I just don't understand it. At the prices these cards are selling at I thought for sure they had bitcoin attached.

Between this and those NFT things have we reached peak crypto insanity?

What peak?  I stopped using the word peak a long time ago.   Collecting is all about fun and enjoyment.

Copies of the X-Force #1 comic have spiked because they contain the rookie card of Deadpool. Shaq 1992 Topps rookies have spiked. The first appearance of everything is what's hot now

The egg is red hot.  There are no silver glossy or glow in the dark of the eggs but, plan on spending a bit if you really want  a gem.  Here are a few notable sales and pending bidding.  None of these are mine, just fyi.

The PSA 10 ginter x mini crypto for sale on ebay is a beautiful card indeed.  I believe it is the only PSA 10 that has ever shown up.

There are reports that the egg card boom is manufactured, but even a man made boom can go viral.  Like doge and game stop.

see the blowout card link i posted above.

I have only 1 Egg card....had a crack down and bought 1...a Brooklyn, and it's in "processing" currently. It's been residing there for awhile now...God only knows when I'll see those cards   I hope the scramble for #213 isn't over by the time mine gets hatched.

*Will be glad to kick that chickadee to the curb, finally.

In other news, PSAs recent price increase was anticipated/leaked to many in the card space.  There was a tremendous influx of cards submitted to beat the deadline.  PSA sent out an email to subscribers saying cards are safe which suggests boxes were not cared for in usual fashion.  PSA said they sent staff to the post office to collect the overflow.

So far it is a close race between the #213 and the #83 however there does seem to be more available eggs than crypto.  
The hot item is the PSA 10

Not a bad deal at all, the cost and time to perhaps score a PSA 10 these days isn't a walk in the park.

Finally, the minis are starting to get some attention.  Long overdue.  A mini should be at least 3x the price of a base card, that mean any one under 180 is a steal.

Glad to be of service.  The good thing about buying on comc is that if the card has significant issues, they'll say in the ad.

It may be too early to see a lot of recycled cards (been to PSA, got a non-9 or 10, case cracked and sold to public).  But, when they do, we may see another price spike as buying retail will be full of hazards.

Haven't seen any super high-end cards in a while.  That is what is needed to take us to the next phase.  Will it be another red mini, a glowie, or a graded brooklyn.   It will be a fun thing to watch if it gets auctioned off.

I am not sure if we might be in a holding pattern right now

I'm sure there is hope when purchasing the raw cards that PSA will hand out some 10's.  It seems that PSA 10's are in super high demand regardless of the crypto variety #83.  I'm sure the long wait along with the costs are part of the reason for sure

+1 . PSA will be elite brand even more so.  They are trying to rebrand by saying even a  lower grade PSA is still PSA.
