Why do some autographs turn out bold and beautiful while others look rushed, streaky, or barely readable? In this episode of The Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, Matt breaks down the four core factors that determine autograph quality—essential knowledge for any collector or anyone sending items into private signings.

You’ll learn how the item itself impacts ink absorption, why certain materials like glossy photos, baseball leather, and stitched jersey numbers consistently deliver better results, and why mesh jerseys or dark basketballs can be a challenge even for experienced signers.

Matt also dives into pen choice, from paint pens and Sharpies to Staedtlers, explaining how ink type, freshness, and tip size can make or break the signature. Next, you’ll hear how signing speed affects legibility and why autographs from game-day or walk-by moments often look totally different from clean, controlled private signing signatures. Finally, we break down the often-overlooked issue of pressure—how too much or too little can cause flooding, streaking, or light, patchy lines depending on the surface.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to choose the best item and the best pen to maximize your autograph quality—and avoid the common mistakes that lead to disappointing signatures.

Perfect for collectors, fans, and anyone who wants to get the best possible results from their next signing.

Is an Authentication Sticker Worth It? The Pros & Cons for Collectors
In this episode of The Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, we dive into one of the most debated topics in the hobby: should you add an authentication sticker or hologram to your signed sports cards?

We surveyed collectors and the results might surprise you—50% said no, 30% said yes, and 20% landed somewhere in the middle. So why the divide?

We break down the reasons behind each stance:
Why some collectors prefer authentication: 61% value the witness certification, 15% say it's hard to get 3rd-party authentication, and 17% don’t plan on using PSA.
Why others avoid it: 40% dislike the look of the sticker, 39% believe it hurts the card’s value, and 12% don’t want to spend the extra money.

We also talk about when it actually makes sense to sticker your card—think high-end autographs, cards that won’t be sent to PSA, or signatures that are tough to authenticate later.

Whether you love the hologram or hate the sticker, this episode will help you make a smarter decision next time you get a card signed.

Ever wondered why some autographs carry eye-popping price tags? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of autograph pricing and reveal why a signature from legends like Tom Brady or Shohei Ohtani can cost a fortune. It’s not as simple as just the athlete’s fame – the final price is often shaped by a mix of athlete contracts, signing demand, competition among memorabilia companies, and even event logistics.

We’ll uncover who really sets the price, and why it’s not usually the athlete deciding. Instead, companies negotiate huge contracts with top athletes, setting prices to balance demand, time, and exclusivity. We’ll also explore how some athletes, like Hall of Famers who sign more frequently, offer affordable options, while others command a premium because of their limited availability or post-championship timing.

Join us as we break down the hidden factors behind high autograph costs, including how the timing of a signing, public appearances, and even holiday gift-giving season all impact the price collectors pay. From high-demand names to practical limits on autograph sessions, discover why the most coveted autographs come with a hefty price tag – and why, even if prices dropped, the demand might be impossible to meet.

If you've been keeping your eyes and ears open with this year's football playoffs, then the name Brock Purdy won't be new to you at all.

Purdy started off as some unassuming 3rd string QB, but recently his name has been blowing up as he was given the opportunity to lead his team to 5 straight victories going into the NFL playoffs. It's not hard to start to wonder if this "from the shadows 3rd string QB" could go all the way to the Super Bowl! For the next couple weeks people will definitely be waiting to see if exactly that happens!

In the meantime though, that means we can talk about Brock Purdy and whether he belongs in your collection at all, and if so, what is he even worth?

In the sports card industry we have basically everything we could possibly need, and frankly, probably too much of it. We have numerous card grading companies, selling and e-commerce platforms, and more vaults than I even want to think about.

So what could we possibly still need? Well, I think there is one solid hole that could be filled. There are a couple that are already trying, or are at least in an optimal position to fill this role.

What does the sports card hobby need in 2023? That's what today's video is all about.

Last week we talked about autograph quality, sone of the biggest gripes in the industry. So this week we are naturally talking about the 2nd gripe of the industry, autograph cost!

The quality of autographs has obviously been dropping, but why has the cost of autographs has been going up? What can we do about it? Are dealers just being greedy and taking every penny you have? We'll talk about all that and more today!

The sports autograph. It's the quintessential thing that any serious collector wants in their collection on a baseball, basketball, jersey, or anything else with their favorite team logo.

Luckily for collectors, most athletes give a nice, quality autograph. However, sometimes the autograph quality is not what you would hope for from many of the newer athletes. More and more these days, we see athlete's signatures turning into scribbles (if they actually try), and just a straight line if they don't. Why is this? Why are autographs continuing to decline in quality? What can we do about it?

Today, I'll tackle that and more.

