It's not as easy as just saying "set registry" but I think it really was the thing they couldn't overcome.
Back in oh 2011, BGS was the absolute go-to for ultra modern while PSA was plugging away in the vintage space. I felt like the shift would occur eventually.
If everyone zigging clamored to put their Bryce Harper into a BGS holder, the zaggers realized that a PSA 10 artificially more rare than the hundreds of BGS 9.5s. Secondly, I think we give too much credit to folks. When you see a 10 vs 9.5 and you're brand new to the game, 10 is supreme. This just caused a steady erosion in my opinion that never was corrected by BGS.
