I used to track Old Judge Population reports for SGC and to a lesser extent, PSA. SGC always had growing populations but strangely, PSA didn't. For example, on October 22nd, 2004, PSA had graded 13 total Monte Ward Old Judge cards. Fast forward about a year, September, 2005, and PSA had a total population of zero (Monte Ward). The population reduction only seemed to affect some players in the Old Judge set. I wouldn't be surprised at finding some PSA graded Old Judges that are no longer reflected in the population reports. Can't speak for other sets.
