PSA SUSPENDS VALUE GRADING! 🚨 New "Aura Seeker" Date Set & The Eeveelutions are coming to China | Ep. 20 The Pokémon TCG market just hit an unprecedented supply-and-grading bottleneck, and we are unpacking the chaos! 🎙️ In Episode 20 of The Savage Poke Pod, ⁨@SavsSavageRips⁩ and ⁨@KotasCollectiblesTCG⁩ react to the massive breaking news from PSA: due to an insane demand spike, they have officially paused value tiers, extended current Collectors Club memberships, and launched a public backlog tracker. What does this mean for your modern grading submission strategies? 📉 We’re also breaking down the mind-blowing data revealing that The Pokémon Company printed 10 BILLION cards in a single year which was less than previous years. 🏢 Plus, a massive wrench just got thrown into the holiday roadmap with the official reveal of the Japanese set "Aura Seeker" releasing this November. Does a standard expansion in late Q4 mean we are losing the highly anticipated yearly High-Class Set? We look across the sea to China’s insane "Terastal Grand Gathering" set featuring exclusive Sylveon ex products, and close things out with a crucial Week 1 Review of Chaos Rising and Abyss Eye market prices.
