Someone posted this on Blowout. Thought it might be something cool for @Miggs since he's a Raptors fan:

Process of sending to PSA is relatively easy and there are YT tutorials that take you throught it..The real issue right now is PSA is backed up and over charging like a mufukka unless you have a membership...I have held onto a sub for a month because i was going thru a card store bulk submission and even they have upped there prices signifigantly per card :dry:

PSA for a big company and a so called industry leader is so rinky dink...

I'd never pay $669 for it but this is so fire :whoo: I gotta stick with my Bas Rutten base auto until I can get my hands on one of these for way less some day.

I can't stomach sticker autos. Great card design like that needs an on-card auto. Is there money in UFC/Boxing/Wrestling cards? I don't follow them at all.

Personally, I don't mind sticker autos as long as they don't run-off. I never understood why people would care if the athlete handled the card if it's a manufacturer's auto and it's not like you're meeting them either way. :manny: I get it if people prefer it visually, but I like how it highlights the signature on some cards (like the 2015 UFC Topps Chronicles set).

It depends on how well the fighter's currently doing. I just sold my Khabib and Adesanya base autos for $400 combined (paid $45 each for them originally).

The "1st Auto" label also plays a big role since it's the equivalent of a rookie.

I could be wrong, but I think it’s really only 2nd year Luka and 2nd year Laker Lebron that had any market this 19-20 season. Besides the rookie class, obviously.

People felt they got priced out of 18-19 Luka and Lebron so they chased these sophomore cards.

Only helps your valuation if you’re holding 18-19 of them :takedat:

Second year Giannis cards saw a spike too; same with Kobe. Think Curry would have as well if 2010-11 wasn't the WOAT year for cards. Second year KD stuff is probably smart to take a flyer on if you think he's gonna come back and dominate.

I don't buy into the base bullshyt long-term but if you have any sell and take that profit.

@Regular_P I wann ask you this again because i have a sub bulk going out maybe next week.

DO you wipe down ALL raw cards you receive and re apply penny sleeves and savers....I have done it with cards in 1 touch holders because its no sleeve,but i dont think over handling cards is a good idea...I have a grip of newer cards that came straight our of boxes and im hesitant to go thru this process with the higher value ones...

I found a George Foreman Leaf Pearl Auto, but it's in Japan and the DHL shipping alone would cost $130 :unimpressed:

I look everything over before sending it out. If you look the card over and think it looks clean, there's no need to wipe it. I'll swap out penny sleeves if the one it was sent in was dirty.

For what it's worth, it seems like PSA is getting stricter lately with the overwhelming amount of cards being sent in.