Of course, you've heard the news that Aaron Judge just hit his 62nd home run of the season. These can definitely be exciting moments in baseball history. With his name all in the news right now, it seems like the right time to talk about his presence in the sports memorabilia industry.

Should you be buying Judge items? We'll go over all of that today on the show!

Is it finally time!? For a long time, PSA has offered an authentication option that let's face it, didn't mean too much for collectors. Now, I used it from time to time for lower value cards in the past, mostly just to get the card slabbed, but with changing prices at PSA and a new dedication to return cards on a quicker timeline, I think it's time for this specific option to die off and be replaced.

I'm talking about the "Trading Card" authentication. I've talked about it in depth before, and today we're going a little more in-depth about why it is time for it to be put away for good!

eBay just recently added sports card authentication to listings of ungraded cards of $250 or more and graded cards of $350 or more. Each eBay sale that meets that criteria, has the card shipped to PSA or CSG to confirm the authenticity of the card.

Any time a company takes steps to combat fraud is usually a good thing.

Today we will talk about the positives, negatives, and what could be done to improve eBay's sports card authenticity guarantee program.

In the past on this show I have covered how to send your cards into PSA for grading through their website, but what about tickets? The interest in getting tickets autographed and graded is continuing to grow in the industry, but only a select number of companies even slab them, with the biggest one being PSA who also grades them.

Today, I'll show you how simple it is to send your tickets to PSA to be graded, and give some advice on how to best make the grading work in your favor!

If you have been watching this channel for any decent amount of time, then you know I have been preaching a specific message, consistently, for a long time. Athletes are retiring, getting old, or just flat out not signing anymore. That is just the truth of the matter in regards to sports memorabilia.

So now, let's tack one more thing onto that list. Businesses like Fanatics are starting to limit what items they will allow autographs on at their athletes' signings. So you really need to jump on these opportunities while you have the chance! Today, we talk about the growing discontinuing of autographing tickets and rookie cards look like they are on the chopping block next!

We all want to get the best possible autograph on our sports card. Ever get a card back from a signing and think WTF happened? The ink looks like it didn't dry in the place it went onto the card or has holes in it. Streaks everywhere.

I know we all want to blame the autograph promoter for the bad autograph, but often times, it has to do with the crappy surface of the card, especially with modern cards such as Prizm and Chrome and their glossy surface.

If a card’s surface doesn’t have anything for the ink to stick to, its hard to get a good quality autograph.

So how do we fix this?

That's today's topic.

We’ve all had or known someone who has had packages lost/stolen in the mail. Seems to be a running joke with the post office.

Just saw a video on @nothinglike90scards Instagram that I shared last video of a FedEx employee stealing 5 of his most important cards en route to PSA.

With PSA re-opening up its economy service I am sure more and more people will be shipping cards out to them. What are somethings you can do to protect yourself in case something like @nothinglike90scards happens to you?

Not all of this will protect you 100%, but you will feel better knowing you took some of these steps.

Let’s take a look at 10 things to do to protect yourself.

1 Insurance

Obvious one here, but if you can’t self insure or the items you are sending are irreplaceable, I would add insurance. It is fairly cheap. Put it for the replacement value.

2 Use correct size box

UPS and FedEx are sticklers for that 4” rule around the outside of the materials.

3 Take a photo of your shipping label and the cards being sent to PSA before packaging them up. Make this 1 image. All together.

4 Info on shipping label

I never ship anything from Powers Sports Memorabilia. That makes me a target. I use a different name on the ship from address.

If your business name is Joey’s Sports Cards, maybe just put your name on it and remove the sports cards.

5 Use CHECK CONTENTS TAPE

This is the tape that tells you to check the contents if seal is broken. A person opening your box would have to have same exact tape in order to seal it back up again. Might deter someone.

6 if shipping expensive items consider an AirTag

What do they do? According to Apple, Your AirTag sends out a secure Bluetooth signal that can be detected by nearby devices in the Find My network. These devices send the location of your AirTag to iCloud — then you can go to the Find My app and see it on a map. The whole process is anonymous and encrypted to protect your privacy. Air tags cost about $30.

7 Get a receipt

When dropping them off at FedEx or USPS for PSA shipments have them scan the package in front of you and give you a receipt.

Now you 100% know they have the package and your insurance is activated. Nothing worse that just dropping it off and not seeing a scan for 2-3 days.

8 Drop them off at PSA yourself.

Again, sending tens of thousands of dollars of cards to PSA you might consider dropping them off in person.

9 Wait for the National

PSA is at the National every year and you can drop your cards off and get them back by the end of the weekend. Of course, other grading companies are at other shows and offer similar service.

