First, that card doesn't look like an "8" to me... I guess why it's said "buy the card not the holder".
I'm not doing the registry thing, but it seems like a lot of people are into it. I think it could be fun, but I wouldn't personally care about who has the best conditioned cards in a particular arena.
I've never sent in a card to be graded by any of the grading companies, but when I purchase online I do try to pick up graded cards. I've had way too many instances when buying online that the raw card was nowhere near what I expected. To date, I haven't had a bad experience with a graded card; hopefully that will continue. If I'm going to a show I like to buy the raw stuff...
