And you thought we could go a few weeks without sharing an MJ card? In celebration of Spring Training fever, here’s one of his rarest autos fresh from the grading room. It’s Jordan. It’s baseball. It has double jersey number mojo. And despite only 45 examples in the world, these are even harder to find than the numbering suggests. Just two copies have been authenticated by PSA.

There’s a new notch in the grading process, and it just needs a minute of your time. For each card submitted, you’ll be provided front and back raw images for review after the Research & ID stage. Viewable through your My Orders page, it’s here to provide an opportunity to correct potential labeling miscues and keep those #PSAMailDay moments poppin’.

Attention manga mates: ONE PIECE has boarded the Set Registry. Your quest: summon Luffy, Nami, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirate Crew and commandeer a set chase that doesn’t go overboard on requirements. All languages, reprints and issues are allowed for each character, so there’s no wrong way to walk this plank.

With two new shows to break off, The PSA Pod is never not streaming. More commentary, more analysis, same feed—and available wherever you get your podcasts. Spun from a segment, Hit Draft now gets its own slot and flexes accordingly with a first-episode gauntlet of Julio Rodriguez, Bobby Witt Jr., Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge and the like. Survive that clash of the titans and stick around for The Index, where price data and market swings come informed by Card Ladder’s pulse on auction sales, player trends, and more.

It’s a starting grid with too much gold to go around, and our own Hanna Chang is on the call. The Director of Business Ops for the Collectors Vault has gone full color analyst for this finished Gold Refractor set of 2020 Topps Chrome F1 portrait cards, and the spectacle has pace.

Collectors Club members are treated to three all-you-can-grade specials this March. On the menu:

• $15/card grading specials for Vintage and TCG & Non-Sports cards
• Express Tier discounts for grading ($30 off) and dual service ($45 off)
• Discounts on ticket grading and pack grading

Fill up on all the details at the official page.

The country that coined the “Dutch Auction” can now add this to its name: land of the first European PSA Submission Center. 

Opening this month inside Dave & Adam’s year-old Netherlands storefront in Roermond is a PSA kiosk ready to receive and ship cards to our California grading desks on a bi-weekly basis. Additionally, Dave & Adam's will host an online portal for card submissions.

Netherlands not your region? There’s more international expansion on the way, so stay tuned for a PSA embassy that hits closer to home.

Of the nearly 1,950 copies that have hit the grading room floor, only one 1958 Topps Frank Robinson #285 has earned PSA 10 acclaim. So, whether you’re a Frank Robinson supercollector or vintage enthusiast hoping to level up with a different kind of 1/1, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Seize the moment in Goldin’s February Vintage Elite Auction.
