I gave up with the BGS Registry over a year ago. It was the primary reason I collect. It became so frustrating I decided to stop collecting until I gave the famous PSA Registry a try. I will give them credit that they maintain it and it works very nicely. I would like to get some of my stuff slabbed that goes in a BGS holder still but if the prices and turnaround time stays where it is I will leave them in the drawer

I am from the Philippines. For us collectors here it was already expensive for me to send my cards through a middle man who consolidated other cards from other collectors. It used to take 2-3 months before our slabs arrived to us before and now we have to wait around 10 months to a year. I was lucky to have graded a few of my high end and base cards before the price increase. Now its just wait and see if things normalize but it seems the current situation we collectors are facing  is an new normal.
