I can see the SGC and maybe Beckett people getting behind a better registry site, but the PSA people will thumb their nose at sheet cut Gretzky rookies and short BGS Jeter rookies, and not go through all the work to import their cards to another competitor site.
People are loyal to their grading company of choice like smokers are to their brand. PSA is still Marlboro. Or Microsoft. Or Coca Cola. They are the vast majority of the market, and once a company gets to that position, it is rare to give it up.

well if you have a registry company that claims they are re-grading all known grading company submissions when they enter it into a super master registry..they are halfway there to being a new grading company. They could also have sub grades to psa 8s (for database purposes) and call them 8.2s etc for owner registry purposes to beat out an offcentered psa 8. Dont need to make up new flips, its just what would be entered into the database. So if one guy has a psa 8 set..he may now be behind someone else's psa 8 set as a third party determined who had a better set etc
