PSA Likely to be Sold - Then Out of Business? Part 3

[Touch'EmAll]

PSA needs to survive on modern only cards - for example, how many more ungraded raw T206 HOFers are sitting out there - really folks ? not many.

And sorry to say, but the PSA set registry is the single most important thing driving prices above and beyond the other reputable graders.

If PSA goes down, what are the speculations on the Set Registry thing?

Other than that, PSA prices will always be near the top of the pricing world. So what if PSA goes down, SGC will scoop up the business - is that bad?

Since you bring it up, I don't see any reason why anyone else couldn't start their own Set Registry website and use PSA and SGC grades as their criteria. Heck you can include GAI and BVG if you'd like. But exclude CSA, PRO, etc.

As long as you don't advertise which grading companies you use, it should be legal. Similar to Fantasy leagues using MLB statistics. If your site is more user-friendly and doesn't require membership, you should get more hits that the others combined. Plus if a company goes out of business, the Registry will continue.

I would honestly say with the exception of maybe the big 4, There are still way more raw ones out there then graded.
