"One store told us that customers who opt for a store credit will receive 40% more for their cards than those who opt to take a gift card that can be used anywhere."

Ok, party is over.

It's been a while, but I used to take my kids to GameStop to sell back video games they no longer wanted. I think it was similar back then that you got more in store credit than you would get in cash/gift card for use anywhere.

If they're giving 90-80% in store credit, that means only 50 - 40% in comps for cash lol.

Great! Now GameStop is getting into fencing Graded Cards, on top of video games and electronics.

Get ready to see more tweakers with sticky fingers ranging around at card shows.

This is an assumption based on conversations I've had with my daughter over the years, who worked at GameStop for a few years while she was in college.

This is the reason GameStop stock is soaring again! The market loves their connection to PSA!

It might help bring a bit of it together doing a search for "currency trading cards" and realizing PSA grades them...and Gamestop sells them.

It's an odd scene featuring "original art" in the loosest sense appealing to the weirder parts of the "investment" (also in the loosest sense) world.

I have no faith at all that Gamestop employees will be able to detect fake PSA slabs/flips or slabs with lower graded cards inserted and the slab resealed.

I hear thru well placed sources that after the sale is complete, Gold and Silver Pawn (aka Pawn Stars) will begin negotiations to buy Gamestop.

Per gamestop post, they will be taking sports cards:

"Yes we will, just as long as they have been graded."
