Adding a Set to the PSA Set Registry

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to get other collectors thoughts or experience with making a request for a set to be added to the PSA Set Registry. I made a request for two (2) back in November 2024 (TCG-Company Sets), and my submission was confirmed, but it is almost a year now and I haven’t seen anything listed nor have I received an email confirming or denying my submission request. I know PSA was backlogged on these for a while and we couldn’t even make a request, but just curious other collectors experience with this process lately. Thanks in advance.

This sums up my experience,

I just mentioned it in another thread that you asked but I just had a set take almost exactly a year to get added. Had kind of forgotten about it to be honest. The set registry is clearly not a priority for PSA anymore.

The set registry and the app was very ahead of it’s time but I’m referring to a time where PSA was still taking paper form submissions.

The set registry seemed to be a bigger priority before the new ownership. It has stayed relatively unchanged while other services from PSA has seen significant improvement. So I’d say it’s more of a before-thought than an after-thought

It’s a shame it’s no longer a priority, because now that I’m collecting non-Pokemon cards there is a lot more opportunity for grading and building mint sets. A lot of these other games while PSA grades them, don’t have any registry sets yet so I’ll echo the same sentiments above that it can take up to a year to have a new set recognized in the registry.

Maybe at one time it was, but in recent years it has been treated like an after thought

I guess maybe a better fitting word I’m looking for is neglected?

Long customer service, long set request wait times, long slot approval wait times, and a digital album showcase feature that doesn’t work anymore

9 times out of 10, whenever the Set Registry comes up in discussion, it seems like it’s out of frustration

Yep. I just can’t stand half-assing. Keep up with it or call it a day and shut it down.

It was prioritized more in the past because it helped engagement. Now engagement is abundant, so it collects dust. Regardless its always been pretty niche. I agree though they should put more effort into it, I think it would get more traction today.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to give me your thoughts and any info on the current state of the registry. I hope one day it may become more of a priority, but I certainly wont hold my breathe.
