Anyone know how they calculate the Current Finest Possible Set Rating? Why wouldnt all sets just have a possible set rating of 1.0?

    not all cards have PSA 10's.
    5 card set equal weight.
    #1 psa 9
    #2 psa 10
    #3 psa 10
    #4 psa 9
    #5 psa 10

    above represents highest grade given for the #

    highest possible ( current finest possible set rating) (9+10+10+9+10=48 48/5=9.6
    9.6 highest possible set rating

    so are you saying that the possible rating of a set changes if a card in a set receives a grade higher than it ever had in the past. so if the psa 10 was given for the first time for a card, the possible rating goes up?

    Yep, it all depends on what the highest grade ever given per card in the set. One of the reasone 1 of 1 10's are so coveted even in modern sets, as they make everyone else's ratings dip as soon as they hit.
    Currently completing the following registry sets: Cardinal HOF's, 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1980 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, Bill Mazeroski Master & Basic Sets, Roberto Clemente Master & Basic Sets, Willie Stargell Master & Basic Sets and Terry Bradshaw Basic Set

    but i thought 1 of 1 are not part of master sets. i thought you cannot list cards that have less than 5 in existance.

    He is referring to cards that, despite being produced in quantity, have only one example ever graded at the PSA 10 GEM MINT level.
    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.

    Only eBay sellers consider a pop 1 PSA 10 of say 1982 Topps a 1 of 1. To everyone else it is a 1 in 10,000,000 or so.
    Collecting PSA graded Steve Young, Marcus Allen, Bret Saberhagen and 1980s Topps Cards.
    Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.

    if there 10 million of a card in mint condition what is the incentive to get it graded unless you need in your psa registry.

    Well there won't be 10 million PSA 10's. Many people call a card mint and PSA would give it a 7. The reasons you would want a card in PSA 10 is:

    that generally it will resale for more than grading fees making it a profitable card

    people want it for their PSA sets

    some people just like owning PSA 10's of anything

    it's easier to get $5 for a common 1982 common PSA 10 than 5 cents ungraded on ebay