10 Make your return address a business or PO Box

Nothing worse than having your cards graded and then someone steals it off your porch. Get it delivered to a location where only you have access to it. A UPS Store, PO box, or your place of business.

We’ve all heard about recent theft and break-ins in the hobby. Explosion of the hobby and values going up, stores and collectors are becoming targets.

Just recently, Nat Turner, one of the owners at PSA, just had his car broken into in a locked residential garage overnight, stealing over 1 million in cards.

Fortunately for him, he was able to recover all of the cards.

With all this craziness going on, what can you do as a collector to protect yourself? Let’s talk about 5 things you MUST be doing.

We all have those things in our collection that just don't speak to us anymore. Maybe it is a poster we bought, or sports cards we no longer are interested in.

Every year we should do a spring cleaning of our collection. Remove items that no longer fit into it and sell them. Use those funds to buy the items we really want, or do something fun and interesting in our lives.

Why is MLB authentication the best in the baseball memorabilia industry?

5 reasons I believe this to be true.

1. It is ran by one of the world’s best leagues. Anything associated with the MLB brand you better believe they will do anything and everything to ensure it’s authenticity and accuracy.

2. It is a witness authentication hologram, meaning a representative from MLB was present for the autograph signing and witnessed the player signing your item. MLB is not an autograph authentication company like JSA where you can send them items to authenticate. They strictly witness the signings.

3. Their online database is easy to verify authenticity. Simply type in the code on your item and it will state the item and date it was signed. While inaccuracies do occasionally occur, their database is very accurate.

4. Their authentication isn’t available to everyone. Certain companies such as Fanatics have a license to use the authentication program. Makes it a bit more rare and sought after.

5. They also authenticate game used items they witness at the ballpark. If you ever want to get your game used MLB authenticated item signed, you can have an athlete inscribe Game Used on it. Whereas, if you had an item without the authentication getting an athlete to write Game Used on it can be challenging.

It might be a no-brainer to say, but in the autograph world, there are 2 huge categories everything can be broken down into. Items from players there are deceased or retired, and items from players that are still very active or even new.

Eventually, you'll even have to ask yourself, which category is better for my investing? What autographs are better to buy long-term? This can be a hard question to answer. While the new and current players feel so much more exciting and it can be so easy to get caught up in the hype and want to be a part of it.

The reality is this also makes current player items more volatile and unpredictable. For me, that just isn't the game I'm looking to play when it comes to my autographs. So today we're going to talk about why retired and deceased players might be the safer way to go.

Of course, these are just my thoughts and opinions, but it is a huge question that you need to answer for yourself if you're going to be comfortable in this hobby! I'll help you come to your own answer for this question today on the Power's Sports Memorabilia Show!

I've been hitting on this topic for a few videos now, and I want to keep it going. This is such a minor thing in the grand scheme of collectibles, but when you start narrowing down on just the topic of sports autographs, it is suddenly is a HUGE DEAL!

Do you want your once-in-a-lifetime signed jersey to have a terrible looking signature on it? Absolutely not. But what do you do when you just don't know if the sharpie or paint pen you have will look good on that special jersey of yours? Wouldn't it be great if someone went through the trouble of testing that stuff out for you?

Well, I did exactly that! We are going to go through a list of sharpie and paint pen colors on a variety of jersey colors to see how they come out. So the next time you need an autograph put down on your jersey you will know exactly what pen to use! Lots of great information on today's Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

The Sports Memorabilia and Collectibles industry has really just been astounding the last year or so. There have been tons and huge deals and the industry just seems to be booming with no signs in sight of slowing down, but with all that great news, comes some downsides as well.

Today the huge downside that I'm talking about is the "Pump and Dump" scheme. Now you can see this scheme happen in literally any industry and in any market, and we are all kidding ourselves if we think this kind of market manipulation isn't happening in our very own hobby as well.

So what should you do about it? How do you avoid it? You'll hear all those answers, and even how I fell victim to this trap once before, on today's Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

What an exciting time for the sports card hobby! I have got to say, there has just never been more action going on that in these recent months. Card values rising, the National Convention, companies going public, and now... Fanatics signing an absolutely insane and exclusive deal for rights to the MLB license!? I mean really?

Just wow, what a time for the hobby. After so many years in the hands of Topps, to be jumping to a new organization is just crazy, and I'm sure it will bring with it some very cool new items from Fanatics, but also maybe help push the other big names to think outside the box and innovate even more. Time can only tell!

