Default How Are Grading Cos. Going to Survive?

Posted By: Brian McQueen


I'll list a few things that I think will keep them in business -

All postwar issues....50s through present. Keep in mind that even when discussing stuff from the 50s...there is just SOOOOO much of it in some cases that I'd think they'll have plenty of cards to grade for a long time to come

Cards from other sports. Prewar football, boxing and hockey just to name a few

Coins - a rapidly growing market

autographs - see "Coins"

Comic books - always popular

Even role-playing card games are now being graded. I was on PSA's site just yesterday and noticed that Magic the Gathering cards are now being slabbed. I used to love playing that game.....

There are probably other totally different areas that they haven't expanded into yet (or have they???). Bottlecaps....license plates?? Seems silly, but you never know what they'll do to increase revenue and get a leg up on their competition.

PS...are they grading tickets yet??
