Six years ago today, I partnered with PSA as the company announced its appraisal service. Every collector asks the same question: what’s it worth? I’ve been answering it ever since.

Grading and appraisal used to be two separate stops. Now they live under one roof.

Thank you to PSA, and to every collector who’s trusted me with their collection.

My client was about to sell these four vintage cards raw. He figured a couple hundred bucks each. Graded by PSA, they’re worth $5,450 together.

Get it appraised before you sell. Link in bio.
