And with that, I am out of the grading game.

In tough economic times I don’t want hard assets I want something that is stable with easy liquidity. It’s my view that cards aren’t as easily liquidated as some may think.

It’s in my opinion that the past several years of QT and zero interest rates is what brought many investors to put a portion of their monies for investments into high grade vintage stars.

I can't believe someone hasn't produced packs with the cards already slabbed and graded when you open the pack .

That was done around 2000 for football cards

I think the blue denotes an autographed card.

They have in the past. Topps and Leaf have both released boxes containing already graded cards. It's not very common, but it probably will come back stronger under Fanatics owning Topps.
Plus, Fanatics is going to move a lot more of their product by breakers who will submit your cards to CSG automatically to be stored in a vault or auctioned off once graded.
