Set Registry Should be for Card Collectors

Right - so a caution to another poster on a public internet bulletin boad to be careful about imparting knowledge to others is not a suggestion not to post??? I thought it was pretty clear...

Cheers,

One thing I always wondered about the registry stuff: when a card is sold or a set is sold, how do the registry people verify it? Do the auction houses that register a set change the registry for the buyer?

If the previous owner of a registered card or set does not remove them from there set registries, PSA will remove it. PSA gives the previous owner 3 days to remove the cards. If the cards are not removed after 3 days, the new owner must provide front and back scans of his cards and PSA will then remove them. This happened with one of my '63-'64 Parkies 2 weeks ago when the seller of my card failed to remove it from his registry.

I have to mostly agree with ya' Blair. In the last few days we have seen one of the reasons I am disappointed with the way the board goes. Folks use it for ONLY their personal vendetta vehicle instead of helping with knowledge. I guess most of us regular posters can keep being the good guys and the ones that ONLY use it for their personal situation, or to gripe or whatever, can continue to be stingy. Unfortunately I can think of at least 3-5 good hobby friends that are that way. Oh well.....I guess if that makes them happy (to not share) then who are we to spoil their happiness.

btw, to the original question- I do not think Auction Houses should be able to register sets on registries. Just my opinion. It should be for collectors. An inanimate object (business) can't collect.

Adam, when a registry card/set is sold it will stay in the registry until the new owner tries to enter the card and then they will get a notice that the card is in another set and do you wish to send them an email to remove it. PSA/SGC gives them a couple days and then they will remove it for you, a few times they have asked for front and back scans to make sure you own the card.

The down side of this is when a graded card/set is sold to someone who is not a registry collector the cards can stay in the old set, I follow one exhibit set that a bunch have been sold and yet the set still shows them in it 1 year after they were sold.

Scott, we must have been thinking and typing at the same time!
