Rob bought a lot of cards, as in three totes worth. A breaks slowing down? PSA opens value service (but is it a value?)

Didn't we say last episode stealing was bad? Apparently some people didn't get the message and robbed a FedEX truck of a lot of freshly graded PSA cards. How bad is it? Pretty bad honestly.  Rob opened some Ginter on his birthday and could you narrow your collection if you had to?

It seems like everyone should know this by now, but it seems like some people didn't get the memo. If it's not yours, don't take it. CGC grading video gives Rob pause and PSA looses a card...uhoh.

While this may not be as long as usual, that doesn't mean it's not as profound as always. Ok, well, that may be a bit of over reach, but Rob wasn't feeling %100 so Eric let him off easy. A lot of new stuff coming out in the next couple of weeks as well as a couple interesting questions.

Rob's branching out to Whatnot, at least for now. Collectors Universe has grading all jacked up and who are some of the guest signings at the upcoming show in Philadelphia.

The guys get a little off track early on this one but as always, Eric steers it back on course. Griffey cards are rising rapidly and Eric is debating if he should sell or not.

When it comes to judging Pokemon conditions, Rob is apparently clueless. A restored Honus Wagner sells for a lot of money and as far as Rob and Eric are concerned, PSA has a monopoly.

The National is going on right now, yes, right now in Chicago, and no, we are not there, sadly, but we can sure talk about it.  eBay is lowering their authentication threshold and Topps sure is printing a lot of chrome cards.

Unwrapped boxes for sale, a solution to a self inflicted problem?  Don't be that guy.

The guys talk about the PSA grading times and prices at this year's National Card Show, a price for an Ohtani RC Superfractor and Rob's card show experience

How much is 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball going to run you ? While we can't tell you exactly, we bet it's a lot. What else could you get for that kind of cash?

Pokemon is continuing to boom and then some. Delays and more at PSA.

PSA installed some recent changes, which, "surprisingly," are not great.  A lot of new releases are coming out and also, what's going on with X (aka: Twitter)

Did we get off the rails in this one? We will let you all be the judges of that. Cash on arrival is dead in our book plus some other hobby news.

Eric and Rob were both excited for Topps Chrome Football to come out, but now, not so much.  What kind of cards would you send to SGC ?
