I know at least 100-200 people on the registry--maybe more and I do not know one who is an investor/speculator. To my knowledge eyeryone on the registry is a collector.
I also know a lot of people who never would have gotten into collecting if it wasn't for PSA and the advent of card grading. It gave collectors confidence that they could buy cards and know they had not been altered. Without that, you would have never seen the growth the hobby has experienced--in fact, it probably would have declined.
