Hey all, if you're at National, check out our Team Store. I produced a range of goods exclusive for this event. I made a crazy red wool pillbox hat that's been more of a hit than I anticipated so far. Pretty sure it will sell out today given the response from yesterday. All 3 hats are rad, fully custom and Made in USA.

I also worked with my friend Rich at DSPTCH on a fully custom backpack that has a pouch with straps to keep up to 10 slabs in, so hobby function with classic DSPTCH styling.
I am not at the show, but stop by and check out the goods.

From Nat Turner on X: So far, one of the highlights of the National for me is a shop owner coming by PSA to submit a 1998 Metal Universe Gem Masters 1/1 basketball card that a customer in his shop pulled out of a pack last week. Easily a $20k+ card that hadn't seen the light of day in 25+ years.

Wish Nat included the picture. Wonder what it’ll grade? Really cool that so many amazing cards are still hidden in old packs.

Smart activation from @PSAcard. Grading can be a frustrating, confusing process, so tips from their team should be super helpful. I’m going to try and check this out.

Our second year in a row working with KITH, this time with a comic in the mix. Ronnie took to IG today to show the project. We will have some stuff on display at SDCC, so if you're around, come check out the goods firsthand.

What is everyone's thoughts on crossover grading? Just got back a Max Scherzer rookie card from PSA that's a 9 after sending a bunch of my better cards to SGC at The National last year when they had a special promotion. Thought it made sense to see what the grades come back as at a discount before seeing if it was worth sending to PSA for a more legit evaluation. Did I go about it the right way or should I have just sent everything to PSA first?
