Overall grading activity was ⬇ 17% in November compared to October and ⬆ 35% YoY. On a per business day basis, grading activity was ⬆ 1% compared to October. Grading activity totaled 2.23 million cards in November, down ~470k compared to October. PSA graded 1.66m cards - ⬇ 16% vs October, ⬆ 31% YoY. CGC graded 425k cards - ⬇ 20% vs October, ⬆ 95% YoY. Beckett graded 74k cards - ⬇ 21% vs October, ⬆ 116% YoY. TAG graded 39k cards - ⬇ 22% vs October, ⬆ 203% YoY. SGC graded 35k cards - ⬇ 30% vs October, ⬇ 72% YoY. What's Next for PSA? If not for fewer business days, PSA's grading volume in November would have looked very similar to October. That said, PSA continues to manage high demand even as it expands its operations. Turnaround times increased modestly in November, and there are no indications of meaningful holiday specials on the horizon. With one month remaining in 2025, PSA has made a number of improvements across the collector experience; however, collectors who prioritize pricing and turnaround times may end the year feeling frustrated. Looking ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be another exercise in threading the needle between continued expansion and maintaining the support of its core base. What's Next for SGC? SGC’s grading activity declined more than its peers in November, with vintage baseball representing the bulk of its current volume. This dynamic appears likely to remain in place for the foreseeable future. What's Next for CGC? CGC’s sports activity pulled back in November, while TCG momentum remained strong. As we close the year, continued experimentation with promotions and partnerships has helped position CGC with meaningful hobby momentum. What's Next for Beckett? Beckett’s momentum remained strong exiting November. However, some nuance is needed when interpreting the results, as a portion of October’s grading activity was reflected in November’s pop report updates. This timing shift means an already strong October was slightly understated and November somewhat overstated. That said, while 2025 results are encouraging, Beckett will need to further build on this progress to keep momentum moving in the right direction. |

Pokemon Pokemon Pokemon …I wonder as well How many of the items counted are those sent from eBay to PSA for authenticity verification, wonder if that counts to their numbers?

There is a finite number of vintage baseball cards still in raw form, and many fewer in the kind of condition worth grading and even fewer in the hands of collectors wanting them graded.
Logic says that SGC might grade fewer cards every year than the previous year if that's the bulk of what they receive. I don't want that to be true. But CU isn't likely to keep them operating just for us. Especially because they haven't seemed inclined to listen to the requests of our ilk. Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk |

The big concern I have for SGC and vintage is what is their stock of assorted holders and what happens when time thins that stock. Will they go toward more universal holders or some other not-quite-snug fit?

Very valid concern, right there... If they eventually migrate to PSA's sloppy "crumpled baggie" look, I'll be out for good. I just hope CGC is paying attention!
