Iconic Tracker Tool by Gemrate Yields Surprising Data On Just How Many Iconic Cards Submitted for Grading Monthly; Reacting to Reported 21% Fake Michael Jordan Fleer Cards Submitted to PSA in 2023
Cards To The MoonAbout this episode
EPISODE 180 - Clark and John open the show by reacting to Collectors CEO Nat Turner's recent social media post about 2,000+ Michael Jordan 1986 Fleer rookie cards being submitted to PSA with 21% having been deemed fake. Will that have any impact on the overall value of this iconic basketball card moving forward with (a) the number of submissions each year, and (b) potential fakes slipping through the grading system? Then for Hobby Headlines, the guys explore the new Iconic Tracker tool by gemrate.com, which keeps track of how many of the top 100 sports cards are submitted to the major grading companies on a monthly basis. They go over eight such cards to see if they're surprised by the number of submissions as well as if there are anything to be learned from the data. NOTE: The rest of the show was not recorded for some reason hence the shorter Tuesday episode. The "Pick 1" segment teased on last Friday's episode will be re-recorded next week! -------------------------- CONNECT WITH US!
