I think they realize that the registry train left the station a long time ago and they were not on it. PSA owns the registry and it is the most valuable asset that they have.

Yeah I don't think introduction of a registry would give SGC any more of a competitive edge at this point. PSA has run away with that concept. $30 per card has not helped them either.

Jay,

Do you think as it seems that more investors/flippers are entering the market these days that it may eventually start to take a little lustre off their registry asset? I know part of that registry advantage is that collectors will pay dearly to improve their set rank and standing on the registry, but a lot of these newcomers don't seem to care about that. They buy the PSA cards because they typically bring a higher price over SGC and Beckett graded cards, but as time goes by and maybe fewer and fewer people are as concerned about the registry, can you see that pricing gap between PSA and the others maybe start to close?
