Can PSA Take Away Your Grade? Plus Our $100K Babe Ruth Draft!

Can PSA really decertify a graded sports card without ever inspecting it in person? In this episode of the Collector Investor Podcast, we dive into a controversial PSA grading decision involving an older PSA 10 Barry Bonds card that reportedly had its certification deactivated after photos surfaced on X.

Should PSA have the power to invalidate a card's grade based on photos submitted by someone other than the owner? What happens to the collector who owns that card? And where does PSA's grading guarantee come into play?

Jeremy, Chris, and Thor debate the implications for vintage card collectors, grading standards, population reports, and the future of PSA-certified cards.

But that's not all! We also break down the latest Collector Investor Auctions results, including a surprising PSA 10 vs. SGC 10 price difference on a Robert Parish rookie card, the booming Kobe Bryant market, and some incredible vintage baseball cards.
