Its like having an online checklist of what you have and what you need and both allow scans to be added.
So its pretty handy when you are on the road and want to view your collection.
I also like the uniformity of the slabs. And believe me I won't cash in my $50 PSA-8 for a $1000 PSA-9.
Not all registry participants think in those terms.

I agree Jay.
When I start down the road of collecting a set, I know my budget, I know what the cards in each grade are approximately worth and I set out to collect a grade that I can reasonably complete the set in, given my collecting budget. I would never blow my budget just to upgrade a single card from a 7 to an 8…just so I can say I have an 8, that’s not how I collect.
I like the benefits of tracking my set online, and I find the population reports to be a little helpful as well as I can see situations where I will settle for lower grade cards that are difficult to find, or are low in population as I know they sometimes tend to demand a premium.
