PSA let me down on the grades. But, these cards should have some serious staying power over the couple of decades.

Sent these 2 off yesterday to the all powerful and all knowing PSA for Grading yesterday. Wish me luck!!

Social media personalities have been very critical of the 2025 Chrome product, and the Ratio of Quality Autos from the Retail vs Online Breakers. I have to admit, it’s not a bad theory. I can’t count the number of unknown bullpen RC autos that I opened in retail blasters. The trend continued into the Update Chrome product today. Why are there so many pitchers that no one is chasing vs position players? I don’t mean superstar position players, just position players period. Can anyone help me understand this?

Disappointed with the Judge Rookie Card. The value differential between a grade 9 and 10 is approaching 100%. With a PSA graded card that hurts. Each card cost $0.25-$1.00 depending on Chrome or Paper Base. $25 to grade each card and I’m no longer allowed to use time as a variable. PSA has officially made timelines impossible to predict. All in all it’s going to a wash due to the 9 grades. The Acuña yet can’t be valued as it’s a Pop 1. Hopefully my grandchildren will find value in the Judge Rookie Card in 50 years…

“The Flip” card show made it to Columbus. It had to sell a raw Drake Baldwin and 9 Grade Shohei. But, overall a W for my PC.
