We got a behind-the-scenes look at PSA — the backlog, the process, and why they can't just "hire more graders." Plus: is a $63K LeBron Alter Ego crazier than an $8M Cooper Flagg?

This week on This Week In The Hobby, Dante and Connor are back from California with everything they learned walking the PSA grading floor: how many hands touch your cards, why the backlog exists, when PSA Value might reopen, and why the new PSA app might be the start of something much bigger.

Then we get into a massive week of sales — three NBA debut patches crossing $2M+, the Kobe/LeBron Dual Logoman at $6.5M, and the case for buying "third-tier" stars before the market catches up. We debate debut patches vs. Bowman 1st Superfractors, the JJ McCarthy trade and what it means for his cards, Panini's new Minor League Baseball deal, and whether it's OK to clean up card photos with AI before you sell.
