The CardFather

all wrapped up 🙌🏼 Had a great time networking with some new vendors and collectors, meeting influencers, some great deals, and a crazy weekend of draft day festivities! Epic weekend to say the least

First was a success and thankful I was finally able to cross it off the bucket list! 🙌🏼 was able to meet a lot of people in the industry, make some deals, and gain some new experience. Rounded out with a couple of pickups from the show

Thank you to the wife and fam for the constant support and tagging along for a long few days 😅 excited to see how Chicago compares and if service and/or internet can be anymore abysmal 😂

Pittsburgh 500 did not disappoint! Pittsburgh Card Show put on another great event with massive turn out, enough to run out of parking completely in an entire mall complex 😳

Was able to make a lot more purchases at my table thankfully as I still never got to walk around, with some cards getting listed here shortly. Watched the Yankees sweep and as icing on the cake, got to touch and smell The Capitan, aka the 🐐, Derek Jeter, sweat from his game used arm band 🫠🥹.

As a bonus, came home to a crazy surprise from the wife and looks like I’ll be going to my first ever The National Sports Collectors Convention Inc. this summer 😭🙏🏼

Had a few subs all pop about the same time, 85 in total. Really impressed with turnaround times, especially for the value bulk and member specials. Everything arrived 02/22 and received my last submission at my door 04/01. 5 week turn around on a special is just unheard of. Not mad at all 🤗

Few of my favorites from this submission, but had plenty of more heat. Hopefully will get new stuff up sometime this week.

Only a week late posting, but first spring show from the was a success! First time vending at the location and super solid turn out for just a Sunday show. Saw some old faces, made some new connections, and managed to get a few deals done at the table. (Last slide)

One of these shows I’ll finally be able to walk around and shop like a normal collector 😬 as always, couldn’t do this without the fams support everytime 🙏🏼

Little overview on how 2023 treated me. Had about a submission a month on avg with about the same amount of time on turn around which is crazy to think about because it rarely felt like that at times.

Remove three or four of these bad submissions and the grading numbers wouldn’t look as bad but I guess thats part of the gamble.

Goals for 2024 are to hopefully be closer to the 70%+ to 90%+ club 🗒️ for whatever reason, still enjoy doing submissions regardless of the grades and may consider opening up to group grading in the near future if anyone is interested.

🚨🚨 BREAKING!! PSA acquiring SGC 😳🤯 did not see that coming in 2024. SGC has been able to make a name for themselves over the last few years and seemed to have beat out Beckett for the 2 spot in popularity in recent sports subs at least.

Wonder if this means the Florida office will be used by PSA now or if SGC is still ran as a separate entity and PSA plans to use them for special, cheaper promos for lower end cards🤔

Some quick updates eBay plans to roll out soon. Only complaint; they have enough sellers, lowering fees a smidge would make them a lifesaver but we all know they don’t need to and won’t.

Unrelated, shoutout to my brother at for the scoop on how these posts 🙌🏼 there is more than one way to invest and they really hold the keys to the secrets over there 👀

Was able to finally get this set completed, with the Rip exclusive, right in time for them to drop 1883 set 😑😅 hate how addicting these are but some sets you just can’t pass up 🤠

Almost 50 new graded slabs added overnight on 5 day auction starting at $4.99! Variety of options across all sports. Hoping to get at least another 100 or so posted before the weekend.
