Both of these were my vibe so I decided to pull the trigger. One for the PSA Vault and one for the Fanatics Vault 🏦

I've been listening to a lot of card content - YouTube, Podcasts, etc, and the general sentiment towards PSA is obviously negative, not the grading delays, but more that they are moving into selling and repacking, which creates a conflict of interest, and that they are desperate for inventory, demonstrated by the fact they now have the functionality to make offers on the cards you send in for grading.

After losing out on a Stars Wars 1977 Topps Series 1 Luke Skywalker PSA8.5 at the weekend, I saw PSA had a PSA8 listed for sale on eBay at $4,000. I sent in what I thought was a fair offer based on the sale price of the 8.5 on Sunday, but it was 31% under the listing price, so I expected it to get ignored. I was pretty surprised that they accepted without negotiation, so I'm now the proud owner of this little beauty.

Felt like yesterday I had this card, but sold it one year ago. Beautiful card, just off-centered. Glad I was able to find a home for it 😄

2024 Topps Chrome Update RC Marco Luciano Rookie Debut Black Refractor 06/10 USC-132 - San Francisco Giants

First graded card sold. Sold this Eli Manning rookie card today! Bought it from a card shop for 10 bucks, sold it for 25, 15 dollars profit! (Not to mention that I bought it with a gift card, so really a 25 dollar profit!)

I did it! Just one day after I posted this card on eBay, I sold it! I sold this Justin Jefferson Optic rated rookie card! I sold it for six dollars! I found this card in a 25 cent bin last year, so I made a $5.75 profit! Not too bad!
