Strong grading numbers for sure. I think the thing to watch over the next 3-5 years is the price gap/premium between 10s and 9s, especially from the 80s into the early 2000s. When there is such a wide price gap between 10s and 9s from these eras (a 9 being less than 25% or so of 10, for example) only two things can happen: 1) Inflated prices of 10s fall, as people start to realize they can't tell the difference between 9s and 10s, or 2) 9s get the respect they deserve and their prices start creeping up.
I still have 14 full books of baseball, hockey, football and basketball from the 70s to the 90s which was my childhood collection! That would be some serious grading.....
I sent off 29 cards at the Jan deal, they were received the 24th. Completed in 6 business days and I’ll have them at my door this upcoming Tuesday the 6th! Also hit 23/29 10’s so not a bad day in the hobby. 👍🏽💯
Yep, absolutely right. Just like with the gold rush in the 1800's, the best business is to be in the one selling the supplies (or doing the grading now), than in the mining / card prospecting game.
@@benjaminlyng8269 Baseball and hockey are the only affordable rips of the 4 major sports. Hockey has always been a regional/niche sport and baseball has been declining in popularity among youth for 2 generations while TCG and Pokemon have exploded. Not really all that surprising if you look at it that way.
I agree graded cards are the thing in the hobby… I’ve been participating in the PSA monthly specials for the last 6 months.. alot of my raw cards are now graded and in PSA slabs…. some grades SUK bad tho and I will break them out back to raw.. lol
I dont think I’d ever buy a non sports card in a CGC slab…. I hve many non sports cards in my collection… I only want PSA, SGC, and Bucket in my collection…. not a prayer, just a thought...
Mild corner wear but good centering? SGC Corners sharp but slightly off center? PSA Thick card, patch/jersey auto or unusual cardstock material? BGS or SGC Mild surface defect? SGC GOAT that will grade 8 or better? PSA
The demand for TCG and sports cards won't outstrip the supply until at which point the US FED stops selling off their bond and mortgage holdings and starts buying again. Unfortunately, for the hobby (mostly investors), this could be at least a year or more from now. The bottom line is this, when liquidity is tightening, when there is less money in the system, when the supply of money is dropping, there is less cash around to flow into things like collectables. Soon, the boom in card grading will start to level off and then decline, as graded card selling prices fall. The incentive to pay for grading will dry up in more and more corners of this hobby. In addition, while you get the raw numbers for total cards being graded, I am willing to bet that the average price being paid (ASP) to grade those cards is coming down fast. So while unit sales are strong, it's more hamburger and less steak. Lobster left the building long ago....
What created the hobby boom was wall street and investment groups buying cards. They are making enough off money market and savings accounts to think about flipping cards in 2024.

I beleive in sgc for TCG people will catch on eventually
Love Beckett. Will continue to use and congrats to all the other companies success as well
I just added a BGS 9.5 2010-11 upper deck sp sign of the time Larry bird auto to my collection this week! Love my Larry bird cards!

I'm 100% CG based off of price and time. I pay $10.80 per card. When you submit in bulk, every dollar counts
Did you take part in grading?
Are you going to talk about the altered SGC graded LeBron James card?
Thought they handled it well!
I love all your content! Will you talk about how PSA grades autograph cards? Keep up the good work!
99.99% of these will be worth less than the grading cost.
Yep, absolutely right. Just like with the gold rush in the 1800's, the best business is to be in the one selling the supplies (or doing the grading now), than in the mining / card prospecting game.
Despite the fall in card prices from the Covid boom, grading seems to march on with great numbers.
Amazing how much of this demand is Pokeman cards. I just don’t understand it.

Subscribed!!! Like the channel im thinking about doing a CGC submission on my channel
Thanks! 🙏
What are your thoughts on CGC? I am liking the slab and labels. I'm submitting for my PC, that's why I'm leaning that way.
ONE GRADING COMPANY AND NO SLAB BREAKING… ALSO SLABS WITH SECURITY FEATURES…ONLY THEN I CAN SEE A BRIGHT FUTURE.
When u have this much grading, anything less than a 10 will not be worth anything unless its a very rare card
I agree graded cards are the thing in the hobby… I’ve been participating in the PSA monthly specials for the last 6 months.. alot of my raw cards are now graded and in PSA slabs…. some grades SUK bad tho and I will break them out back to raw.. lol
Still needs to be cheaper to grade.
I’m very excited to go to the spring chanilly and phlly show.. my favorite shows…. i’ll be at both.. with cash on hand….
I would like to grade several cards, but I have never gone through the process.
Stick with sgc they're great
I dont think I’d ever buy a non sports card in a CGC slab…. I hve many non sports cards in my collection… I only want PSA, SGC, and Bucket in my collection…. not a prayer, just a thought...
When I see a cgc 10 pokemon card I go "oh look a 9.5" and they get all pissed off
I have been and I'm still trying to grade as many Justin Fields cards as I can before the draft😮
Im just here to see if you changed that sweatshirt yet!?!?!
My new favorite! lol 😆
@@TheSportsCardDad i see that!!!
I have no modern non sports cards… they are all vintage and pre war and first year cards… pokemon, garbage pail kids, pop culture, and comic heroes..
WTH was that church video? 😂😂😂
Yeah what's the religion or church to search for on youtube
I miss Alf 😥
Here’s here! My new tripod will be here soon and he’ll be back in the picture lol
You know what I’m gonna say!!!!!
Mild corner wear but good centering? SGC
Corners sharp but slightly off center? PSA
Thick card, patch/jersey auto or unusual cardstock material? BGS or SGC
Mild surface defect? SGC
GOAT that will grade 8 or better? PSA
