        \n
      • \n\t\t\t\t\tJune grading activity declined, following a similar trend to June 2024. However, year-over-year momentum remains strong.
        \n\t\t\t\t\tThe decline was seen across all PSA categories and appears tied to PSA priorities and bandwidth rather than a material drop in demand.\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n
      • \n\t\t\t\t\tAfter running a vintage special in June, PSA will likely focus on its backlog and the National during July.\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n

          • \n\t\t\t\t\tSGC has been quiet on the special and show front for a few months. Many will be watching to see what plans they announce ahead of the National.\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n

            • \n\t\t\t\t\tCGC activity declined in June, following a surge in partnership-related activity in May.
              \n\t\t\t\t\tSports returned to more typical levels, while TCG activity remained strong and continues to be supported by additional partnership activity.\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n
            • \n\t\t\t\t\tCGC offered very competitive pricing for the 2024 National, particularly for on-site grading.
              \n\t\t\t\t\tWe\u2019ll see if they follow a similar playbook in 2025 or take a different direction given the strength of TCG activity so far this year.\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
