    In this episode, we dive into the current state of the sports card hobby, starting with NBA playoff reactions, the Sixers, Yankees talk, and Star Wars Day before getting into one of the biggest debates in collecting right now: PSA grading, upcharges, and whether collectors are finally pushing back against the company. We break down PSA Vault, eBay sales, grading ethics, and controversial auction practices, along with the rumor of GameStop potentially buying eBay and what that could mean for the hobby. The conversation shifts into vintage card ripping with 1986 Fleer basketball, Michael Jordan rookie card values, massive Exquisite pulls, and celebrity autos like Tony Hawk. We also review Topps Cosmic Chrome NBA, discuss huge LeBron and Curry sales, shill bidding concerns, and whether PSA 9s are still profitable. Later in the episode, we cover WNBA White Sparkles, Fanatics influencing SSP markets, coin flips at card shows, the reality of making money in sports cards, athletes damaging signed cards, and how centering and gem rates continue to impact the market.
