The Sports Card Industry Is Having A Tech Revolution - PSA Forbes Article

Not just Upper Deck, in the 2000-01 period Topps and Donruss/Leaf/Playoff both did that and I'm not sure about Fleer. It was actually not a bad idea and value added to the unopened boxes

Not sure about that. Check out this other article:

PSA kept the postal service busy in March.

For the first time in history, the company says it graded and shipped over one million trading cards in a single month as it continues to work through a submission backlog that measured around 13 million cards around this time last year.

The total was up 25% from February when PSA reported grading and shipping 802,694 trading cards in a month containing three fewer days.

In the first three months of this year, PSA says it has graded and shipped 2,783,269 cards, a 7.8% increase year-over-year from the same three months in 2021

If anything this may also be a sign of a bubble. With so much more slabbed content on the market prices will probably continue to give. Honestly depends on what market segment we are talking about.

It would be nice to use even more AI in grading.

And Collectors Edge.

Signature rookies came close, having a set where the autograph cards came in a sealed hard case. But no grading
