T206Collector...that it would be "naive to believe that a significant percentage of sets or near sets are registered" and also that "owning the #1 PSA graded set is like saying your the best chess player on your block."
But competitiveness is all about being the best "on your block." Of those that choose to compete, you are the best. It's like the Olympics or any other sport -- you are only judged the best relative to those that try to compete with you.
And being on the SGC Set Registry, I do not consider myself in competition with the PSA boys who, if my experiences are equally applicable to theirs, would have a success rate of only about 75%-85% in having their cards crossed over to SGC.
