Registry Mistakes
 

Posted By: <b>Bobby Binder</b><p>It is errors like this that make me wonder the accuracy of the registry.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260263964033" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260263964033</a><br /><br />Given the number of errors I always see and the shear number of people cracking and resubmitting. I would say + or - but in this instance it is only MINUS. What do you take off 10%, 20% or higher? Seems to me this kind of data is useless because of to many errors and other circumstances.

Posted By: <b>chiprop</b><p>I have a card that is the only one kown to exist. The card has been submitted 3 times for grading, so it is 1 of 3 according to PSA. The registry should be used as a guide, but hardly accurate. They should be able scan cards and identify them for future reference. It would only help the collector, so don't count on that happening anytime soon. DK<br /><br />Edited to add that PSA is consistant in flip errors too. I have a Wagner throwing and it says batting. There was also a t206 Honus Wagner flip/slab a couple of years ago with Heinie inside the slab. That's a big error!
