A reported $8.7 million Victor Wembanyama rookie Logoman deal has the hobby talking—but what actually makes a sports card a grail? On Sports Cards Are Dope, Dr. Tyler Tarver breaks down licensing, card design, Michael Jordan’s legacy, and Wemby’s future. Money is no object: Wemby’s Mercury Logoman, his Prizm Black 1/1, or Cooper Flagg’s debut patch—which would you keep, and why? 👇 Subscribe if you want more honest sports card conversations. #SportsCards #Wembanyama #SportsCardsAreDope
One Cooper Flagg card sold for $8.04 million. Is it a piece of NBA history worth the price, or a massive bet on what happens next? I break down both sides of the sale, the Dylan Harper and Kon Knueppel results, and where I land as a collector. Which card would you choose?
You can now submit sports cards for PSA grading at participating Lids locations — but should you? I break down how PSA GO at Lids works, who I think should use it, the cards I wouldn't submit this way, and the biggest mistake collectors could make now that grading is becoming more convenient. Plus, why PSA moving into mainstream sports retail could have much bigger implications for the sports card hobby.
Sports card shops are changing. After visiting Tom Brady’s Card Vault in Austin, I started thinking about what happens when the traditional local card shop model meets corporate money, rapid expansion, fixed pricing, wax allocation, and investors. We’re breaking down Card Vault’s model, why negotiating gets harder at scale, the advantages local card shops still have, and what I’d do differently if I opened my own sports card shop.
PSA just launched a new $59.99 Standard grading tier while its cheaper Value options remain paused. On the surface, this could simply be PSA's next step toward reopening cheaper grading—but could it also be a test of what collectors are willing to pay? We break down PSA's new pricing, the massive grading backlog, what SGC's recent changes could tell us, and the biggest question: when PSA Value returns, will $20–$25 grading return with it?
