When Grades And Prices Don't Make Sense!! How Grading Changes Are Affecting Card Prices!!

Sometimes people buy the card and not the grade. Other times, people buy the grade and not the card. As grading standards seem to be getting tougher, it's having an effect on card prices as well. Whether you collect cards graded by PSA or SGC or both, there are times when the looks of a card doesn't seem to line up with the price that cards end up selling for. In this episode, I take a look at a few cards that have been graded, then we look at the grades they received and the prices they sold for in ebay auctions. Sometimes it lines up with what we expect, but quite often...it doesn't. I have two friends who join me as we look at some vintage baseball cards, then we discuss what's happening in the card market. ‪@billyballgamesportscards‬ and ‪@vintagesanctuary‬ are both great guys with great YouTube channels, and we have a really fun conversation around these topics. Let us know what you think of the cards, grades, prices, and your thoughts with what's happening in the vintage card market.
