In a few years there will be some pretty bad times for this hobby and grading unless this hobby becomes international and the market is expanded.

Australia and Canada are two markets that can really help the hobby. It is a PITA for shipping cards internationally and if this process can be made easier and cheaper, it will really help the hobby. I know a lot of people in Australia that collect cards and the prices they pay to get cards and the premiums in their country are outrageous. The demand, especially for basketball, is there. They have resorted to getting NFT's, because it is easier for them to collect that way. If PSA can have a vault and get cards to other countries with small fees, this will be a game changer.

Solid post.

I am just playing Devil's Advocate but how much does Australia and Canada really care about American vintage? I can see them being interested as investments but that is about it. Good points on NFTs.
