I'm in the cashier line at Wal-Mart, to my right is a sports card display, and...

I noticed a Topps display, selling a graded football star card.

It showed a picture of a slab called Mint. The package guaranteed to contain a 9 or a 10.

Is Topps in the card grading business? Ever hear of their grading company called Mint?

BTW, the graded football cards were selling for $9.95 per packet!

P.S. Happy New Year!

Topps and PSA just struck a deal where the cards get shipped directly to PSA for grading and then into packs. We are going to be opening packs with the cards already graded.

Just Kidding! Maybe, you never know.

Guess what? That is exactly what I saw and is being sold at Wal-Mart, except the grading compnay was not PSA, it was a company named "Mint".

Is this what you saw?? If so, they've changed their flip to white with gold trim. They're based out of Florida, and will give you whatever grade you want. Here's their website.

I don't think this is a Topps product, as such, but rather an after market packaging designed to make you think it's a Topps product?

Just a guess.
