Is it time to crack it out and submit it again—or is this exactly why sports card grading needs AI? On this episode of the Collector Investor Podcast, Chris, Jeremy and the crew break down the Babe Ruth card, compare it to other PSA-graded examples, and debate what Chris should do next. The conversation then turns to the bigger question: Could AI grading finally bring more consistency to the sports card hobby? We also tackle a bunch of viewer questions, including whether PSA will remain the dominant grading company, whether population control exists, TAG and other grading companies, vintage Panini World Cup stickers, grading 1970s baseball sets, the difference between inserts and parallels, and whether discounted card sales should actually count as comps. Plus, we talk about our favorite players to collect from the 1990s and preview our trip to the Philly Show! 👇 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: What grade would YOU give the Babe Ruth? Would you crack it and resubmit it? And do you think AI will eventually become the standard for sports card grading?
