@rohan_connolly It was only 3 years ago that Sicily would have been Hawthorn's only AFL Top 70 player and only AFL Store bobblehead option. Jiath was seen as a possible star. Was not a team best 18 player in 2025. Things can change quickly.
@dpeck100 Higher grading prices results in getting less cards graded or spending less money on actual cards in order to fund the higher grading fees. Collectors are addicted to grading cards, so will still pay a slight increase. Hard to change grading companies because of uniformity.
@dpeck100 How PSA has not worked out a better system to cater for demand is beyond me. If this price rise doesn't slow demand, then what, keep continuing to raise prices? This level of grading prices starts to eliminate collectors grading sets for the set registry.
@William26494195 @dngleberryberet I'd say it is a gold. Best viewed not in a top loader and penny sleeve. Side by side and right light it is usually quite clear if one is gold.
@WrestlingTradi2 I might be the only one who thinks inscriptions on a small trading card are unappealing. The card is busy enough without adding an inscription.
@HawkTalkPod I want to be awake as long as possible to enjoy the post game celebrations after a Grand Final win, not falling asleep. Let alone the impact a night GF has on kids.
@SCUncensored@NickkyyP People need to stop buying cards with lousy signatures. It's the only way things will change. I can safely say that if Seth Rollins is released from WWE and is at a paid signing like Wrestlecon, he's not signing SR, he's signing Seth Rollins.
@NickkyyP@SCUncensored As a customer, it matters to me if they have a good signature or not. I'll pay more for a good one, or won't as much for a bad one. I'm not alone.
