About this listen

Breaking News Shakes the Hobby.

This special, must-listen episode of Sports Cards & A Cup of Joe dives headfirst into one of the most seismic moves the sports card industry has seen in decades: Collectors Holdings, the parent company of PSA and SGC, has officially acquired Beckett.

Joe drops everything to break down what this means in real time. Is this a turning point for BGS? A massive win for collectors holding Beckett slabs? Or the latest step toward industry consolidation that has everyone buzzing? Drawing on nearly three decades of firsthand experience, deep industry relationships, and historical context, Joe unpacks the deal, the motivations behind it, and the ripple effects it could have across grading, authentication, and the hobby as a whole.

From cautious optimism to tough questions about competition, branding, and the future of grading, this episode offers insight you won’t get from headlines alone, without spoiling where things may ultimately land.

If you care about PSA, BGS, SGC, or the future of the hobby itself, this is one episode you don’t want to miss. Tune in and be part of the conversation.
