@CardsBoulevard Yikes! But i can't blame the market. Soto is just not in the GOAT conversations anymore like he once was.

I think we're at the ceiling for this dude.

@onemillioncubs After watching his MVP season this year, I'm sold on PCA. Frontal lobe fully formed PCA starting next year.

Perhaps we see a perennial MVP candidate for the next 5 years.

@DomCardboard Love that Tom Brady card!

@MechaNick72 @CardPurchaser Exactly right!

Bidding starts at $250,000 on Oct 5, 2026 at @GoldinCo for the PSA 8 Pop 8 tournament Pikachu.

This was the first major tournament ever held for Pokemon TCG in 1997.

A piece of history. A true relic of the hobby.

@powerpacks 5k per pull is just absolute craziness! That's one hell of a pull. Well done.

@MrLucas1x @Fanatics @MLBPA 100% facts. Frivolous lawsuit. Glad it was dismissed.

[CardWire @CardWire_]

A federal judge dismissed Jones v. @Fanatics on Tuesday, a 13-count class action by collectors against Fanatics, the leagues and the @MLBPA. Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain ruled that the 18 named plaintiffs had not shown the licenses harmed them personally.

None had named the cards they bought, the prices they paid, or where they bought them. The court did not decide whether the exclusive licenses break antitrust law.

@PaniniAmerica's own antitrust suit against Fanatics, before the same judge, is still open.

A @PatrickMahomes Garbage Pail Kids card from 2026 Bowman Football set sold for $5,400 USD on eBay Wednesday morning. The seller took a best offer against a $7,000 USD ask.

A @JoshAllenQB "Arctic Allen" from the same insert sold for $2,800 USD on Tuesday evening, also on a best offer.

Both cards were ungraded.

@MYOHMYCards @CardVaultTB TIL that Tom Brady was drafted to the MLB.

@BleacherReport Ever since his rookie days on the Lakers, something was never quite right with Russell's attitude and effort. He was immensely talented and skilled.. but it takes more than just talent to stick around in the NBA past 30.

RIP Russell Rookie Cards.

@RaiderJay00 I like them a lot. Appreciate @Topps for going in depth on the creative direction. Taking inspiration from @MHAOfficial and creating an entirely new insert that I think will be highly sought after.

Perfect timing to watch PCA against the Padres in the Wild Card game. 7th ever to join the 40/40 club.

This is a special card.

These new #starwars cards are looking amazing.

Huge shoutout to Christian Waggoner & Mike Stephens. Masters in their craft.

Topps is leaning in heavy into anime culture. MLB has been leading the way, but expect more Anime crossovers in every sport very soon.
