also add scans of your cards to the registry. So at work you can view your cards that are sitting at home or locked in a safe deposit box. The registry is also good for insurance, as you have a concise record of cards that you own. The registry is also good if you have competitive juices and want to upgrade your cards to gain a higher grade % and move up the ladder to a higher placement.
Welcome to the boards...jay

Ever wonder what makes people stupid? Or why stupid people are stupid? All I have are stupid answers to these questions anyway, so they don't count........
