PSA Grading Backlog Hits 6-Month Mark

Patience, young padawan, for the PSA queue is strong in this one—six-month wait times in some cases. Perfect opportunity to rewatch The Mandalorian and forget you even sent those cards!

Blue 22 Take: Do not let this detour you from sending in cards as PSA is still the leader in grading and resell. But, if resell isn't part of your game, might be time to consider other grading companies with quicker turnaround times like SGC.

🚨 Holy Grail Alert! 🚨
Grandpa’s attic just paid off! A T-206 Honus Wagner found in perfect shape is now a $2.7 million legend. 😲

Why it’s wild:
- Only about 50–60 of these cards still exist.
- This one had zero creases—museum-level pristine.
- Proof that great things come to those who dig…literally. 🏠🔦

Blue 22 Take: If you ever miss baseball season, just remember: the real action’s in your own attic. Dust off that box and thank your grandma for the storage. 😉

Some nice cards for the personal collection picked up at the card show today!
