/ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
PSA just dropped a bombshell on the hobby...and the entire sports card industry may feel the impact for months to come.
In this episode of Sports Cards & A Cup of Joe, Joe Davis breaks down PSA’s shocking decision to suspend all lower-level grading services as their backlog approaches a staggering 10 million cards. What does this mean for collectors, investors, flippers, and the future of grading?
Joe dives into the ripple effects across the hobby, from rising demand for existing slabs to the potential impact on wax ripping, Pokémon and TCG submissions, and competing grading companies like SGC, BGS, and CGC. Plus, hear insider perspective from the front lines as submission teams scramble to beat the cutoff deadline.
Is this a disaster for collectors… or a hidden opportunity?
Whether you’re sitting on a stack of raw cards, waiting on PSA orders, or wondering what happens next for the hobby, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
