PSA is growing at a rapid rate in the hobby. The company is evolving in ways that improve the overall experience for the customer, and now they're making it easier to sell your cards too! However, what does this mean for the future of SGC and BGS? You as the hobbyist can grade and sell your cards with PSA, so are people still going to want to send their cards to other grading companies?

PSA is now allowing their customers the chance to consign their grading submissions the moment the grades pop. This will allow cards to hit the PSA eBay page at a faster rate while the markets are hot! Also, rumors are circulating that PSA is eliminating the "declared value" section when submitting orders.

PSA is on pace to grade between 15 and 16 million cards this year. Last year PSA graded 13 million cards so what does this mean for the hobby going forward? Can all of these PSA slabs sustain value in the future? Also John and I discuss the impact breakers have on the hobby. Are breakers starting to corner the wax market? Is it worth ripping wax product or should you just join a break?

The NHL season is officially on its way, and Upper Deck is releasing a ton of new sets! Sets such as O-Pee-Chee Platinum and Series 1, and future sets like SP Authentic and Skybox Metal can be great buys with major upside. Of course Connor Bedard is still a top pull with gold 1/1's to hit, but there are other rookies like Lane Hutson who's hitting some major amounts on eBay!

Topps Mercury cards have already been hitting the eBay market! We are seeing cards sell for thousands of dollars, but is this FOMO? Will these cards remain this valuable over the next few years?

Some big hobby news was announced the other day. Connor Bedard signed an exclusive deal with Fanatics to be the sole distributor of his signed memorabilia!
