I would play that vending machine in Vegas a few times. If they added screen shots of the card on a slots wheel, that would be awesome!!!

Happy Vacation Month Mike! Have you ever gone to a national card show? Do you ever trade cards? Thanks! Bret

Dang, dude....make sure to take some time to actually RELAX!!!

Looking forward to the card shop videos. I’m always on the lookout for good shops I can drive to from Mass. Definitely gonna try to hit up a few you’ve highlighted when I’m in Maine next month.

Walmart in Florida has a Loss Prevention Dept in stores and they aren't playing. I have seen them arrest 2 seperate people in the times I have been at the store.

Selling some of the Vermont collection? 🤩

Curious, what job do you hold that you are able to take a month off of work? I'm thinking about switching careers. lol

Terry is getting blocked instantly what is wrong with people 🙄

Sort of strange that PSA would announce you can’t share grader’s notes and at the same time announce you can now grade and send directly to auction on eBay. In this scenario, the person who ultimately ends up with the card won’t have any info on why it got the grade it got. Meanwhile, the submitter, who is selling the card and therefore doesn’t want it, will have the notes regarding the condition of a card they no longer own and won’t be able to pass that info along to the buyer of the card without violating PSA’s terms of service. Absolutely brilliant minds running things over there at PSA.

Another great video, thanks!!

Not that I sell many sports cards, but I blocked onebigbozo because of this video. Good on the seller for publicly calling them out.

I was watching another video before bed and I thought to myself, “I never commented on Mike’s video this morning!” I was thinking of how much I love this weekly video series and I think the name is brilliant. That is all lol. Oh, and have a great first week of vacay!

Breakers are just acting as brokers of cards and provide no real value other than having access to product. They make things more expensive and difficult to obtain.

I’m not interested in slabbed cards at all. So I’m not gonna buy PSA graded cards that are impossible to crack without hurting the card.

I don't think one person or people can ruin the hobby. With all the good people in the hobby, I feel just fine. 33 years for me, and no plans of quitting. I don't care about lines on PSA cases. If I had some and they needed fixed, I would contact PSA. If another breaker scammed someone and I buy from them, I would move in and not buy from them again. It is no different how you should handle any adversity in life. Step back, take a deep breath and just think how to handle any situation. Don't rush to UA-cam, just handle it. Always good to share the experience to help others be aware. Clearly any and all Backyard Breaks past content did not effect them in a negative way because they are still in business and selling out breaks.

Thanks Mike! I enjoyed it

People are morons when they damage cards like that. Donate them formcrying out loud!

I have no problem with breakers as a thing. I think its likely that some bigger breakers get loaded product. And I think in general its not a good value to pay for spots in breaks. But people can do what they want, who cares if other people choose to spend their money poorly.

They aren’t breaking the hobby. . . They ALREADY broke it!

I just had a eBay seller who scams eBay I guess if seller don't except returns they can just refuse your request and eBay will pick up the bill and of course my luck I happen to stumble upon a seller like that I bought a card from him it looked really nice in the photo it shows up with a giant crease he's not responding to the refund request I left negative feedback his response was I don't need to deal with the return eBay will deal with it. pure scum

I think I have that game somewhere

Nearly every breaker does some kind of repack. I also thought their business wouldn't affect my love of 90's actor auto cards. But on more than one occasion I've received cards that have repack seals on the top loader. From what I've been hearing repackers have been buying strong on singles, I know you mostly collect vintage, but it wouldn't be impossible that a repacker might list a desirable vintage card as a top prize for the repack. Would it then affect your side of the hobby? Think regardless of how you collect (to use Neo's example) the "ecosystem" of our hobby has been impacted. To think you're safe might be a bit too conservative? Great video! Thanks!

Innovation and Change! People will be upset when it’s at a disadvantage to them or happy when it’s to their advantage. Change is happening whether we like it or not! Thanks for the video!

The Ballpark in Arlington could be argued that it is the House That Ryan Built. I mean you can argue that.

Not only does the PSA percentage include eBay's seller fees, but PSA ships and deals with any customer service issues.

I love how people still question PSA decisions! Why wouldn't PSA allow screen shots??? Because PSA was, is, and will always be crooked as hell! All businesses have to be concerned about profit or they fail to exist. PSA ONLY cares about making money. They don't give a damn about the hobby or the collectors. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST, PEOPLE, WAKE UP AND STOP USING PSA!!!

I'm not sure if ruining is the right word; but breakers are certainly souring the card experience for many rather than improving. Primarily raising wax cost on new products. It's very hard in modern basketball, to get hobby boxes to actually local card stores. Every store in town is out within 2 days of release. If Panini is allow one customer to get 30-40% of the allocation, something is wrong. I don;t know 100% if backyard is doing anything wrong, but its HIGHLY suspicious, they hit all these top tier basketball cards, with unfathomable odds. Specifically black prizm;s with large production runs.

That includes seller fees.

