Generally on the newer cards, it takes a card being a PSA10 grade to make that kind of difference. However, on the older cards that's not unusual at all. There's just a much bigger collector group for graded cards than the ungraded cards. So many people are trying to put together sets that will garner a higher number on the registry and they are willing to pay the price for higher graded cards to boost their set's registry number.

New guy here - can someone please explain to me what "So many people are trying to put together sets that will garner a higher number on the registry and they are willing to pay the price for higher graded cards to boost their set's registry number." means? In particular what does "garner a higher number on the registry" mean?
Thanks
