PSA puts MK on a label for marks. Their standard counts writing, ink, pencil, even just the impression left from writing. That last one sneaks up on people, so we tilt the back under a lamp before we send anything in.

Back to the Vikes. You like that! Minnesota sent a 2027 3rd to Vegas and Cousins is a Viking again, pending the physical. We've got his Illusions Pink /399 in the collection.

Hoops pre-orders open at noon ET today on Topps. The chase this year might be Hoops Signs. It's back with that retro fluorescent look, and everything teased so far is hard-signed. Rookie autos are on-card too, per Checklist Insider. checklistinsider.com/2026-27…

Bills 23, Vikings 6. Buffalo's 7-1. Josh Allen and James Cook both went past 5,000 career rushing yards last night. Per the Bills, they're the 4th and 5th in team history to get there. A QB on that list is wild. Cook carried it 31 times. We've got him on a 2026 Heritage Rushing Leaders card in our collection 🏈

Bat won. Sal Stewart is NL Rookie of the Year, 20 of 30 first-place votes. 32 homers, 112 RBI, all 162 games. AL wasn't close. Kevin McGonigle took 28 of 30 firsts for Detroit. Both have 2026 Topps Update cards in our collection ⚾

Bills at Vikings tonight, 8:15 ET on ESPN and ABC. Both 6-1. Vikings are putting Adrian Peterson in their Ring of Honor tonight too. There's a 2007 Contenders AP rookie in our collection, so yeah, we'll be watching 🏈

Rookie of the Year gets announced tonight, 7 ET on MLB Network. NL's the fun one. Sal Stewart drove in 112 with 32 homers. JJ Wetherholt, MLB.com calls him arguably the best infield defender in the majors. Bat or glove?

PSA's 10 allows about 55/45 centering on the front. The back gets way more room, 75/25. So a back that's a little off isn't always the killer. Front's where we look first. Just how we do it.

Beam Team's in 2026 Stadium Club Football, and Topps calls it an SSP insert. The early checklist has rookies Jeremiyah Love and Caleb Downs in it 👀 Pre-orders go live on Topps at noon ET today. topps.com/pages/topps-stadiu…

Shedeur's first start of the year: 297 yards, 2 TDs, no picks. Browns still lost in OT, 23-22 at New Orleans. Two rookies, Boston and Concepcion, both had 60-yard catches. CBS says no rookie pair had done that in the same game in 35 years. Got a 2025 Mosaic Shedeur in our collection. Fun fourth quarter to watch 🏈

Caleb to Rome. 9-yard TD on Sunday Night. First receiving score of 2026 for Odunze. We’ve got both in the collection — Odunze Portals Green PSA 10 and Caleb Optic Preview BGS 9.5.

We're away through 11/13. Shipping resumes 11/15. Appreciate the patience while we're out 👊

Boozer and Peterson are names Topps is leading with for 2026-27 Hoops. Pre-orders open Tuesday, 11/10, at noon ET. That's the pre-order date, not the day boxes arrive. topps.com/pages/topps-hoops-…

Tom Brady's in Legends of the Lens Autographs on the Stadium Club Football checklist. Joe Montana's listed there too. Topps pre-orders open tomorrow, 11/9, at noon ET. topps.com/pages/topps-stadiu…

Toronto Expo folks: PSA's Sunday deadline for same-day autograph service is 1 PM ET. That's autograph authentication, not a promise of same-day card grading. Capacity's limited. psacard.com/articles/article…

Crow-Armstrong and Bellinger won their first Platinum Gloves Friday night. It honors each league’s best defender among Gold Glove winners: PCA in the NL, Bellinger in the AL. There's a 2024 Topps Crow-Armstrong in our collection, so this one felt close to home 🧤

Packers at Patriots Sunday, 4:25 ET at Gillette on Fox. Back to normal hours after that early Madrid kick 🏈

Wembanyama's latest Topps NOW window closes today. Card 62. Topps has auto-relics and short prints in the look-for list. Been up since Nov 5. If you've been on the fence, today's the day ⏰ topps.com/products/victor-we…

PSA's backlog tracker is at 6.8M now. Down from 7.2M last update. They're still putting older orders ahead of the new Value stuff. Makes sense. Value Bulk's still paused though, so we're waiting on that one 📬

From our collection this Saturday ⚾ 1989 Upper Deck Griffey Jr. #1. BGS 9.5 Gem Mint. The one that started a lot of us. Still the card I pull out when somebody asks why we bother with slabs.
