I think he was doom and glooming the economy instead of the hobby. Which of course, has a direct effect on the hobby.

I would tend to agree however it doesn’t seem to stop the bidders in REA ML and Heritage. I tend to think the buyers in those platforms are white-collar where the economy affects them to a lesser extent. The trickle-down effect is that middle-grade collectors and lower-grade collectors they are affected by the US economy because for the most part, they’re blue-collar. Auction houses talking about the big cards like the person who spent 300,000 on that 1952SGC5 Mickey Mantle are white-collar.

Can someone sum up the price drops?

card graders were 'hailed as heroes' during the pandemic??

I found it interesting and video tried to relay much more than just a price drop. He came across as being honest and motivated - Don Quixote with PSA being the windmill kind of thing.

I do agree with everyone regarding the darkness, too bad he couldn't afford the proper lighting. Typically we associate with good news with lights, music, ballons, happiness. Presenting good news in darkness doesn't quite set the atmosphere.

I have a lot of respect for SGC and their grading. I did turn to them when PSA shut down and they will continue to receive some of my submissions. I TOTALLY agree they should be marketing the Mantle.

Much like how people check Facebook every day, I used to go to the registry every day to see new additions, rankings, and read the message board.
