There definitely feels like there is a move to collectors being more singles collectors and doing so without a common theme like singles of a certain player. Might be different in vintage but even then set collecting seems to have quieted especially for the last 3 years when affordable grading was abolished at PSA.

Maybe, but what is driving huge prices for example a Phil Niekro 1969 tops PSA 9 if not the registry?

I got charged $50/each for two oversize.
1) R312 Pastel.... kind of looks odd with such fat black borders, wish they could custom size that a bit better.
2) R311 Leather Finish....it looks nice in the oversize holder.

Still can't post pics due to Tapatalk.

A lot of people now collect HOF cards. I doubt you would see the same trend for a 1969 Chico Ruiz or a low pop common.

I'm not so sure, I watch AH prices a lot, probably to a borderline unhealthy amount and see high grade post war commons go fit incredible amounts and can only attribute that to the PSA registry.

Been saying this for years my friend, PSA's power is registry and pop. MONEY MAKING MACHINE...the boat has left the pier for any grading company to take over that market share.