In the meantime, I will be discussing what this new deal means for Fanatics, Upper Deck, and the hobby in general. So if you're looking for some quick insights into this historical deal, then check out today's Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

Michael Jordan. What else do I need to say? He's one of the marvels of the NBA world, and no matter how hard you try, you just can't ignore what he brings to the sport and to the collectibles hobby! Still, when someone is as big a name as Jordan is, it becomes too easy to tunnel in on the expensive items. The jerseys, basketballs, autographed items. The 1986 Fleer card. They are amazing items to have, but are they the only thing worth paying for in regards to this idle? I would argue, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Especially with many of Michael Jordan's cards well over $1,000.

I've talked about it so much on this show. If you want to grow the value of your sports card collection, you can't just focus on the big-ticket items. There is so much more to it than that. I am a huge proponent of looking for those cheaper items, and in this case, cards, that will have huge increases in value once they are graded. Speaking from experience, it works! Plus, these Michael Jordan cards just look dang good.

So, what low-cost sports cards do I think you should go searching for that hold potential for huge value growth? Well, stick through the whole show and you'll learn my TOP 10 CHEAP JORDAN CARD PICKS, today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

Well, it finally happened the other day. I got some of my submitted cards back from PSA, and I have to say I was a bit shocked. By a significant amount, I had been graded more PSA 9s than 10s. Now I'm not saying I'm the master of grading cards, but from my overall track record, this was certainly surprising for a modern card submission such as a Lebron James 2018 Panini Revolution.

So this really begs the question. With all the recent PSA events in the 1st half of this year including the purchase of Genamint, has PSA cracked down on its grading standards? In other words, are they even harsher graders than they were in the past? To find out I dug a bit deeper and after talking with some reliable people in the hobby, it looks like this could really be a possibility.

To see what I mean, stick through today's video. I talk about some important PSA acquisitions recently, and also some numbers from my PSA submission group gemmint.com that are just too hard to argue with. Find out about it all on today's Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

In the sports card collecting hobby there is an obvious choice you have to make at the beginning of every purchase. Do you buy the ungraded card, or do you buy the already graded card? Of course, the graded cards cost more, but at least you know upfront the value and quality of that card!

However, if you're looking at making more profit off selling sports cards, buying the ungraded cards and taking the risk that they grade a 10 can sometimes pay off HUGE!

If you are right and they get those coveted grades, you just hit the jackpot. Still, there are some major things you need to keep in mind if you're going to start buying ungraded sports cards.

Today, I talk about 10 things buyers should avoid when looking at the ungraded sports card market. From looking at the centering of the card, to choosing who you buy from, to understanding which sports card grading company you are choosing. I could probably go on and give more than 10, but we have to start somewhere, and these are some big points, so find them all out today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

The sports card hobby can be daunting with how large it is. So many different cards at various prices. What are good buys? Should you be buying expensive or cheap items? Even harder when you want to make it into some kind of side business as well. How should you go about it? What cards worth looking at?

Well, I've made many videos covering this topic, but today I want to go a step further and talk about some cards that are currently on my radar. Only a small number of collectors can really risk spending the huge dollar amounts, and I am not one of those guys. I focus on the lower cost items that feel safer to work with, and I'm going to share that information with you today, on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

Today we will look at 5 different sports cards that I have been buying lately. I wouldn't call these investments, but more to give as cheap gifts or to add some unique and fun cards into your collection.

I'm back at it again dishing out some of those sweet stat numbers. This time, we are diving in deep to the 1986 Fleer basketball set. This set remains to be so iconic to the hobby community, and why shouldn't it be? The players in here are legends!

Rookie cards from guys like Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, and Dominque Wilkins just to name a few.

With the Michael Jordan 1986 Fleer card becoming out of reach financially for most people, collectors and investors have been looking into the other cards to find opportunities.

We are going to be talking about all kinds of cool numbers and facts. We'll look at some interesting ratios and compare sale performance to POP report performance. There is just so much information buried in these cards, waiting to be dug up. That's what we're going to do today, so enjoy the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

I found a listing from clutchpoints.com of which NBA stars they considered to be in the TOP 50 players, and that inspired me to go digging a little bit and see how these guys are doing on the sports card market.

Most specifically I zoned in on their rookie cards and took an in-depth look at various stats to see who is doing well on the card market and who isn't. I know you will be surprised by at least a few of these. Plus, I would even say there are some undervalued gems hidden in this list!

We are all familiar with the famous 1986 fleer basketball set with iconic cards such as Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, and Karl Malone. But did you know there is a hidden gym within that rookie card set?

I also took at look at who were some of the hardest rookie cards to find and also which ones were the most expensive and affordable.

Is LeBron James rookie card undervalued?

Lastly, the PSA population report was taken into consideration. You will be amazed at how many of these basketball cards have extremely low numbers.

