@JunkWaxHeroes I bought a stack of 50 of his 1989 Topps rookie cards when I was in high school.

Perhaps the most significant individual baseball card produced in 2024 meets the top end of our grading scale.

The Paul Skenes MLB Rookie Debut Patch Auto 1/1 is leaving our facilities with the coveted dual PSA 10.

Going to send most of my non-PC PSA slabs to them. In addition to the Offers possibility, I like the option of selling on @eBay when I want with @PSAcard as the consignor. I think max 16% total fees with no hassle of making a listing or shipping to eBay buyers.

A great new @PSAcard Vault feature!

I got three random Offers for cards I had in my vault account. PSA is making offers for in demand cards on behalf of partners. They were for 80% of @eBay last sale.
