What’s Next for PSA?
-
June grading activity declined, following a similar trend to June 2024. However, year-over-year momentum remains strong.
The decline was seen across all PSA categories and appears tied to PSA priorities and bandwidth rather than a material drop in demand. - After running a vintage special in June, PSA will likely focus on its backlog and the National during July.

What’s Next for CGC?
-
CGC activity declined in June, following a surge in partnership-related activity in May.
Sports returned to more typical levels, while TCG activity remained strong and continues to be supported by additional partnership activity. -
CGC offered very competitive pricing for the 2024 National, particularly for on-site grading.
We’ll see if they follow a similar playbook in 2025 or take a different direction given the strength of TCG activity so far this year.
