Bob,

Virtually every high-end collector I know had given up on collecting cards as they could not tell for certain whether cards had been altered. PSA came on the scene and gave collectors assurance that cards were legit, collectors confidence was restored, the PSA Set Registry was established and the rest is history.

As far as the 2004 shiny stuff is concerned this is a silly comment. The best sets in every year are the graded ones and one only has to look at the huge numbers of sets registered 1887-1969 to see the impact that card grading has had.
