I don't subscribe to, or care about the Registry, so don't really follow it or know much about how it truly works. But my understanding is that collector's collections/sets are ranked based on the average PSA grades of their cards. So how does that work for Registry ranking purposes when one person has a card graded PSA9(OC) versus another person with the same card graded a straight up PSA7 where there is no qualifier shown, but the downgrade from a 9 was due to the card also being slightly OC?
Does PSA somehow adjust for the qualifiers, so the Registry people see no difference, or does the PSA9 with a qualifier actually get more credit than a PSA7 with no qualifier in the Registry rankings? If they don't adjust for that, I can see a lot of Registry people getting pissed if they do away with qualifiers in the grading of cards going forward. Gives a potential unfair advantage to Registry people that had higher graded cards with qualifiers already included in their registry sets/collections.
