Leon,
I think we have differences of opinion about PSA.
You look at the registry sets as a marketing tool.
I look at them as another way for PSA to stick their hands into collectors pockets, strictly for the money grab. Grading and authentication have an alleged purpose but registry sets do not have any purpose except to boost certain collectors egos and to add $$$ to PSA's pockets.
