Agreed. Which is not to say there is no validity to your analogy. There is. I just don't think it is completely analogous.

This is a chronograph made by a meticulous one man shop in China. Whatever you think of the style, in hand it is just as nice or nicer in terms of quality than similar watches by the medium tier Swiss brands such as Tag, Baume and Mercier, etc. The movement is probably better than the generic ETA ones they use. It cost all of $400; change the name to one of those Swiss companies and it sells for multiples of that.

is it really "mind numbing" that psa's registry can impact the selling prices of high-grade cards?
this has been a reality in the hobby for years. |

IMO it's not just the registry. On commons that is certainly most of the explanation, but on stars and HOFers, I think many people just perceive the company as better.
