This is The Hobby Never Sleeps —let’s dive in!
We got a behind-the-scenes look at PSA — the backlog, the grading floor, and why they can't just ”hire more graders.” Plus: is a $63K LeBron Alter Ego crazier than an $8M Cooper Flagg?
Dante and Connor are back from California with everything they learned at PSA: how many people touch your cards, why the backlog exists, when PSA Value might reopen, and why the new PSA app could turn into something much bigger.
Then it's a massive week of sales — three NBA debut patches crossing $2M+, the Kobe/LeBron Dual Logoman at $6.5M, and the case for buying ”third-tier” stars before the market catches up. We also debate debut patches vs. Bowman 1st Superfractors, the JJ McCarthy trade and what it means for his cards, Panini's new Minor League Baseball deal, and whether it's OK to clean up card photos with AI before you sell.
