Double counted cards in Set Registry

MarkLee

I know from experimentation that I can list one of my cards in two different registry sets. For example I have a 1978 Pete Rose listed in both a Pete Rose Basic Set and a 1978 Topps set. This got me to wondering though, can two different owners with separate PSA login IDs have the same card listed? For example if I sold the 78 Rose to somebody else, but neglected to delete it from my sets, would they be able to enter the cert number on their sets? If so, this would seem to be a huge flaw with the registry concept. I could simply go out to eBay, find the cert numbers for some great cards, and build a top set. Does anybody know how this is guarded against? (Sorry if this topic has already been covered)

they cannot.

One owner can reg a single card in any set that is applicable.

However if sold the new owner could not reg the card until it was deleted from your set(s).

i sold some 86f bkb and i received an email informing me that someone was trying to add a card to their set. i removed the cert from my set and the buyer was then able to add the card without any problems. i never heard from the buyer so i'm assuming all is well.

Along the same lines, is it possible to list the same card twice in the same registry set? Such as for a HOF Autograph set and a certified card autographed by both Carl Eller and Alan Page (I'm sure there are many more examples), could this card count towards both players?

Also, I guess there is nothing to stop somebody from registering cards which they do not really own if nobody else has entered them into the registry. You can easily troll for cert numbers on the internet and just try them.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of even taking part in the Registry?

Who would want a PSA certificate awarded for set they really don't have?

I believe I have read somewhere in the Registry info that only the owner of the card (must have in his/her possession) can register the card. In the event the card is registered by someone else, that person will receive an email from the registry people telling them if they don't own it, to remove it. I'm not sure what happens if the non-owner doesn't remove it.

If the owner doesn't remove it, which is extremely rare. You can send psa a scan of both sides of the card and they will remove it from the previous owners set for you.