So if you are a sports stats junky and you are ready for some interesting and thought-provoking numbers, stay tuned through today's whole video, on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

I've talked about the major PSA changes at the beginning of this year in past videos. So today I am taking it a step further in talking about one of the companies that have a shot at bringing in some fresh clientele.

Just the other day I got back my first submission of cards to SGC for grading. I got them back in just 21 days!

That got me thinking about SGC vs. PSA, which one is better for sales? After all, we are all affected by these changes lately, and it is important for you to know if it is worth waiting for PSA to open their less expensive service tiers, or if you should dive into other grading companies.

Also, since most of you haven't used SGC before, I will talk you through how I submit cards to them for grading and also give you a little background on them. And most important, are their graded cards of any significant value? Find out on today's episode of the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

With all the sports in the world, it is of course so easy for many to fall under the radar. Of course for your at home life, this isn't any kind of problem, but what if you want to take your collection or investment strategy to another level? Well, then you might be missing out all of a sudden.

A great example of this is the soccer sports card world. As Americans, soccer can easily fly under the radar for most people, but it is a world renowned sport with amazing and exceptional athletes that should be welcome parts of your collections. It seems now though, that people are catching onto the soccer world, so what's next?

UFC, that's what. With major personalities in the industry that are known by name across the globe, you probably do not want to be sleeping on UFC sports cards. Conor McGregor is a HUGE superstar with tons of value as a card investment. Also, with 2021 UFC Prizm set to release in April 2021, many collectors are on the fence about collecting UFC cards.

Do they represent a HUGE OPPORTUNITY? What are the cards to collect? Who are the fighters? How can we tell that UFC is worth it, and what kinds of options and names should you be looking out for? You'll find out today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

Huge news for the sports card industry, and in general the collectors market as a whole. One of the biggest and most prominent names in basketball right now, has signed an exclusive memorabilia deal with PANINI!

Luka Doncic, a long time signee to Fanatics, just signed a new deal with Panini on April 22, 2021. This raises a whole new slew of questions and reactions for any involved in the collectors hobby, whether that's sports cards or autographed sports memorabilia.

Sports card collectors and investors should be stoked about this deal. Why? Are we going to see Luka Doncic autographed cards now in Panini Prizm or Select product?

Will it be easier or harder to get signatures from him now? How will this affect the sports card market, and more specifically the market on Luka autographed collectibles. Autograph collectors could take a hit with this new deal. I'm talking about it all today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

You've finally gotten that rookie card that you've been looking for. It's taken weeks or months to find, and it's finally yours! Getting it graded and recognized as a top-tier quality collectible will increase its value HUGE! With that in mind, you go staking out the options, seeing what the prices are with the various companies, and finally, pick one. The big question though, did you pick the right one?

Collecting and investing in sports cards is big business. Having a rookie card with a PSA 10 grade can increase a cards value thousands of dollars.

Having that same card graded by a low tier or no known company can make it almost worthless.

To compete with PSA, BGS, and SGC there have been quite a few sports card grading companies come on the market. Companies such as HGA and CSG.

It can be very confusing who to pick to grade your rookie card. What are some things you should consider? How do you know which sports card grading company is the best? Are there any risks involved? Well, I'll give those answers out today, on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

It's the dream. You have that special card or jersey, and all you need to make that item the best it can be is an autograph. A simple signature from the pro and you finally find someplace that is doing a signing, and it costs an arm and a leg. This isn't always true, but lately, some of these autographs are getting INSANELY pricey making it difficult to add autographed rookie cards to an autograph collection.

As the hobby continues to take off, rookie signatures are getting more and more costly! Pricing is on the up and up for them. As autograph collectors this can be a tough pill to swallow.

What other changes have happened recently in autograph signings? Why the upcharge on custom/specialty helmets? Why officially licensed items?

I can just not believe this. Would I have done this myself? Definitely not, but someone did, and total congratulations to them for adding what they believe is a great card to their basketball collection.

LaMelo Ball's 1st ever PSA 10 graded 2020 Panini Prizm rookie card just sold on eBay for a staggering amount. LaMelo Ball is going to be a great basketball player but did this collector over pay? Was this a good sports card investment?

NBA sports cards have been increasing in value A TON since the new 2021 season started. LaMelo Ball is the star rookie card everyone is after. But is this TOO much of a price to pay for his Prizm rookie card?

I want to look at this insane sports card sale from a fresh perspective though. Could a purchase like this ever make sense? Was it a good choice? Was it a bad choice? By the end of today's Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, you will have an answer!

The year started with PSA as the star in the news, and now we are apparently transitioning to Topps as the star of the next quarter. Topps just announced they are getting back into the public trading game, and what a shake-up that could bring to the hobby and sports card market.

