Episode #59
I looked at all 83 parallels of Victor Wembanyama's 2023 Prizm rookie and indexed every sale against his player market. The best returns did not come from the 1/1s. This episode is a thought dump on that, plus two...

Out of the 10 biggest names in 1952 Topps, only four beat the S&P 500 over 22 years. We pulled 9,720 real sales back to 2004, ran every PSA grade through three market cycles, and spoiler alert, the winner isn't the 1952...
Episode #56
PSA just halted all four of its value grading tiers. The hobby is calling it a failure. We're calling it something else. PSA just acted like a central bank. This episode breaks down why PSA controlling the supply of...
