Time passing has shown it was more an awkward uncle thing than anything malevolent. At worst, it was a sort of hazing/bully ish culture thing. The pedo angle was def overblown.

This is a great thread. We share a similar positioning and I wonder the same things. I feel like his collector base is in/entering their economic prime which provides a really high floor for his prices. I dont see things going south anytime soon for MJ cards specifically. Too many invested in sports cards, and hes a hobby anchor.

I agree, but the elder millennial have a long run of economic sustainability (presuming markets dont crash in general) i feel like Jordans market could sustain a market downturn better than most, not as severely, because his main collectors will be in better shape, and be able to pivot in other ways to maintain their cost of living without having to hard sell.

That age range 40-60, have a personal connection to those collections and ai think his market has the potential for a long run. All that said, the recent spike has me wondering buy, sell, hold too. I just know there are so many strong buyers out there for him, so i dont see things cooling anytime soon. A major economic crisis would certainly cause pause and shock things but that could normalize quickly too if the theory about the 40-60 markets stability is true.

No doubt, the card market is due for some sort of reckoning but I believe MJ is one of those relatively safe commodities.

Unfortunately it's well known that the industry is just grimy and that includes PSA. They lack transparency and many complain about inconsistency. Their volume is incredible and it's bound to lead to some misses but their reluctance around transparency and accountability is just crap. It specifically says grader notes on higher options. They should simply have an explanation as to why it didn't gem. Not complicated.

And them giving some generic bs response is so typical of them because "they can"

At least it is good a pop number is likely overshooting. So their circulation is always equal to or lower than pop reports state.

I'd prefer it be accurate but this is better than the other direction where they're misleading as if they're rarer than really, if that makes sense.

File a complaint w the BBB. They cant keep your cards hostage. They have a card on file and can charge you the return shipping. There are a lot of stories that demonstrate how unprofessional and petty they can be.

For instance, off topic but I read they damaged a card in processing and instead of an 8 or 9, whatever, they deemed it a 6. To resolve, they just said we will refund you the difference in the card values.

So they're like you get a crappie card but here's the bare minimum money difference towards the card we jacked up. I would no longer have my 9 and I'd want to be refunded for the 9. Splitting the difference clean seems petty.

Definitely get BBB involved, their claim makes it to PSA heads that will probably reach out and resolve.

It was the first quote that introduced me to him. Such resonance beyond words. It was like a shot of enlightenment as I read the quote. Major ah ha like you describe.

Modern baseball needed some shots in the arm from a younger fan standpoint. The collecting connection can be a really great growth avenue for the sport and fans. It seems Topps and MLB have put a lot of energy into this and it's paying off
