T206 Plank on PSA's website

I attended the PSA Set Registry luncheon as a guest last year and the issue of pedigreed labelling was brought up at one point during the Q/A session at the end. I am also certain that one of the caveats to the pedigree designation is that they are numbered separately on the label (from the regular submissions) and as such cannot be added to the PSA Set Registry. This rub may have been changed in the past year, I don not know.

While clearly an accomplishment, I don't know if I would consider getting a set of mid-grade T206's graded as a collection per se. My personal idea of a collection worthy of any sort of pedigree labelling would include names like Halper or Branca, or whoever has the autographed cards in the REA right now. Kind of odd that only two cards out of the whole set would get the Mister X designation.

And yes, I did get a nice PSA hat and tee shirt last year. The t-shirt is especially nice since I can wear it all of the time yet put another shirt over it to cover it up. I expect a pair of PSA boxers this year to complete the set.

BTW, maybe it's because I'm a pharmacist, but when I hear PSA the first thing I think of is Prostate Specific Antigen...
