Buried Treasure
At one time, people would stream into card shows hoping to turn their childhood collections into cash, and dealers had a ready supply of new-to-the-market material. Now with the growth of Internet and major catalog auctions, dealers can't rely on the shows to unearth solid collections like they used to. In this article, PSA President Joe Orlando looks at the current state of "treasure hunting" in the hobby. Click here to read more.

Question: Do you think the A-Rod/Yankee signing will change the way his collectibles are perceived?

Answer: There is no question about it. When a player becomes part of a legendary organization like the New York Yankees, the demand for that player's collectibles soars. If you look through history, players who have been part of teams like the Yankees, Brooklyn Dodgers, L.A. Lakers, etc. have always enjoyed more fanfare. Now that A-Rod is part of the Yankees, look out. The only thing missing from his track record was major team affiliation/success. This could have a great effect on demand -- now we will have to see how he plays.
