The PSA discussion continues, but this time the focus shifts from grading delays to a much bigger question:

How did we get here?

Jeremy Lee, David Chase, Joe Poirot, and Josh Adams debate whether PSA's dominance is a company problem, a hobby problem, or some combination of both. Along the way, the conversation explores competition, grading alternatives, market behavior, collector psychology, and why so many hobbyists continue to support systems they openly criticize.

The discussion also touches on Beckett's future, TAG's role in the market, grading company competition, and whether collectors should rethink how much power they give third-party grading altogether.

Expect strong opinions, disagreement, and plenty of hobby philosophy.
