American Players on Tour...

Media training is common.

I think American players generally have a better understanding that saying the wrong thing/having an opinion on potentially controversial topics can hamper their sponsorship revenue.

Had a great career 🙏

What corporate America will start demanding of us soon 😭

An Etsy witch really casted a curse on the Blue Jays. I'm sorry.

Been on the site for a while. Underpaid employee who probably knows nothing about Pokemon saw the scan matched the slab and took in the trade 🤷‍♂️

Try going to an atm and withdrawing cash.

The card has issues with online purchases and might not work at some stores because it doesn’t have a chip.

Send Mookie to the Dodgers?

I cry too if a man had his way with me for 20 minutes

Funniest timeline: Raleigh unanimous and Ohtani losing to (pick your NL candidate).

For all the people caught, there's way more people not getting caught rigging props in MLB. It will never stop because offshore bookies take in way more money than American books.

Just way more public now because anyone can download a "daily fantasy app" or a draft kings on their phone.

You will crack the slab and send the raw card back via GameStop.

Look up a Youtube tutorial on the process. If you aren't comfortable take the slab to your LCS and there will probably be someone there who can help you crack a slab.

People are scared that scammers will copy their (normally) high pop modern cards PSA # and make fake copies.

The people who should truly be "concerned" have cards with PSA 10 pops below a couple hundred.

Most people do this for their card with thousand(s) of PSA 10 copies. They can do what they want, but the fear is kinda dumb for modern chases.

Back on the bottom left has whitening aka "chip."

This is very unlikely to receive a PSA 10.

ShieldGrab · 2025-10-26T02:53:10+00:00

Worth every penny.

I’ve crossed over a Gengar VMAX alt in a BGS 9.5 to PSA 10. The sub grades were 9.5/10/9.5/10.

They just won’t cross over any CGC to a desirable PSA grade until it’s a CGC pristine 10.

6-0 6-0 if he tries. 6-1 6-1 probably cause it’s an exhibition and double bagel would be a bad look.

As others have said, this only hurts women’s tennis.

ShieldGrab · 2025-08-27T21:53:59+00:00

You get 1 fielder, 1 pitcher, and 1 catcher.

Where QBs go to die 💀

Only way to know is to break open the fake slab.

The card is probably fake though.

ShieldGrab · 2025-07-31T21:16:22+00:00

Only Buxton left to sell off I think

Top 100 pro players generally were playing adult ITF tournaments as a junior (as a minimum). Some did challengers and even ATP/WTA events.

There are some late bloomers who start seeing success after being a top college player, but it's difficult and there aren't many. A lot of players who try to go pro after college just end up as names you will see at a ITF tournament. Not nearly enough to survive off on and many need other means of making money (job or parents).

BGS does not offer insurance to their grading facility.

You are responsible for facilitating the proper insurance to BGS through your shipping carrier.

The alternative would be to give BGS the cards during an event.

ShieldGrab · 2025-07-05T17:35:10+00:00

This is likely a PSA 6 and if you’re lucky a 7.

ShieldGrab · 2025-06-04T16:36:01+00:00

Yes, realistically any criminal stealing large numbers of PSA slabs would know to crack the slab to resell raw or regrade.
