The PSA Set Registry is home to the world's greatest trading card collections, and this year marks the 20th annual Set Registry Awards! Let's look at some of the top collections awarded and learn how you can get involved.
From PSA's website:
The PSA Set Registry gives collectors the opportunity to safely show off their PSA-graded items in a secure online environment and compare their collections to some of the greatest ever assembled. You can start with just one card or ticket and build your set over time or add an entire collection.
Collectors can start with just a card and build their set over time or add an entire collection they've already out together. You can post images of your items and view those of other collectors in your area of interest. Once you have added some cards, you can begin building sets based on your inventory.
Have you got a couple of cards from the Mount Rushmore of baseball cards?
Maybe you've got every LeBron James Prizm Silver? (9 cards so far).
Each sport has a 'Mount Rushmore' set to chase
The PSA Set Registry allows you to share what sets you have or sets you are chasing plus see what other collectors are doing.
And collectors are doing a lot.
This years awards have gone to some of the most amazing collections ever assembled.
The award for Best Collection of the year for 2021 went to Ken Kendrick, known as egkjr on the Registry. He is already in the Hall Of Fame for sets like his 1952 Topps basic but his Top 20 Sports Cards In The Hobby (a 20-card subset of the Top 250 Sports Cards of all time) pushed him out as the front runner for Collection of the Year.
With 20 cards spanning the decades from 1909 to 1986 there are currently only 3 collectors who have this set.
