Although that's a big help to have them in a PSA registry, it's not the only factor for me, especially if 20% of the cards in this set have earlier exhibit issues. For the first 50, there were only about 4-5 that had clear exhibit issues that were much earlier, if I remember correctly.
I'm also (perhaps blindly) optimistic that we can get PSA to reconsider about the boxing exhibits with a better pitch and more concrete information. They've actually been flexible and willing to work on a lot of this early boxing stuff despite the fact that it can't be making them any money when you consider the time involved. A professional presentation of all of the exhibit items as a concrete package to be graded that includes a true, researched catalog - as opposed to a random email just saying 'hey PSA, grade boxing exhibits! - would be taken seriously, even if the concept has been rejected before.
