    If you're looking for alternatives, I grade with TAG for my PC. They don't have the liquidity of PSA slabs if you're looking to move them, but they use machine learning to grade and I love the look and feel of their slabs. They have two service options, TAG X and TAG S which both come with...

    This is a super long shot, but does anyone have a 2023 Topps Series 2 Golden Mirror Conner Capel #418 for sale? I haven't seen one anywhere other than one sold on eBay this week. Below is what it looks like:

    So the guy who nails a 58 yarder misses a PAT to lose the game. Not pretty, but I'll take it!
