Great card! I miss watching him blitz. So fun seeing him bust through with line with his hair flying all over the place lol

This topic got a lot more interesting with Collectors acquiring Beckett. So Collectors now own PSA, SGC and Beckett. Thoughts on that?

I agree. It seems as time goes on, we almost need a new category for the 90s era stuff. Its not vintage and its technically not modern at this point. You are right that so many people in the hobby never saw a lot of people from that era play or if they did, they were too young to remember. There is a ton of upside in that market with there being so many GOATs and their best cards being from that time frame. Population is big here as a lot of that stuff was not worth much when it came out so people didn’t take that good care of it. Plus like you said, a lot of it is condition sensitive right from the pack.

That is awesome! Can’t go wrong with Spiderman. What is that card numbered to?
-
There are a lot of game worn options if the card companies close to go that route. But over the past 5 years or so, they have mainly gone with player worn and now the “not from any game or event”. Which is pretty much a jersey from Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Michigan for me! I’m sure there will get more people from all over the map once this group builds up.

SGC has a very long history grading vintage card and are well trusted by that community. Plus, with vintage, its all about eye appeal. So if the card looks good, and is authenticated by a grading company you can trust, it makes a lot of sense to go with SGC. I also don’t think re-sale value takes a huge hit with a vintage card in a SGC slab.

I generally decide based on which features I value more. Do I want the best resale value? Quickest turn time? Easiest process? Once I decide what means the most to me, thats when I will select one. For me personally, I use PSA just because they have the highest re-sale value and 99% of my collection is already PSA. A case can be made for other companies like SGC if maybe you just want it slabbed for your PC or if you want them back in hand ASAP to flip. SCG is also really good for vintage cards so submitting to them might make more sense for those kind of items. A lot of people will use BGS to chase black labels which is not an option for other companies. Everyone will have their own opinion here on what works best for them.

I agree with you, One Piece is getting big fast. There are a lot of expensive cards out there and they are only climbing. I just wish I understood it lol
-
I’m the same with PSA. Do we know if they will be cross training them? I have been hearing that they will all still be treated as individual companies.

I agree 100% here. Like I said, it reminds me of the 2020 covid boom for sports cards. Once the flippers and all the nonsense went away, it stabilized at amounts that made more sense but were still well above 2020 prices. At that point, we had a nice healthy market.

Hey @cmooreskys I have noticed that too. I was pricing cards for a show this past week and one card I had it priced at $450 a few months ago and had to drop it to the new comp of $275. Luckily, I bought it raw and graded it myself so I still made a nice profit :). I somewhat agree that it may be time to buy but also hard to tell where the new bottom will be. Also, a lot of these card a year or so ago were not even close to where they were after this drop.

I can see it cooling down but a lot of card stabilizing at all time high. Kind of like the sports card market did after covid. I agree that Pokémon cards have a lot of avenues to draw in collectors. We see people who are into it due to nostalgia (like me), card game play, video game play and to flip and make money. It is the highest grossing media franchise of all time after all.
