Scott Fandangowhat does SMR have to do with POP reports and resubmits? they are 2 different things entirely...
first POP reports are not useless , althought they may not be 100% accurate...
for instance, a pop report will accurately show how many of the highest grade exists.....it will also give you the MAXIMUM number of graded examples, another good barometer...
also, the few amount of crackouts and crossovers is very small relative to the entire population, so just because you may have a redundant card (graded twice from a crackout) it doesnt nullify ALL the information...
also, if anything, the PSA POP reports are way more useful than SGC because SGC doesnt differentiate variations (which is a huge error i believe on their part) SGC POP report is VERY USELESS for E90-1 specifically..how can you not label the 3 different keeler cards COME ON SGC GET WITH IT!
lastly, anyone who argues $99 is not worth it for PSA membership is not too swift....you are basically prepaying for 6 submissions and they give you online access to POP reports (which i believe is useful) and they give you a magazine subscription that is at least worth $20 yearly fee. and is good light reading for lunch break...
