I know that some may dissagree, but I would like some opions...
I am not sure what difference it makes if you register a small number of cards (or even 1 card)within a set.
The resgistry is Free & Open to any and all who want to "register" their PSA cards.
You can bet that PSA doesn't care.
They want you to get excited about it so you will get all your cards graded by them
or even crack those BGS or SGC cards to resubmit!
I Love the concept and keep up with my PSA graded cards with it. Plus it is a great
"checklist" that helps me get excited about getting new cards.
but then again I am not a card snob,
I am just a little collector.

You do what you want, The registry is a tool for the collector. If you have one card in a set and intend to collect that set, then register the darn card!
Don't worry about the guys who extoll the virtues of waiting till they have 50% or whatever before registering the set. Let them do it their way and you do it yours..............
BOTTOM LINE: It's a great tool to keep track of your inventory.

So far, I've registered those sets that I'm either working on actively, or have a larger percentage than just a few stars. Those have been the 67, 68, 69, 70, 72, 72 OPC and 84 Donruss. I have most of the stars slabbed from 71, 73 and 74 but I haven't done much with them lately - so I haven't posted them yet. Maybe when the 72 slows down...
Sets - 1970, 1971 and 1972
Always looking for 1972 O-PEE-CHEE Baseball in PSA 9 or 10!

Here's a vote for "do what feels right for you". My main set is 69' Topps. I have a complete set about 61% PSA graded. I also have a run of pretty nice Topps sets from 77' thru 81'. As a sideline I have bellied up to the set registry bar by starting checklists of each of these sets picking up odds and ends as I go along. These sets currently contain anywhere from 3 or 4 cards or up to 3% of the set PSA graded. Like you have mentioned, it is a fun way to watch your efforts grow and stay organized in one place. I also took this plunge on the newer material to enjoy the comradery of the set registry group. Feels right to me!

This is a fantastic was to promote the resell value/demand and generate new clients /submissions.
I applaud PSA for this smart low-cost marketing move - now if they would only advertise in the Beckett Monthly's?

Now the registry has grown in both the number of sets listed and the number of participants. You're no longer putting your set up against only the Merkel and Fogel gem sets. There are plenty of <1% complete sets on the registry.
Good luck!
I knew I was not alone out there!!!!
