First, my sincere apologies for the sound quality this week. It was an in-person interview and I haven't been able to arrange a pair of clip-on microphones yet. Hopefully in six months or so, when my budget improves I'll be able to purchase the ones I want but they aren't cheap! I swear it didn't sound that bad in editing but I just listened to it on Spotify and was not happy. I remember Dave from 'The Shallow End' imploring content creators to invest in a microphone. I am using an OK one for the online interviews but after this I feel it's crucial to invest in some clip-on microphones for in-person interviews in the future. Thanks Dave! Just know I'm working on it.

In the meantime, I just recorded another in-person interview and to make sure sound quality was as good as I could get, we recorded it in my car! Quite unique. The sound is much better for that one! No echo that sounds like we're talking in the bathroom!

In recent days, the soccer card hobby has been roiled by questions regarding new large finds of 2000-2014 stickers in Europe, which has increasing pop reports and, more curiously, gem rates on a couple items that have not graded well historically. Is it fair to ask questions about the authenticity of these finds, as one YouTube channel has, or should we expect more, new large finds in the future? Does PSA need to improve its business model to create more certainty about the market? We ask the person at the center of this storm for his perspective.
