🚨 $1,000,000+ in PSA graded cards STOLEN, Shohei Ohtani rookie cards dropping in value, and counterfeit PSA slabs showing up at card shows! The sports card hobby has some major stories to discuss this week!

Welcome back to the Collector Investor Podcast! Jeremy (The Texas Snowman), Chris, and Thor break down some of the biggest controversies and questions facing sports card collectors, dealers, and investors.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:

🚨 PSA / FedEx Card Theft – A FedEx vehicle transporting PSA submissions was reportedly burglarized, with one collector reporting more than $1,000,000 in stolen cards. Who is responsible, how will collectors be compensated, and should high-value graded cards receive better shipping security?

📉 Shohei Ohtani Card Market CRASH? – Some popular Ohtani rookie cards have dropped roughly 25–33% in the charts discussed. Is this the time to buy the dip, sell before prices fall further, or hold until baseball season returns? We discuss PSA populations, supply, demand, and long-term investment strategies.

⚠️ FAKE PSA SLABS at Card Shows! – Counterfeit-style PSA holders and proxy cards are appearing at dealer tables. Even when disclosed, should these products be allowed at shows? We discuss the risks to collectors and the importance of protecting the hobby.

⚾ $100,000 MICKEY MANTLE DRAFT! – Jeremy and Chris go head-to-head building their ultimate $100K Mickey Mantle collections! With vintage rookies, rare food issues, high-grade cards, and autographs available, who makes the smarter investment picks?

💰 COLLECTOR INVESTOR AUCTIONS UPDATE: We also discuss major upcoming consignments, including an impressive 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan sticker PSA 10, a potential 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle consignment, and our expanded auction facility.
