The Registry Is Just Exploding

I was looking back to six months ago (November) when I chose to become an addictof my own free will.
With the 1971T baseball set, I entered what little I had and I was #6 of the 6 sets listed. I believe that I was the 397th. set overall. At that time, there was a lot of 60 or 70 PSA 7's on ebay that the buyer could have entered and been in the #3 slot. Today, there are 22 sets, and that ebay lot wouldn't even get you in the top 10.
It was just a little over a week ago that we approached the 1000 mark. As of yesterday there were 1087 sets. An 8.7% gain in one week! Extrapolate those figures on an annual basis and the figure becomes mind-boggling. Before you guys jump all over me, I do realize that these kind of gains cannot be sustained, but there is certainly a healthy growth curve.
This is just fantastic! We'll have 2500+ sets listed by the end of the year.

Btw In a few days I will have pics added. And some more cards added.To my set use my link if intrested PSA has the set down for updating reasons.
I added some cards today, so when it updates I will crawl out of the basement and make my long ascent. I am really psyched however to have so many set builders joining the fray. Hail to the set builder; long live the set builder!

Oh and by the way, thanks Frank for the boost.
However, I will be curious to see how many of the recent 70s sets are a product of the registry special as opposed to people committed to actually building the set.
Regardless of the minor blimp that this may create, there is no doubt that set building in PSA is here to stay. The more set builders, the more cards PSA will slab, and so on, and so on.
Its a good thing.
