    1952 Mantle Sells For $12.6 Million

    I knew that it was going to auction and expected that it would sell for a record amount. The first news article I read post auction though was something like “dig out your cards from your childhood, they could be worth 8 figures!” Awesome way to click bait. Now we will see tons of re prints...

    Beckett Announces Vault Service

    I am sorry, I would still just rather be able to hold my cards in hand. To me. what is the point of owning them if you do not "own" them? What is the old saying? Possession is 9/10 of the law.

    Olivia Newton-John

    I never new knew (but was not surprised to learn of) a Grease movie card set. Interesting (and a little sad) to see renewed interest in this set and people trying to make money off of her passing. The same can be said with Star Wars cards after Carrie Fischer passing though.

    Card authentication.

    I have read and seen personally many times where a 10 year old is really excited to bring his “valuable” card into a game store just to be told it is worthless counterfeit. This seems to be happening more and more in the TCG world. It is one thing for a person to fake a card and try to swindle...

Hockey cards are consistently the number 6-8...

I am thinking of Matt Stafford and Russell Wilson specifically. Stafford after his SB win of course. Does it matter to collectors that their RC...

    Jordan no longer #1 among collectors?

    Listening to some podcasts and reading some hobby reports and articles, Ja , Luca, and even Zion despite his injuries, are all gaining in terms of numbers of cards submitted for grading. Recently they are equal to if not surpassed Jordan in Rees of grading submissions any given month. Is Jordan...

    We Must Get Kids Back in The Hobby! Here's Why!

    Great read! I have been saying this for years! I fondly remember riding my bike to the corner store and spend my allowance on 1984 Topps, Donruss and Fleer. I was the envy of my friends when I was the first to pull a Don Mattingly! I put 25 common bulk cards in team bags and give out at...
