Grading

It's harder to do that, but obviously it's controlled heavily by PSA who controls 80 plus percent of the grading market.

Well,

I think too, like you mentioned, Kevin, Grading has changed so much in the past six years since you started, I'm sure, in 2020 and even in 2015 when you were just grading cards yourself.

But for me, I have so many friends that are just getting into collecting and they're pulling, you know, like $50 cards out of a pack.

And the first thing they say is, oh, my goodness, I want to grade it.

I'm not going to get distracted dealing with product.

I don't have people coming in day to day.

Grading is what I do.

A lot of fun.

So, uh, moving, moving along, uh, Grading, man, PSA has a backlog now, still in the millions.

They've whittled down a little bit, but Zach, not a ton of slowdown on, or I should say speed up on, knocking out this backlog.

They were originally saying PSA was that we were going to experience a reopening, you know, closer to September, October.

CHAPTER XXXII.

Lady Laura Kennedy's Headache Phineas went down to Laughlinter early in July, taking Watton in his way, He stayed there one night at the inn, and was introduced to sundry influential inhabitants of the borough by Mr. Grading, the ironmonger, who was known by those who knew Lawton to be a very strong supporter of the earl's interest.

Mr. Grading, and about half a dozen others of the tradesmen of the town, came to the inn and met Phineas in the parlour.

He told them he was a good, sound liberal, and a supporter of Mr. Mildmay's government, of which their neighbour the Earl was so conspicuous an ornament.

This was almost all that was said about the Earl out loud, but each individual man of Lawton then present took an opportunity during the meeting of whispering into mr finn's ear a word or two to show that he also was admitted to the secret councils of the borough that he too could see the inside of the arrangement of course we must support the earl one said never mind what you hear about a tory candidate mr finn whispered a second the earl can do what he pleases here and it seemed to phineas that it was thought by them all to be rather a fine thing to be thus held in the hand by an english nobleman phineas could not but reflect much upon this as he lay in his bed at the lawton inn The great political question on which the political world was engrossed, up in London, was the enfranchisement of Englishmen, of Englishmen down to the rank of artisans and labourers.

Every one of those Lawton tradesmen was proud of his own personal subjection to the Earl.

From Lawton he went to Laughlinter, having promised to be back in the borough for the election.

Mr. Grading would propose him, and he was to be seconded by Mr. Short-Ribs, the butcher and grazier.

thing

i mean it's all over the place and all it will probably bring us up when we get to ratings when you get to our uh grading but like Grading and grading.

Also, one of the things is like, this is an episode that has an action sequence in it, and there's no visceral fun to it whatsoever.

It's like, why are they spike clubs and are fighting on monkey bars? What's happening here? Oh, it's so

Mm, false.

Grading ruined collecting?

False.

Okay.

But I really love what I do and it really comes down to the point in life.

Like the point in my life isn't to own Bilo Acres Excavation and Grading, it's to provide a good living for my family and have my time back.

Really that's what it's about.

You know, dude, I got that confused.

Dude, I just appreciate you.