Hahahaha @ PSA. They did say you can write the PSA notes on a bathroom stall. Well done to the grading leaders (again). TAG for the win! 🎉🎉

This had been on my radar too! Good for you, Mike 👍❤️

What would I have done? The frozen song “let it go” comes immediately to mind. This video definitely lived up to all the hubbub 👍❤️

Psa is doing a cya on the notes. Has everything to do with liability and protecting the company from individual employees

Enjoy the hobby any way you like, a bought into breaks, didn’t enjoy, don’t enjoy ripping wax, so I just collect the players I love and that mean something to me! For me it's hobby, not a way to make extra money. I would think by now, a lot of people keep getting burned on these breaks, so I think long term it’s not viable.

Enjoy your RR from work!

Great stuff Mike- can’t wait for the fist channel to share grader notes. Will UA-cam capitulate and block the video? Will there be litigation? As Dirty Harry would say/ “make my day”

Inflation is more demand than supply. These companies make plenty for China yet they don't allocate hobby boxes for people like me who want to open my own box. Breakers like backyard are monopolizing a product by buying most of it. Breakers created a demand without a supply. Plenty of cards that's why cards don't go up in value. Super Breakers are a reality. The card industry is completely full of it with the greed and fake Inflation because people don't understand basic economics. I've been opening packs for 50 years and 2020 was the death of cards for the average opener. Breakers don't care about gambling laws and jurisdiction and legal definitions. PSA is a scam. They know nothing. All cards are perceived value. None of them have real value. I think people need to start asking how much do they make for China and how many autographs are they claiming these guys sign. No one can sign a name thousands of times without hurting your wrist. Companies that have been completely fraudulent in every aspect would definitely have an unwritten policy that they sell licensed autograph by proxy. It's all about perceived value and selling the lie. I love gambling but not on cards. I remember the don west days and ken goldin ripping people off on TV. I remember all the billions in fake memorabilia and how it combined with all the junk wax. People need to call out cards for what it has become, a convention of liars, scammers, and morons. The proof is there, no one makes money from investment into cards.

I feel like even though Ryan retired before the new stadium opened in 1994, the positive attention he brought to the franchise probably helped get the stadium built.

If someone just wants to make money they may be better off investing in stocks...the odds may be better than gambling with breakers or opening packs on their own. Understanding the stock market has more longevity than trying to buy and sell the sparkle 1 of 1 with huge transaction costs

It won't stop. People can't help themselves. Eventually, though, there will be another 'collapse' of the modern shiny market. Just hit up a show yesterday. The sheer amount of complete shiny garbage EVERYWHERE is totally absurd. This cannot sustain without another correction. All the sandwich company garbage from the last 8 years, in football cards, ALL looks the same. No one will care about any of this in the future. You can't even tell what's what due to the ridiculous amount of parallels every year. You look at a, say, Trevor Lawrence prizm card. Dealer says: "Oh, that's the optic prizm holo shimmer first off the line black mirror gold parallel. Got to get, at least, $18k for that bad boy. You: "cool story".

In another video yesterday, a person pulled a $35 Pokemon card from that PSA vending machine. It is fitting that this exists in a casino. Also, Terry sends me an e-mail like that, Terry gets blocked.

I've cracked the new slabs.. not too difficult. lol

Live breaks are like the casinos of the hobby. It's all gambling.

PSA Vending Machine. Great for PSA.. it's smart and taking advantage of gamblers, mostly.. People will do it, because that's fun.. but it's a gamble.. I'm not a gambler.

I think I'm turning into "that guy", but I can't stand how interconnected PSA, Ebay, Fanatics, Goldin, and a select group of breakers are nowadays. It's just ripe for scandal when money changes hands for something you never physically hold (break ▶️grade ▶️list▶️sell)

PSA's stance on the graders notes is stupid. I paid to have the card graded, they send me the notes, I now own the notes and they can't tell anyone crap about what they do with them once they are in possession of the collector. I guess they've never heard the saying "possession is nine tenths of the law".

I really don't care how much product they open; that's their 'out.' I believe it's clearly manipulation in the hobby. Look at the product produced vs. what's opened, the numbers aren't in their favor. Not just these 10 Wemby's, but also their past breaks. The odds are against them, big time. I also agree, in the sense, that you should buy into their breaks.. I'm not into that.. but it only makes sense.

The reason why they don't want you to show and compare notes is that people will find a lot of cards graded that are a higher grade that maybe shouldn't be by comparing notes. Also your going to find a lot of mistakes or over graded and under graded cards. Then they will get caught with all there shannagines and get flooded with calls about why this or that got a better grade than another of the same card that got a lower grade. If you'll stop sending in cards to grade and let them know everybody is tired of hearing about all there problems they will have to fix all there BS problems. All there problems end up costing customers more money or losing money and with all this going on they will raise the cost. Always great info you put out mike.

I’m not into breaking, but the hobby needs breakers to open the high dollar products in order for singles to reach the market. Definitely Panini is loading up hits to Backyard Breaks. I think if you submit cards to PSA and you only want a high grade, ask them not to slab the card unless it is a 10. Great solution to not needing to crack out a card. Plus PSA still gets the benefit of grading and not having to slab the card. Card shops need to put their valuable cards in a large safe at night. This is a shame. Great recap Mike have an awesome month off.

I love that you read and acknowledge every comment Mike. This is why you’re the Junk Wax HERO!

I don’t like that the breakers OBVIOUSLY get loaded boxes. It’s all a huge shell game and IMO we’re n a junk wax era again. All of these cards besides the real high end are going to be worthless.