Topps is synonymous with baseball cards, owning the Bowman brand for quite a few years. However, Topps is also known for making the most iconic basketball cards of all time, the Topps Chrome rookie cards of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

With this new found investment, will Topps be able to secure the licensing rights to make basketball and football sports cards? Currently, Panini holds the exclusive rights to those sports. Sports card collectors and investors would love to see that happen, but will it?

Like all the major news these days, we have even more questions to answer and new plans of action to consider. How will Topps entering the public market change things with Panini, and what is Topps looking to pursue now going forward? Find out today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

2020-2021 Panini Prizm Basketball Blaster sports card boxes can be a great deal! Or can they? Well, in the eyes of a collector who is hoping to sell these boxes or their contents for a profit down the road, it can be hard to say. These things are a great deal because they are cheap, while still offering a chance for profit. On the other hand, they can be so hard to acquire because of online internet bots and long lines at retail stores such as Walmart and Target that just the effort of buying one of these alone can sink your chances at a profit.

So what are my thoughts on the subject, and how I approach this? Are these good investments for sports card collectors or investors? Find out today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

When it comes to the Sports Card Hobby, 2021 has been off to one crazy start. PSA was continuing to be backlogged, then they raised their prices, and now this! PSA has shut down most sports card grading services until July 2021.

What does this mean for the hobby? Effect on current PSA graded cards? Effect on other card grading companies such as BGS, HGA, SGC, and CSG? Also, what is your game plan going forward?

As a sports card collector and investor it is important to have options. In today's episode of The Powers Sports Memorabilia Show, I go over those with you and discuss how PSA can possibly avoid this backlog in the future.

Today is the day! If you've been excited about the new Panini Basketball 2020/21 Hobby Box, then you can finally get your hands on it now!

Well, okay, probably not. The hype for this box has been insane. So insane, that sites such as eBay and Blowout Cards have had preorder prices greater than $2000. For some, this might be way out of budget. Of course, as collectors it's understandable, the itch to get this next thing, but is it actually worth it? Will you recoup your money from a purchase like this?

Panini Prizm basketball is one of the most sought after brands in the sports card industry. Collectors and investors love this product. However, in the last few years it has become VERY expensive.

LaMelo Ball is the rookie card everyone is looking for. Do you even have a chance to pull one?

That's what we're talking about today. I'll talk about the costs, numbers, and give my opinion and what you might want to do with this situation. All today, on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

By now you should all know about the huge price changes in the various tiers offered by PSA for sports card grading. I've covered it a fair amount over the last week or so, and certainly many others have been on top of it as well. Obviously, there are more grading companies out there, but what are they like? Are some worth considering more than others? Today we will talk about Beckett Grading Services (BGS), SGC grading, HGA grading, SGC grading, and also GMA grading.

If you are a sports card collector or investor and are looking for alternative ways to get your cards grader quickly and cheap then today's video is for you.

Basketball, football, baseball, and even soccer cards are on the rise.  Getting your cards graded by companies such as PSA or Beckett can add significant value to them.  But with their huge backlog of cards, what other card grading companies are there to choose from?

Find out the Pros, the Cons, and some price points today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

A PSA grade of 10 is a coveted form of recognition in all sports and trading card communities. The most obvious reason for this? Well, it's really hard to get! A card has to be practically perfect and meet a list of criteria to be given the top mark from PSA graders, but if you can get that number, then your card instantly becomes more valuable than it was the day you sent it off. So if you want in on some of the collectibles action, this is a must know for you. What tips and tricks of the trade do you need to know. You'll find out today on the Powers Sports Memorabilia Show!

Depending on other people to get your item autographed can be difficult.

It can also be especially difficult if you are sending in an expensive or hand to replace item.

Here are some tips you can follow to make sure your item turns out 100%.

1.) Contact company beforehand and tell them what you are sending in. Ask how they want payment.

2.) When sending your item in, include your contact information, where you want the item signed and what pen color.

3.) Ship the item the way you want it shipped back to you.

Recently Zion Williamson’s autograph price dropped by 35%!

Why did this happen?

Prior to becoming the #1 pick by the New Orleans Pelicans, Zion was already a HUGE autograph in demand. Talking $500-$1000 depending on the item.

After being drafted, the price starting creeping towards $1,000 and above.

Why?

There was no price to base anything off of.

Zion had yet to do a paid autograph signing. All these items were signed in person or at the Duke meet and greet before the season.

Sellers were just pricing items based off what they thought they could get for them. Basically, the wild, wild, west for autographs.

So what happened?

Zion did an autograph signing and brought the price down.

