Funny thing...I'm wearing my PSA Gray T-Shirt right now!



I generally bid on all the Now cards you put out there even if they are PSA, but even I can only have so many Judge's and Bellinger PSA 9's and 10's. By all means continue with the Hoskins cards though!



My suggestion would be to Mix it up, the real draw to PSA is their set registry and even though they don't have a 2017 Topps Now set listed (yet), once they do people will want at least one of each to show off and get that invitation to the Luncheon for the awards!



Note: My war with PSA started about a year after getting back into cards...I had been grading all my 70's 80's and 90's Topps sets and had many top HOF and complete sets (1996) and 1993 SP in my first year. They do not exist on the registry anymore but I kept the cards and certificates as proof, you just can't use the serial numbers.

I was active on the PSA message boards and mentioned that I thought grading your own printed cards (I Bryce Harper PSA made and graded card) even as a give away was not how 3rd party grading should work. They said I questioned their integrity and I was ban...

I though that was a little over the top so after digging into their past I though that I might have been a little too trusting to PSA especially when it came to very expensive cards where lesser copies are easy to swap out...so basically in my upset state I did exactly what they said I did when mentioning the Harper card...I called in their integrity on my grading of several 93 SP Jeters. I never brought this up until after I was ban...actually all happened in a 30 day span.



Week one: Open 3 Boxes of SP and submit 4 pristine Jeters (no lower left damage at all)



Week four: Get them back disappointed that the bests was an 8.5 and all had lower left damage.



Week five: Mention the Harper and how that is not "3rd Party grading"



Week five (and 5 minutes): Have all your cards serial numbers locked and sets removed...note on account said "Blocked By Joe"



Week 6: Joe Orlando publishes his article about the highest priced PSA cards and mentions the PSA 10 Jeters...going for about $10K each....AND the POP of PSA 10 Jeter's had risen by 3...having not moved for many months before hand.



Sure I could just be a conspiracy nut...but to me that is kind of fishy. Scan high dollar cards before sending is my suggestion. The above story is why I will never get back on PSA...I just wanted to grade a set of 2016 Now and the Aaron Judge's from the Transcendent Party and finish the few 93 SP's and 96's to fit into my son's birth year sets but I am just going to sell them an stick to BGS Now and the PSA ones I can buy on the cheap.



I've copied the above note so I won't have to write it out again...people always ask. And I tell...yet another reason I won't be allowed back into PSA...JOE O is watching!

I wish I could afford to "collect" Bellinger.

Heck, Seager also!

Why does the actual autograph seem different on the topps.com page for this card.

I wanted to add some photos to this thread. The link above has Bellinger rookie cards and they are sorted by Alpha and the Topps Now cards are middle of the photos. Not all on the checklist but several of them.

I would think at some point his regular Topps Now cards would start taking off in price. Thoughts?

i have noticed the autograph stuff increase in deamnd and price. not everything Belli has signed, and not every card.
But the arrows are pointing up for the CB stuff that is selling.
