Video idea for you (maybe you've already done one?); I've been binge watching your's and Jim's vids getting up to speed on this new to me grading thing and haven't went to CGC's site yet to navigate the whole POP count thing. Maybe do a video on key issues with low grades/pop counts. For example, I have a newstand 1961 Maris in great condition with a cover flap that has a large 61 on it. I haven't even seen a reveal on that Maris issue yet. Or Jack Nicklaus' 1st from '60. Would be hard to believe anybody tucking that one away back in the day. That video would be fun to go back and look at in the future IMO.

This is awesome! If the collector/seller that sold you yours sees this video and my comment, I’d be interested in buying one. Thanks! Great video.

Back in 2005 I thought it'd be cool if they started grading magazines, but wasn't sure it would happen cuz then you wouldn't be able to flip through them. It's too bad Beckett, being all about sports, didn't run with this in a big way, authenticate sigs AND grade and slab your mag. So many people had them autographed back in the day, sad that their mags are considered less than today, at least by cgc standards. I predict they'll expand the sports side of their business and start doing this someday. Prices are getting too high and there's so many autograph issues out there, seems inevitable. Beckett... what happened???

brad just going to throw something out there for you to maybe do a video on highest graded most graded pop report highest sales etc on other sports magazines ie sport inside sports etc
