Use code "SCI" at arenaclub.comDid Panini use Artificial Intelligence to write the backs of their new sports cards? The new Panini Signature Series basketball set features player descriptions that are so poetic and absurd that many collectors are convinced they were generated by AI. However, Panini has officially denied the claims to The Athletic, stating that a team of former sportswriters penned the copy. In this episode of Cards on the Table, we read some of the most ridiculous examples—including wild descriptions for V.J. Edgecombe, Carter Bryant, and Joan Beringer—and debate whether this "AI slop" is a disaster or exactly what the hobby needs to make card backs fun to read again.Plus, we break down Beckett Grading's massive 49% output increase in May and debate if BGS should adjust their grading scale to hand out more Pristine 10s following PSA's recent value tier shutdown. We also analyze GameStop's Q1 financial reports (showing collectibles officially overtaking video games) and discuss the sports card market impact of the massive Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals matchup!Key Topics Covered:Panini AI Controversy: Did Panini use ChatGPT to write the outrageous card backs in their new Signature Series set?

Use code "SCI" at ARENACLUB.COMA massive 10-million-card backlog has forced PSA to officially shut down all value-level submission tiers, effective immediately. Today on Cards on the Table, T-Pot, Scotty B, and Carter break down the shocking news and analyze exactly what this means for the hobby. With regular service ($79.99) now the cheapest available option, we discuss the ripple effect this will have on box prices, modern "rip and flip" strategies, and the vintage card market.Plus, we cover the rest of the week's biggest hobby news, including the record-breaking $5.11 million private sale of the Victor Wembanyama Prizm Black 1/1 (the "Black Curtain"), and the ongoing packaging issues with eBay's Authenticity Guarantee program.In this episode, we discuss:The PSA Shutdown: Analyzing the 10-million-card backlog driven by the explosive growth of TCGs (Pokémon and One Piece). We discuss whether PSA's massive expansion will actually solve the issue, how this completely neutralizes the value of the Collectors Club membership, and if alternative grading companies like Beckett, SGC, and CGC can handle the overflow.SGC's Dwindling Market Share: Why SGC’s volume is down 70% year-over-year, and what Collectors' acquisition means for the future of the "Tuxedo" slab and the vintage market.Wemby’s $5.1 Million Record: The 2023 Panini Prizm Victor Wembanyama Black 1/1 just sold privately for $5.11 million. We compare this massive sale to the Aaron Judge Superfractor Auto, debate if the NBA market is overhyped compared to baseball, and touch on the controversy surrounding the use of Kurt's Card Care prior to the card's grading.eBay Authenticity Flaws: Why are high-end raw cards arriving from the eBay Authenticity Guarantee program sliding out of their semi-rigid holders? We debate simple fixes and why the program is still a massive net positive for the hobby despite packaging flaws.How do you think PSA's shutdown of value submissions will impact the sports card market over the next 12 months?

PSA just announced massive extensions to their turnaround times, sparking fears that the grading giant might be forced to shut down its value tiers—a move that historically preceded a major card market decline in 2021. Today, we break down PSA's staggering $200 million expansion plan and ask the ultimate question: If PSA halts submissions again, will the entire sports card market crash?Alongside the PSA grading crisis, we are tackling the most polarizing topics in the hobby right now. We discuss a controversial new card show policy that completely bans the sale of retail sealed wax to combat flippers, analyze Victor Wembanyama's explosive market surge after taking Game 1 from the Thunder, and debate whether "eye appeal" grading designations actually add financial value to modern 1/1 sports cards.In this episode, we cover:The PSA Grading Crisis: Why PSA drastically shifted Value Bulk turnaround times to 140–160 business days and increased submission minimums to 50 cards. We analyze whether Collectors' massive $200 million investment (adding 800,000 sq ft. and 1,000 new jobs) will be enough to prevent a total service pause.Banning Retail Flippers: Maryland’s Feel Good Gaming Show recently banned vendors and attendees from buying and selling current retail sealed wax. We debate if this is a brilliant move to save the show experience, or if it misses the mark entirely—and whether sports card shows should adopt it.Wemby's Market Explosion: Victor Wembanyama's card market is up 85% year-over-year with nearly 1,000 sales a day. Following massive $500K+ sales for his National Treasures Logoman 1/1 and Revolution Green Kaboom 1/1, we discuss if he is officially overtaking Shohei Ohtani as the face of the modern hobby.The Modern "Eye Appeal" Debate: Does an MBA Gold eye-appeal sticker actually matter on a 1/1 modern card? We break down the $838,750 Heritage auction sale of the 2013 Bowman Chrome Aaron Judge Superfractor and discuss if the hobby is thinking about eye appeal all wrong.Dive into the data and join the conversation in the comments section with your take on PSA's new turnaround times and Wembanyama's historic market run.First time customers use promo code: SCI at ArenaClub.comShop CardsHQ Inventory Online ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqTrack card prices & your collection with Market Movers ►: https://bit.ly/marketmoversappJoin CardsHQ Breaks on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqbreaksJoin CardsHQ Shop on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqshopJoin CardsHQ Blitz on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqblitzJoin CardsHQ Hoops on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqhoopsJoin CardsHQ Poke on Whatnot ►: https://bit.ly/cardshqpokeDiscounted PSA/SGC Card Grading ►: https://bit.ly/gradingserviceDownload our Apps!SCI App (Apple) ►: https://apple.co/3riGbb5SCI App (Google) ►: https://bit.ly/SCIAPPGooglePlayFollow Us:SCI Instagram ►: https://bit.ly/SCIIGSCI Twitter ►: https://bit.ly/scitweetsSCI Facebook ►: https://bit.ly/FBSCIPageGeoff’s IG ►: https://bit.ly/itsgeoffwilsonGeoff’s YouTube ►: https://bit.ly/ytgeoffCard Crew YouTube ►: https://bit.ly/cardcrewMarket Movers YouTube ►: https://bit.ly/marketmoversyt

Today, we break down the shocking data, showing a 45% year-over-year spike in counterfeits and a staggering 407% surge in altered Pokémon cards.

His 2015 Panini Immaculate Collection Logoman RPA 1/1 just sold for $1,012,600 at Goldin, bringing his market in line with stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama. What stood out to you the most from PSA's counterfeit report, and of the top bigs in the league, where do you think Jokic’s market should truly sit? Let me know in the comments below!
