I'm genuinely surprised a T206 Honus Wagner hasn't been put in a digital repack yet. It feels inevitable. Could we see that happen in 2027?
I don't collect football cards but if I did, this would be the set. Extremely condition sensitive.
🏈 $1.47 MILLION FOR A FOOTBALL CARD SET!
A nearly complete 1962 Topps Football set sold for $1,473,638!
175 of 176 cards. Decades of history.
Would you rather own this vintage masterpiece or $1.47M in modern rookie autos?

I've had a theory brewing that this would be the workaround if digital repacks were considered gambling due to the instant cash offers.
Businesses that claim to be unaffiliated could serve as cash-out middlemen for very low fees then sell the cards back to the repack companies.
Pokémon cards being used to get around gambling laws?! 💀
Texas deputies raided 7 game rooms in San Antonio, taking 20+ people into custody and seizing nearly 600 machines.
Instead of cash payouts, winners received Pokémon and sports cards, which could reportedly be sold for cash at a business next door.

Friendly reminder that November and December are ALWAYS the slowest hobby months
Buy up for March & April
Great improvement for the Authenticity Guarantee packages.
Naturally, some people are already complaining.
I've had actual arguments with people about this exact topic. I'm with Steve on this one... the autograph needs to stand on its own regardless of provenance.
Can a genuine autograph still fail authentication? Yes. Photos and provenance can add context, but the signature itself has to stand on its own. What would you ask an authenticator? #Autographs #Collectibles

Sesame Workshop mourns the loss of Sir Patrick Stewart. Thank you for being our friend and for sharing your brilliance, joy, and kindness with the world. 💛💚
If you have an AI subscription, just ask it how to solve one of your pain points as a collector. You'll be surprised how far you can get building a personal tool/app with relatively little programming knowledge.

I think every collector should have one of these in their collection #ad

One step closer to value bulk.
It will be interesting to watch the GemRate numbers to see how PSA handles the increased demand this will bring.
We’re excited to announce that Value is coming back, starting October 29 at 8 am PT for $39.99. Plus, Standard and Priority estimated turnaround times are getting faster. Learn more: psacard.click/Value-Opening-…
New Value orders will be processed after existing orders. This will not affect estimates for orders in line.
Lots of people dunking on this. I see roles like this as great opportunities for the right people.
You get to build relationships and experience the lifestyle that comes with grinding shows every weekend with somebody else paying for food, travel, and a bankroll that gets you in the conversations with the right people.
So many people are trivializing how much work it takes to go from a few grand starting capital to 6 figures/year profit in a market where everything isn't going up like it was a few years ago.
This role caps the upside for the employee while nearly eliminating the downside risk (assuming they aren't terrible at the job).
