No, I don’t think so….. once PSA had it whatever SGC did would not have put them on par or have taken business away from PSA. Population report and registry are synopsis across all card collecting all sports all genres, etc. it’s what makes these cards sell for the money they do. The population report is now what’s causing vintage non-sport especially pre-war to go to new levels. I see it all the time on boards and auctions they all mention, low pop, etc. The reason a lot of those cards are low pop is because for years non-sport vintage collectors refused to grade. They never wanted their stuff graded now the money is there to be made and it’s happening.
