I’ve posted this one before, but it is my favorite card in my collection. l like seeing it in my display case, but I’m starting to wonder if I should store it in my fireproof safe. #cardsky Do you guys store them in a safe when they hit a certain value?

PSA 10 grading standards change: Until recently, a PSA 10 could have 60/40 front centering (Ex 1). They have just removed 60/40 from PSA 10 qualification stating that card front centering must be at least 55/45 (Ex 2). /1. #cardsky

Facebook Marketplace shenanigans: FAKE. This 1911 T205 Ty Cobb card is listed for sale for $250. Known fakes have the word "Tigers" cut off and there should be a thin black border between the green and the gold--which is missing in the fake card. (Left = Fake) (Right = Authenticated by SGC) /1

When you’re at a card show don’t sleep on these traded sets. Picked up the traded set for $200 and sent the Cal Ripken Jr. for grading and it came back a PSA 9. #cardsky
