Sports Card Investor

PSA’s new grading tier arrives with 9.9 million cards still backlogged, raising big questions about what comes next for collectors. We debate whether today’s sports card market is built to last, Panini’s push into Sonic and Zelda trading cards, and CGC’s partnership with EB Games Canada.

A postal worker in Nebraska was arrested for stealing $46,000 in sports cards from the mail, including a rare Victor Wembanyama and Tom Brady Kaboom. In this episode, we debate whether it's still safe to mail high-end cards, react to SGC tripling its grading prices, and discuss the mind-blowing $20,000 sale of a Seattle Mariners promotional raccoon card.

The sports card market is seeing massive shifts in 2026, and we are breaking down exactly what these numbers mean for the hobby. We start by analyzing the colossal print run for the highly anticipated 2026 Topps Flagship Football. With an estimated 592 million cards hitting the market making it the largest release since the infamous junk wax era—we debate whether this level of retail accessibility is a win for collectors or a sign that Fanatics is flooding the market.

We also dive into the current PSA grading backlog, which continues to hover near 11 million cards. With PSA officially slowing their Regular service turnaround times from 30-40 business days to a sluggish 70-80 business days, we discuss what this means for submitters and if the suspended Value tiers have any chance of returning in 2026.

Plus, the pop culture and entertainment card market is on an absolute tear. We discuss the record-breaking $175,100 sale of a 1966 Marvel Heroes Spider-Man PSA 9, alongside major surges for Disney, Star Wars Galaxy Chrome refractors, and vintage Simpsons cards. Finally, we analyze the staggering $686,250 sale of the Shohei Ohtani 50/50 Topps NOW 1/1—and whether the addition of an MBA eye appeal sticker on a modern 1/1 PSA 10 actually influenced the final auction price.