A company had finally brought him in to do a paid, sit down autograph signing.

Zion isn’t worth a company paying $500-$1000 for an autograph, probably more in the $150-$200 range. No company would pay that $500 autograph price.

Thus, this is where an autograph signing actually brought the price down.

A comment I hear a lot of are “dealers are ruining the autograph market.” The thinking is by charging for autographs, the players will no longer sign for free. I haven’t seen that be the case. Honestly, I think its just anger and frustration that players they want in their collection are priced too high for some. And that’s a fair and legitimate grip. However, not everything in life is meant to be affordable for everyone. Take Michael Jordan for example. Not everyone can afford an $8,000 jersey. See my recent video on why Michael Jordan’s jersey price doubled.

With all that being said, here is a clear example of how dealers helped the autograph market.

Bringing the price down.

Providing a quality item.

What is a razz?

I am not giving legal advice. You should seek the advice of an attorney in your state. Essentially it is a form of gambling. The seller determines an item is worth $100. He would then sell 10 spots at $10 (example). A person could pick up as many spots as they want. The names are then put into a randomizer where the names are randomly shuffled, with the top name after 5 times being randomized the winner.

Why do people do razzes?

Sellers of the item typically do them to make an item easier to sell. For example, a $500 item with 50 spots at $10 each is a lot easier for someone to pay for rather than finding 1 buyer for $500.

As a buyer, people like the thrill of winning something. Especially if they only paid $10 for it.

Why no to do razzes?

Well, typically they are illegally. Plus, you know with any gambling, the house always wins right? You almost never come out on top. In this case, the seller is the house.

Say you play 50 razzes in 1 year at $10 a pop. Each with 50 spots available (total value on each item $500). Your chance of winning each razz is 2%. Say you win once over those 50 razzes. You just spent $500 on that item you won. Not having any control over which razz you won. You would be better off saving your money and spending it on something you truly want.

Autograph to consider picking up for your collection and one I have been attempting to stock up on.

Don Shula. Guys a coach, why should I consider his autograph?

2 x SB CHAMP

HOF 97

Only Coach of undefeated NFL team, 1972 Dolphins 17-0

If you are a Miami Dolphins or NFL fan, this might be one of your only times to pick up an autograph of an undefeated NFL head coach.

Shula is getting up there in age, he is 89. Last I checked his health was OK, but not great. I have heard from a few people that he won’t be doing anymore signings or traveling.

So what should you get on him?

Anything with the 17-0 inscription is ideal. That is where your value is.

Mini helmets inscribed 17-0 $199 .

Regular minis $149.

$499 for full-size helmets with HOF inscription. Again, 17-0 inscription is preferred.

Also, 1972 team-signed Dolphins helmets or jerseys with Dhula on it. Those around $1,000 right now, lots of value in those. Just make sure they have Shula on them.

Pete Alonso has all the characteristics of an autograph going up in value.  Very similar to Mike Trout in 2012 (his rookie of the year).

  • 2020 Hall of Fame inductee, 14 all star, 5 World Series Champ, World Series MVP, Rookie of the Year.

  • Could be 2nd unanimous inductee

  • Top 5 Yankee of all-time

  • Tough autograph to find. Hasn’t done a signing since he left Steiner.

  • What will pricing be when he gets in HOF?

  • Inscriptions have always been expensive $1,000 or so.

  • If looking for just a Jeter autograph, now is a great time.

What should you get now?

Not a huge fan of Jeter photos since his autograph is so expensive. Only Jeter photo I have liked is the flip play vs the Oakland A's.

Baseballs rule the day for Jeter. So many to get. World series balls, 2008 all star (game at Yankee Stadum), final game at Yankee Stadium, retirement logo, or just standard MLB is a good one.

What other items? Love Jeter jerseys. He is one guy worthy of having his jersey on your wall. Even if not a die hard Yankee fan. 14 all star, 5 World Series Champ, World Series MVP, Rookie of the Year..

Bats are very popular with Jeter. Get a name model bat though. Can also engrave stats onto a big stick bat.

What to get after he gets into HOF?

All depends on pricing. I have a feeling it will be very expensive.

Hall of Fame logo balls will be a popular item. Probably more so than MLB balls with HOF inscription just due to the cost of Jeter’s inscription.

Some customers might be stat stuff done. For example stat balls, bats, and jerseys (for those with thousands to spend).

HOF logo bats will be good too. Jerseys with HOF patch (can always buy jersey now at a good price, then add the HOF patch later).

Just be willing to spend if you want inscriptions but be open to logo stuff to save money.

Now that the 2018 NFL season is over, who are the Top 5 young autographs to buy that may be going up in value soon?  

