This scratches at my question- when a registered set is sold, and then broken up, how does the registry account for that? Does someone have to notify PSA? Or more properly put - and we have this issue with population reports and cross overs/crack and resubmit - how is the registry updated, if at all, when registered cards/sets are dismantled?

Until PSA decides to have registries for back runs (I am assuming they don’t), I have no use for the registry; although owning something that is#1 or 2 of anything is undeniably exciting.

When a card is sold it is customary for the seller to remove it from their set. In many cases the seller either forgets or doesn't bother and if so there is a process that PSA uses where you enter the Cert and it sends a note to the owner and after three tries you can send a scan of the front and back of the card to their inbox and they will manually remove it.

Once removed you can enter it into your set and it will reflect the new ownership.

You can retire a set and choose to keep the individual cards in your inventory or remove all from your inventory at that time. If the set was in the Top 5 of that set all time, it will stay on that list as a retired set. The new buyer can then register all the same cards, create their set, and improve on it with their own additional cards. Then the new set would show up in the Current Finest and All time finest lists. The retired set is not in the current finest listing.
PSA will make back runs if you ask them to, if someone hasn't done it already. You just need 5 cards of a "set" to make the request.

PSA is not taking set requests at this time. It has been that way for a long time now.

A long time now? Look how many new sets they added this month...

Ok. Submit your own request and see how that goes. When you get the automated reply email stating they are not taking your request post back.

I can save you some time: https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/setrequests

My set is on the list. I completed it from zero cards to completion and it still has not been added. It took over a year to complete the set.

I can't speak to the current time frame but when I requested a set a year and a half ago it took maybe six weeks or so to be added.

If you are on the list you just have to play the waiting game.
