Thanks, does it behoove anyone to inform the grading companies which of their cards are no longer in holders so they can remove them from the population reports? Because if there are 150 cards in the pop report but only 100 still in their holders, the remaining 100 cards are theoretically worth less than if the Pop was 100. Right? Or is it negligible?

Yeah, that is a good idea. I don't bother with it myself, because my cards are low grade and not of particular interest to anyone (at least I don't think so).

Although this does impact the card removal effect (read about it at sportscollectorsdaily.com), my belief is the grading companies don't care. I'm confident that when they accept a crossover, they do not notify their competitor.
