    Grading today is all about making a profit. Back in the 90s it was about authenticating the cards and deciphering their condition. As long as greed continues to capitalize the reason to grade or not we will never slow down submitting cards. The hobby is all about flipping and less about collecting these days.

      That isn't true at all. There were still a ton of dealers. In fact, you could argue that there were even more. Hence why there were so many cards made. Grading wasn't really a thing, but card shops were everywhere. Why not try to make money on cards? I'd much rather do that then work in a factory.

      It’s already a huge problem at most large shows. I have seen 100’s of the same Luis Robert Bowman Chrome 1st in PSA 10 at the same dealer and the guy wouldn’t go below $50 each because he has way too much invested in the grading and was hoping buyers were stuck in 2020. He had tons of other of the same cards of Trae, Acuna, Soto and so many others that used to be worth a lot more.

    A factor that should be considered: Quality. You know the saying, "Good, fast, cheap. Pick two." I wonder if PSA grading 1.2 million cards in a month while speeding up turnaround might result in hurried evaluations. Undeserved 10's for some brand new cards? Not enough scrutiny of vintage cards? I don't claim these things, it's just a question. A million-plus cards in a month is nuts.

I am not going to be stopping soon - while the haters in the comments will talk about profit, flipping, and all of the horrible people grading cards, I am a collector first and have graded over 200 Bo Jacksons for my PC. But yes, the other hundred that I have graded I have done mostly to sell, in order to fund by continual collecting of my PC. So I guess I am part holy and part evil according to many but I’m having a blast! 💁🏼‍♂️

Also a slightly more affordable box than Prizm nothing too major. An entire year of collecting every Panini set and I’m waiting on 4 auto redemptions and didn’t get a single on card auto it was all stickers. Hopefully Topps does a better job so I’m excited overall.

    @TenaciousAC Před 4 měsíci +1

    A lot of the PSA demand is from the TCG market right now. There seems to be enough raw product plus enough demand to get those TCG cards into PSA slabs.
    Meanwhile, over on the sports card side, a lot of years / sets / players have maybe hit their temporary ceiling and the yearning to grade those cards is drying up. Specific (Year + Set + Player) situations where there are over 10,000 slabs graded total….. might not see another 500… 200… even 100 new slabs over the next year. A lot of high-volume graded cards are coming off their peak waves and not a lot of years / sets / players are jumping in to take their place.
    Basically the tsunami surge is trying to be filled by a lot of little waves that don’t pack the same sustained energy. And when there’s gaps for PSA to fill/grade, TCGs are only too happy to take sports cards’ places.

    You do realize it’s an agenda right? He’s pushing graded cards because that's what’s on the shelves in his store. I think graded is overrated and the only use to me is whether an auto is authentic. Only reason is to make cards more out of reach for the ordinary consumer.

      How were they pushing graded cards? They reported on how many cards were graded last month and talked about the reasons some folks choose to grade. As to the value of grading, it is a lot easier to buy graded over the internet than raw and know what you are getting, especially with vintage. You can decide for yourself what that piece of mind is worth and how much value the grading companies are adding.

      This guy was the first guy to start bringing up the pop count hysteria. You can’t accuse him of what you are saying. I was at this guys throat for two years for talking shit about newer cards.
      Here is the truth. I’ve done years of research on this. There are more Lebron James serial numbered rookies than ja morant serial. Numbered rookies.
      The difference between 2014 serial numbered rookies to 2019 serial numbered rookies is less than 40%, IN A TIME THE HOBBY INCREASED BY LIKE 10x.
      The pop count hysteria is bullshit! There are more base than ever, but base is basically for kids and set collectors.
      The pop counts to 2019 are actually dramatically less than the increase of the hobby.

    Just an overhyped junk plastic industry..what started as something serious for true collectors/traders to worship and preservate their precious memorabilia / value, turned into some junk contest of a money seeking horde..oh we gotta grade 100000000000 pokemon / yugioh cards? lol
    stuff gets rushed through some "grading" system, sometimes you get an 8, sometimes for the same item a 9 or 10..grading is like taking a self-covid test..you need 2-3 attempts to get the right result..

      You do know Fanatics own Topps right? Fanatics runs everything into the ground and has killed the affordable apparel market by having a monopoly on licensed apparel. $50 T shirts, $100 sweatshirts $200 replica jerseys. Once Fanatics gets all of the licenses for all of the major sports they will Jack up the price as collectors will not have any other options. At least with jerseys they have knock off China jerseys.

Once Fanatics takes over everything licensed (like they do for apparel) they will have a monopoly over the card market as collectors will have nowhere else to get their fix.
