Notes: ESPN on Grading; Talking Babe-o-Bilia; NBA Top Shot Guy vs. Topps, More

April 15, 2021 By Rich Mueller

When hundreds of thousands of cards are arriving every week, it's easy to understand why PSA needed to call timeout.  The company's recent decision to pause most lower cost authentication and grading work until it can made some headway on a massive backlog of orders means bulk submitters are largely either on the sidelines or utilizing the services of another … [Read more...]
