Deeper Dive Into 2026 Topps Series 1 Baseball Release (ie. 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Redemption Card Is Cool; Home Field Advantage Design Is Not Cool); PSA Raising Prices Justified?
/ FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE
/ ABOUT THIS EPISODE
EPISODE 349 - Clark and Hyung open the show by giving their two cents on PSA recently raising its prices (again) with slower turnaround times – with TCG bulk submissions the most impacted this time around. Is it a necessary business decision for PSA or is the hobby community justified in its anger?
Next for Hobby Headlines, the guys take a deeper dive into the 2026 Topps Series 1 Baseball Set and go through what's new in the set this year (ie. a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle redemption hit) and what they don't like (ie. the new Home Field Advantage design.)
Then they play a fun round of Quiz Show before ending the episode with their regular weekly segment called "Pick 1."
