Buyer's Guide

Practice, practice, practice, Whether you’re shooting free throws, taking slap shots or kicking field goals, practice helps improve your game. The same can be said about collecting. The greater your hobby knowledge, and the more informed you are about buying opportunities and fast-approaching auctions and shows, the better prepared you are to make good decisions when it comes time to buy your grails. The PSA Buyer’s Guide, now in its fourth edition, provides you with industry insight that can help you pursue your passion.

Every month, we showcase timely industry news surrounding the show circuit, key auction dates, and many of the most sought-after sports and non-sports items heading to auction. In this month's issue, we’ve highlighted another 25 key pieces going up for bid including our Cover Star selection from our friends at Mile High Card Company, the 1949 Bowman Satchel Paige #224 in PSA 9. Other stellar items looking for new homes include two beautiful 1955 Topps rookie cards — Roberto Clemente #164 and Sandy Koufax #123, both in PSA 9 — from REA; a 1952 Topps Jackie
