  • Arrogant Mike ruins the fun

    It’s always amazing how guys with Napoleon complex like Mike Gio can ruin a show with their self-absorbed arrogance. Makes it 100 times worse that Mike’s voice sounds like his nose does the talking and his mouth is there for moral support.

    One host insulting the other for an hour. Has become unlistenable to me due to one obnoxious host.

  • I've enjoyed listening to this podcast, but the comment about clapping like someone with Down Syndrome was unnecessary. One of my sons, who loves cards, has Down Syndrome. He probably doesn't need to hear that on a podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Latest on the Seven-Figure Theft From PSA/FedEx
Q: PSA, according to what I saw from their correspondence to individual customers, is paying the maximum insured value of the card. Is that what you understand it to be as well?
Burrows says PSA did not provide him compensation details and that the valuation basis was unclear. He also notes that the police-reported figure might be fair market value or declared insured value, and PSA had not clarified how it was calculated.
The Latest on the Seven-Figure Theft From PSA/FedEx
Q: Can you kind of give our listeners an overview of what happened with PSA this past week?
Ben Burrows says a FedEx driver reported leaving a truck carrying PSA-graded cards for 60 to 90 minutes. When the driver returned, the lock was broken and packages from two pallets and part of a third were gone. PSA reported a value of $563,000 for the first two pallets, and the total was likely at least $1 million.
A New Style of Repack is Coming
Q: What would you guys think about TAG saying they're trying to do almost like a mobile grading, vending machine type thing? Would that change grading in terms of valuations for TAG or any other company?
Mike says TAG grading has not generally reached PSA or BGS values, but thinks the kiosk service could be useful. Jesse suggests that collectors with inexpensive cards may use a low-cost preliminary grade before deciding whether to submit a card to PSA.
A New Style of Repack is Coming
Q: When you hear that the truck driver's gone 60 to 90 minutes, just give me your initial reaction.
The former FedEx driver says he suspects an inside job, but adds that he cannot be certain. He says he has never seen a theft on that scale and believes the route was likely contracted.
Mike Has a Million-Dollar Product Idea for Topps
Q: Are sports cards worth grading when grading costs about $50 per card and a nine might not cover the expense?
Mike Gioseffi says collectors grading personal-collection cards can wait for lower fees. For cards intended for resale, he recommends having someone knowledgeable assess the condition and comparing likely nine and ten sale prices with the grading cost.
