Population reports are decent measures of relative scarcity between cards and also grades of an individual card. To pay serious money for a current representation of population fails to acknowledge the future discovery of cards and, as we see here, future changes in how that information will be calculated and recorded.
I echo the sentiments that this is yet another opportunity for SGC to strengthen its market share, which has always had its foundation in being an alternative to PSA. I, too, hope that SGC can finally create a functioning web-based registry -- one that does not require 5 minutes per card image upload or deletion. I never edit my SGC registry anymore because I don't have an entire weekend to burn.
