Yes, there certainly are. And there are no greater fools in this hobby than those who compete on the set registry.
Reminds me of the vintage Topps card I bought raw from Greg Morris last year as an "EXMT" card for about $50. It looked pretty good when it arrived though, so I sent it to PSA expecting a 7 but it came back in a 9 holder (pop 12 with none higher). Lol. I had no interest in owning a 9 though, so I bought another copy in similar condition for another $50 and sent the PSA 9 back to Greg Morris where some clown paid almost $5k for it because they just had to pip up the ranks on their registry. But like every other card in their collection, they just paid $5k for an over graded $50 card that was graded by an incompetent noobie grader at PSA.
