I think it was luck. At least the effect that the registry has had on market prices component anyhow. I think they just wanted to create a useful way for collectors to organize their sets and give them checklists to chase. Leading to more submissions. I think that was their goal initially. Getting people to want to submit their commons in addition to their high value cards so that they could have full sets in slabs. But I don't think they envisioned it giving them a massive edge over the competition in the long run by having this upward pricing pressure from the registry a decade later.