View Details

6 x Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady is doing another autograph signing in March, 2019.  What do you need to know?  That's today's topic.

View Details

1.)    I would advise against using sports memorabilia as an investment.   Takes a few years to understand the market, what tends to go up in a significant amount of value.  Sports memorabilia, does go up in value, but not nearly as consistent and more like a good growth stock mutual fund would.  Much more reliable to invest in the stock market than sports memorabilia for that reason.

2.)    With that being said, I know many of you like to buy autographs for the potential resale value down the road.  So, if I were in your shoes and had a few bucks to spend and sit on a few autographs, what would I buy?  Please note, this list isn’t going to cover everything.  There are many different types of items you can buy.  Just going to focus on a few that seem to be the most popular.  Also, for the purposes of this topic, will just focus on baseball.   Of course, football, basketball, and hockey are highly collectible too.

3.)    Game used items.  This is a no brainer as items used by the athlete tend to hold value and can be extremely rare, depending on the item.   Items from a specific game too can also increase very fast.  Game used items that are also autographed and inscribed the date of use will also add value.  Definitely would focus on stars, Hall of Famers, perennial all-stars, etc..  As much as you may like the short stop for the Kansas City Royals, 90% of collectors probably have no idea who he is.  So focus on the bigger names.  

4.)    Vintage autographs, especially autographed baseballs.  Guys like Babe Ruth, Roger Maris.  Rare guys like Thurman Munson, Roberto Clemente, etc…  These can be very expensive for obvious reasons, but these are the guys every collector wants.  Will always be a high demand for them.  Of course, make sure you get an item that is certed by PSA, JSA, or Beckett.

5.)    Baseball cards.  I know this is an odd topic as most baseball cards (post 1980) are not worth crap.  Some of the 1970 ones and prior do have a higher value.  Yes, some of the current ones like those Ohtani cards were going for a pretty penny.  But for consistently going up in value, some of the earlier baseball cards can be decent investments.  

6.)    Rookies.  This can be hit or miss of course.  But, if you can find a rookie like a Trout, Aaron Judge, or Ohtani for example that commands a high price now (but wasn’t before), those can shoot up quickly in value.  Also, you will have the added value of it being a rookie year signed piece, which of course will never be a flooded market as they are only signed during one year.

7.)    What would I stay away from?  Autographed photos seem to not hold as much valuable as some of the premium items (jerseys, bats, etc).  I wouldn’t get run of the mill items either.  For example, a Mike Trout signed baseball might be cool, but those are everywhere.  A Mike Trout game-used item, now you have something cool and hard to find.  Definitely wouldn’t invest in any custom or non-licensed jerseys.

Preface this by saying if this was a free crappy autograph of a no name player and you are just adding random people to the jersey and you don’t care about the jersey, or if you got it on a China jersey and are like $25 into the jersey, OK do what you want. But here are 4 reasons why you should not wear an autographed jersey.

1.) Cost. You can buy an unsigned jersey for way cheaper. 2.) It will ruin the autograph. Sitting back on a seat, getting something spilled on it at a game. 3.) No doubt the jersey will get dirty at some point. Can’t wash it 4.) You will just look plain silly.

1.) Framing - how much should it cost, where to get it done at, what is UV protective glass?

2.) Baker Mayfield collectibles starting to move! Good time to get in on him?

3.) THE best Willie Mays autograph story I have ever been a part of

View Details

1.) Contact vendor immediately. I prefer doing this via email so I have documentation. Tell them what your problem is and be specific on how you would like it resolved. New item, different item, refund?

2.) Be courteous and kind. No need to be THAT guy that yells at everyone. Focus on the solution, not the problem. Sometimes it isn’t the dealers fault. Athletes can be tricky and moody at times and unwilling to do certain things they agreed to. Sometimes issues pop up like a pen exploding that weren’t foreseen.

3.) Be open to ideas and solutions. Let’s say the guy signing doesn’t sign much or ever. Might not be able to replace. So be open to different items or other solutions. 4.) Get a resolution date in writing. Say you are going to get a new item, ask when you should have it by? Or if getting done at next signing, get a firm date on that. Just so everyone is on the same page on timeline.

5.) Resolution still not met? Don’t be afraid to do a chargeback or PayPal claim. I really hate doing these because its just a pain in the but, but sometimes you have no choice.

6.) How do you help avoid this happening? Make sure you personally label your item the way you want. Take a photo of item of you drawing it out how it is supposed to be. Always pay by CC or PayPal so you have an out. Document in writing what you want done. Get a contact name and number of the person you are dealing with so you can always confirm and ask questions about the signing. Know who you are dealing with!
