It's very surprising to me the multiple of a PSA 9 to a PSA 9 Auto 10.
Almost 10x.
We see plenty of copies signed - don't think I could justify the 10x on a card like this.
Vintage football on the rise! Nagurski PSA 7 selling on Heritage last night for $402,000.
Previous all time high was a PSA 8.5 in 2019 for $174,000. 🔥

Talk is cheap. Put your money where your mouth is.
The Debut Bounty Auction on the Cooper Flagg 1/1 is LIVE right now. 🧵
Everyone's had a number on this card. The posts, the texts, the videos. So we're doing something we've never done: let you place a real, binding bid on the Flagg 1/1 before it's consigned anywhere.
Here's the twist. If the card comes to Alt, every bid carries straight into the live auction. If it never comes, all bids expire, and no one owes anything. Zero risk to find out what it's really worth.
Bid now: alt.app.link/Q8Babgoow5b
Why are cards not worth how rare they are?
2026 Topps Chrome Update Cooper Flagg base refractors do ~$200 with a hobby pack odds of 1:4 and with 200 players on the checklist that implies 1:800 for coop.
From that you can derive "rarity value" for the rest of the checklist.
Magenta /399 just sold today for $600 19x as rare as the refractor putting the rarity value @ $3,800 (~16% true value/rarity value)
Green wave /99 just sold today for $1200 39.5x as rare as the refractor putting the rarity value @ $7,900 (~15% true value/rarity value)
Gold wave /50 jut sold today for $4000 78x as rare as the refractor putting the rarity value @ $15,600 (~26% true value/rarity value)

Super pumped to finally share what we've spent the better part of this year building!
Our mission at @onTradepost is bold, yet simple: Enable anyone, anywhere, to sell anything in 30 seconds.
For my generation, the things we buy (tickets, collectibles, electronics, designer bags, etc) aren't just purchases. They're investments. But even though we think of them as investments, there's still no fast, frictionless way to cash out or trade up, until now.
For most of my life, I've lived through this problem. Since I was ten, my primary source of income has largely been through selling stuff like tickets, sneakers, sports cards, and collectibles online.
Reselling online opened the door to everything for me. It taught me more than I ever expected, not just about cards, collectibles, sneakers, and other verticals, but about markets, finance, and technology. If you told fourth-grade me that flipping cards and sneakers would lead to all this, I would've laughed.
We're building a team of people who've lived that same journey (Yes I'm talking to you Sneaker Twitter). We're starting with things like Tickets, Cards, Collectibles, and Consumer Electronics, but can't wait to tackle the hardest problems on the way to making any real-world asset liquid in 30 seconds or less.
If that sounds like something you want to help build or be a part of, shoot me a message. Excited to share more soon. Platform launch is right around the corner!
Huge shoutout to our legendary founding team: @iamapez , @tlscipher , @parkerstevenson
