Wow I've never seen you this enraged before but you have every right to be. Come over to the dark side (SGC) where you will be graded fairly then undervalued smh. ...and for your newer viewers Razor-Blazer: An emaculate looking trading card. Especially referring to the sharp-ness of the corners and pristine surface.

Wow. Id almost crack the bigger ones and resend. Looks like you maybe got the "new grader"?

Superb work as per usual! Great information and commentary.👍

I don't mind the 1st Bowman's of old players, but as long as they keep it SSP. It doesn't spoil anything about the product and nothing wrong with a little fun chase. I much prefer the 1st Bowman Autos of Retired players though. Again, only if they keep it rare. Maybe 1-2 players a year and everything low numbered.

It was nice meeting you today. I bought the schoolboy Rowe and vida blue rookie. Hope you had a good day.

I can't say recutting a hand cut card is wrong, but it also doesn't feel right.

Maybe it’s growing cause it’s an un regulated market lol

I would like to see if anyone can find an example of a numbered card being graded so many more times than what should exist like the Brady. I do not have research but I thought that a normal expectation was that around 50 % of the ones created are graded according to counts. Expect some (10% ?) are regrades. The rest are lost in shoeboxes or still in wax. That Brady feels like someone else suggested here in the comments - there were more than 1250 printed

Love your videos on strange anomalies.

I think that PSA starts every card at a four. That is the starting point

Stop sending cards to PSA.

Very interesting information!

Andrew McCutchen just became the 8th player in MLB history to have at least 2,000 hits, 400 doubles, 50 triples, 1,000 rbi, 200 sb, 1,000 BB and 1,000 runs scored. He joins Mays, Aaron, Frank Robinson, Brett, Winfield, Barry Bonds and Beltran.

Love hearing your Analysis. Always learn something new on your channel. Have a great weekend, my friend 🤙🏽

It is time to resubmit to SGC...

Interesting stuff really enjoyed these insights! The brady example is hilarious and I do often wonder how to best assume "real pops" for graded cards. Apply a 90% factor on the pop report to account for resubs? 80%? Should exclude psa 10s from that adjustment as well. And every card certainly has different "crack and resub" rates.

Imagine paying for and owning a 10-grade, numbered Tom Brady RC and now realizing there's a possibility it's fake. Ouch. As far as the volume of grading going on right now, I think slabs are becoming the new top-loader. I mean, collections do look nicer in these slabs. And they work great for a card. You can still see the entire thing, unlike comic books and video games where you're restricted to just the cover and box. You can't read the story or play the game. That kind of sucks.

Go to analysis. Nice to hear your outlook has improved on the overall hobby participation. If only PSA could grade a bit more consistently! See you at the National next month!

Grading companies need to start doing a better job of tracking individual serial numbers.

With the Brady, another factor is that there are certainly some number of them that haven't even been released from a pack. They're sitting in sealed boxes. Figure that out of the 1,250 total, around 5%-10% are still in packs, if not even more. So it is more likely that the 1,700+ times it was graded was spread out over 1,125 or less copies.

Absolutely insane to see how many Wemby cards have been graded in such a short time! And who knows long term how that will affect his values with there being so many cards available of his and in such high grade.

The topps sterling slaughter thing is because it's an auction, and the only people who saw it in the short period it was up only wanted the slaughter. As a buy it now they both would have sold around the same. That's why you should never sell at auction

SGC.

Another great video. With regards to the 1965 psa 9s,I do echo the cub fan effect, but definitely wouldn’t have thought 8-9x worth. I do agree with your take, two people might have needed it and a bidding war ensued.

You missed a third option on the brady. Theycould have printed more than 1250, double printed?

Hi Chris. This was an interesting video. I wonder how much those Wemby cards will be worth in 20 years.

The PSA set registry also has team sets, player runs, HOF rookie runs etc. I use it for my Tigers team sets, one is #3 currently. Really tough competition when you see the top sets with almost all PSA 10.

Wow crazy Wemby grading stats I know what I will be staying away from in the future.

Thanks for answering my question! Evan

I’m slabbing and selling every Victor I hit. So this data is telling me I’m not alone and I personally think a huge crash could be coming. There aren’t that many collectors taking these cards out of circulation

Junk wax 2.0, and junk slab both fit the current era in the hobby.

The Brady could, also, be a card that could be cracked and altered (trimmed, pressed, etc.) and re subbed, just with the borderless front and seemingly 'random' design.

Why does the new auction house want 2 references?

The Wemby situation is insane. Idk how his raw card is still $40 and his psa10s are averaging $140 when there's so many in circulation. I know the rookie class sucked and he was the only gem, but I don't understand why people are willingly paying so much when the card is so common.

Great video, as always. Thought provoking stuff.

Thank you for doing the grading pop investigation, I have been wanting this shown for a long time, that the number of grading attempts exceeds the actual print run of a card. Shows the inaccuracy of pop counts.

ReL 1965 Slaughter. There were only 2 bidders that went beyond $83. If the item was paid for then, it looks like indeed there was a battle between two set registry guys for this card. The last one sold on ebay was about 2 years ago, for $45.75. At 20x that, it is not exactly a great financial investment.

Regarding the Tom Brady card - is it possible to visually check each one graded at PSA and determine how many of each serial number have been graded? It would be interesting to see a log of all of these cards with the card serial number and PSA serial number. Then we might know what cards have not been graded by PSA and which ones multiple times.I suspect this kind of log would be impossible to compile for Beckett.

In the late 1980's and early 1990's, Ken Griffey Jr. cards and unopened wax boxes were "great investments" and people who didn't know anything about cards (or sports) bought them thinking this will eventually put kids through colleges. I have an antique kiosk near by and there are 2 cabinets FULL of worthless (not the rare ones) Griffey cards and another cabinet full of unopened 1987 through 1989 wax boxes. Wemby will end up in these cabinets in the future because people who don't buy cards or watch sports are being told that his cards are "great investments".

Rookies and stars should be way more desirable. Full Pats uniform and /1000, compared to practice jersey and /1250

Since there are no parallels, what makes Brady’s SP Authentic “base”?

Def in a junk slab era. Everyone getting base rookies graded 100s of times and many end up like Kyle Lewis, Gavin Lux etc. Just dumb

wow, I actually have the Sterling Slaughter,. got it in a purchase years ago.

Sterling Slaughter, played in 6 games. Has a career WAR of -0.3. It could be the PSA set registry. Or the card was bought by Sterling. It would at least make for a pretty cool story to tell his grandkids.

You know a card is mass produced when you go to a 400+ table card show and see Wemby cards in EVERY showcase! I have seen them in vintage cases, pokemon cases, and in soccer and ufc cases. Some cases would have 1 Lebron , 1 Shai, 1 Luka, and 50 Wemby cards!

All you need is 2 people that really want that card.

Shaq has 6,220 cards in 30+ years. Even if he only had cards produced in 20 of those years, that's an average 331 cards a year. In one year Wemby has had 1,136 cards created, nearly 4x. Even when comparing the current era to the junk wax era, the production counts have skyrocketed. I'd be curious of the number of cards created in the last year for Giannis & Curry comprared to their early years to see how many more cards are be being produced for them compared to their early years.

I know very little about the PSA set registry, but had a question: Are all of those records publicly available? Meaning, would there be a way to see which specific cards set builders are mostly in need of versus don’t need (for any given set)?

Wemby was also the ONLY rookie from this class worth grading too. That probably helped a small amount, he was the only guy to chase.

Sterling is sergeant’s cousin
