PSA makes the rules!
How do they arbitrarily define what a "catalog" is? In todays electronic world the trading card database is as much a "catalog" as any other although it does not list values - which shouldn't matter as PSA has their SMR! The inconsistency has been rampant in numerous ways. Yet, they continue to be the 800lb gorilla largely due to the registry and large barriers to entry. I too have tried to have a number of items added only to face the same frustration that has been shared in this thread.
As an aside, I like Beckett's grading model the best with the 4 subgrades and then the averaged final grade - it allows collectors to prioritize elements of condition subjectively important to them. |

This is not true. The final grades are not averaged, except at the very top. A Gem Mint otherwise card with a pinhole would not get a NM 7, it would get a 1-2 from Beckett. Their grade cannot be any more than 2 grades higher than the lowest subgrade, and then for only specific subgrades. Max grade is 1 higher for other subgrades.
