The sports card market is moving FAST — and this week we're seeing two completely different stories.

🔥 90s basketball legends are taking off. Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant and other stars are seeing major movement as collectors begin looking beyond Michael Jordan and toward what we're calling the “second-tier GOAT” boom. Is this the beginning of a much bigger run for 1990s basketball cards?

📉 Meanwhile, one of the biggest cards in the non-sport boom has taken a stunning hit. The Spider-Man first appearance card has seen some grades fall dramatically in a matter of weeks. Is this simply one overheated card correcting, or could it be an early warning sign for the non-sport card market?

We also break down the massive Pete Crow-Armstrong MLB Debut Patch sale and compare it with the multimillion-dollar debut patch market. Did PCA's card sell too low — and are collectors paying too much for modern 1/1 debut patches?

Plus, we tackle your questions about altered and trimmed vintage cards, crossover grading, SGC, COMC, eye appeal premiums, and more.
