Though not from PSA's standpoint of course. Hey, if it encourages suckers to send in their cards, great!
The registry was the smartest thing PSA ever did. Most people love to compete and have something to aspire to. The registry provides that. One of the big reasons SGC never got close to PSA's level is their messing up of their own registry. There was a couple years there when SGC could have threatened PSA's dominance.

Regarding moving goal posts, PSA has 100% been tougher on grading Cracker Jacks. So much so that the grades have become almost irrelevant. What was a 5 is now a 2.
