When will the SGC cards retain the same value as PSA? They still tend to be almost a point behind in value.

Graded, mostly top pops. We should discuss those prices here.

Re: What Constitutes Being A Loyal Fan?
And I do think Craig and Eric and Pats fans who wanted the number 1 pick are loyal, but it is a foreign concept to me to actually want my team to lose. And like I said that just comes down to not believing the top pick is near as important as everyone else.
Perk I wanted the Chiefs to win but even I’m not dumb enough to want the starters playing and risk injury.
Of course it doesn’t bother me that the Bengals didn’t get in and now a lot of their idiot fans think it’s the Chiefs fault instead of Cincy always sucking in September and October.

Re: What Constitutes Being A Loyal Fan?
To be fair my perspective seems to be completely different simply because I place no importance at all in getting the overall number 1 pick in the draft. I suppose it does come with more trade value but teams usually don’t trade it away anyway. How many times has the number 1 turned out to be the best player in his draft class? Joe Burrow maybe recently. Teams are always picking Trubisky before Mahomes, Blackledge before Marino, 198 players went before Brady.
If I thought the entire future of my team depended on getting the number 1 pick I guess I would feel like Craig, but being a Chiefs fan I’ve seen how the rise of this KC dynasty began. We have the absolute best GM in the business, Brett Veach, doing the picking in the draft. And now I come to something else I said to Craig and Eric that has proven to be true time and again…..
The person making your teams draft picks is far more important than the order of your picks.

Just staring at these back and forth up and down. Very tough.
Re: This is why I Love Set Collecting!
I love posts like this thank you for sharing.
So this guy had a lifetime 3.04 ERA yet barely could get any substantial time in the big leagues (considering his era) and didn’t even crack in until he was 27 years old.
Just goes to show you how hard it is to make it at that level and not only do you have to be so talented but you also have to have a little bit of luck and things need to break your way.

Re: Can PCGS TrueView Images be used in eBay listings?
I so rarely see any decent photos on EBay that I am pretty surprised if I don't have to look up the True View myself.
A lot of sellers use poor photos and seem lazy, I tend to avoid them.
Those types of sellers could probably sell more if they took the time to do better postings with actual TVs and nice photos.

Re: The Kansas City Chiefs are setting themselves up for a major collapse this upcoming season.
Maybe this should have been a 49’ers collapse thread instead of Chiefs.

Re: New to me: Trader Bea PCGS Holder

Gaudy gimmicky slabs just cheapen the brand.
Regardless of how you look at it, that ship has sailed. Trader Bea, Vaultbox, Ultrabreaks, Witter Bricks, First Strikes, autographs, NGCx, Bag Frags, white/black/red/green/blue/purple plastic inserts, oversized holders, etc. My "old guy gripe" is that with all of these "innovations," no one can seem to replicate the SEGS topside label where you can read what the coin is when stored. : )
