Unless you’ve been living under a rock - it’s pretty plain to see that hobbyists have been FLOURISHING during the pandemic...card investing has completely taken off in the past 12 months, the likes of which we have never seen before. I remember before the pandemic started - a Jordan RC PSA 10 was going for about $30k...that same card has hit upwards of $750k in the past 12 months.  
 
Card grading companies like PSA and GFC are 6+ months behind on orders, and even NEW card grading companies like HGA (supposedly an AI-based grading company) are limiting the numbers of orders they take on each week and are resulting to a sort of ‘lottery’ for submissions. CGC - the main comic book grading company - has recently started grading cards and they’re also becoming inundated with submissions.  
 
Even video game graders - something I once thought of as completely ludicrous - are SWIMMING in submissions. Their backlog is MONTHS long.  
 
So what’s up with sneaker grading? Being that I’m the ONLY person in the world that has built a sneaker grading platform, you’d think I might have seen some emerging interest in the idea. Nope. Nothing. Nada.  
 
I had MORE meetings with potential BIG NAME companies in my first year in business than I have in the past 4...like...WAY more. I’ve come to realization that grading is a tough one for most sneakerheads to support...why do YOU think this is the case?
