SGC’s Price Increase Could Be a Warning for PSA Collectors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SGC just changed its grading service levels, with standard grading now starting at $50 as demand and turnaround times surge. But could SGC's move tell us something much bigger about where PSA and the entire card-grading market are headed? We break down SGC's new pricing, its dramatic grading-volume trends, the PSA comparison, and whether $50 could become the new normal for sports card grading.

ALT’s Cooper Flagg Auction Is Genius (imo)…but There’s a Problem 😬 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ALT is taking bids on the massive Cooper Flagg 1/1 Rookie Debut Patch Auto — without actually having the card consigned. And that raises a fascinating question for the sports card hobby: should every major auction house do this? We break down why this model could give sellers more power, why auction houses might hate the transparency, and whether this could become the sports-card version of free agency for the hobby’s biggest grails.
