We've seen a significant surge in submissions following our announcement of an additional $200 million investment in PSA infrastructure and services. That increase has pushed our active queue to nearly 10 million cards.
To help protect the submissions already in our care, PSA is temporarily pausing new submissions for all Value service tiers, effective Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at 3:00 pm PT.
For more detail on what's changing, which service levels remain open, and when each Value tier reopens, read our full announcement. https://t.co/Ebvj3aQY1W
@jakeformayor@joelaremagic WoTC has the numbers in hand and they disagree. They love money too much to be wrong. Part of the reason the in universe sets are doing so well is they are more scarce, so their audience gets hungrier. It's working whether we like it or not.
Lol, #mtgsos isn't a gangbusters set because it has strong IP. It's selling out because it has an incredible set of premium cards in the mystical archives. The set narrative is both weak and derivative. #magicthegathering
- Lorwyn Eclipsed broke records as the best selling premier set ever
- Secrets of Strixhaven shattered that record already
maybe we could trust our internal IP a bit more?
HUGE shoutout to Mike for taking all this down, check out the full notes here, tons of good stuff:
@jakeformayor Lorwyn is a far more popular plane than Strixhaven, and all of EOE, ECL and SOS have been well designed sets, with strong new staple offerings AND premium subsets. My point is simple: there is room for both core and UB sets, and WOTC sees it in the bottom line.
@kapoano Yeah, that's the thing. The folks after classic fantasy vibes have every right, but there is no denying that using the game as an IP platform has been the smart move. It all sells. Let's see how Marvel plays out next month.
@kapoano It is, that's just not why it's popular. LTR/Avatar/TMNT aren't even that far off the in universe concepts given how far afield they've run over the years due to the need for novel planes.
@joelaremagic Mystical Archives aren't popular bc they are "magic", they are popular bc of top tier art + fantastic card selection. Collectors want them bc of their hand/deck appeal. As for UB, @Wizards keeps explaining that it's popular but the haters can't accept that it's growing the game

Pro Tour prizing is increasingly lagging behind the cost to attend. Ken is spending $2400 for flight and hotel. He's have to finish in the Top 28 to cover that (based on the prize structure for Las Vegas). #mtg
card stores in Japan have seen insane levels of traffic over the past 2 years, making the "Collectors Pilgrimage" a shell of its former self
wild prices and poorer condition cards...how sustainable is vendor culture? or is Pokemon well and truly a rich persons play thing now?
If you're selling top SOS Silver Scrolls, I'm buying between buylist and market (Vampiric Tutor, Cyclonic Rift, Jeska's Will, Akroma's Will, Crop Rotation, Ad Naus). Hit me up. No shenanigans please and thanks. #magicthegathering
We had a customer bring these @PSAcard graded cards to the booth - neither of these are legitimate Wizards of the Coast Magic cards.
If legitimate, we would have valued them at $10,000 each.
Magic Con Las Vegas most wanted at https://t.co/mPNRcAzLM3
These offers are valid ONLY at Magic Con Las Vegas this weekend - stop by the booth, we’re buying basically everything.
🚨 Ontario hospitals slashing jobs as nearly 75% run massive deficits.
• Ottawa Hospital: 400 positions cut (3%)
• London: 200+ nurses axed
• Cuts hitting across the province
Patients already waiting 16+ hours in ERs.
Ford gave $1.1B and
hospitals wanted double. Priorities are clearly elsewhere. Audits need to be done, executives & bonuses need to be cut.
This is your healthcare system collapsing.
Gloucester/Ottawa your hospital is next.
RT if you’re furious. Tag your MPP.
