Back to EpisodesPSA Reholder to Regrade: $950K vs $132K 😬 Inside the Wilt Chamberlain Rookie Saga
Description
What up, chicken nuggets? Today we break down the wild Wilt Chamberlain 1961 Fleer rookie that went from PSA 10 to PSA 9—and the ≈$800,000 value swing that followed. We dig into PSA’s insurance/upcharge logic, the fine print on compensation caps, how to protect yourself, and my own near‑miss with a 1997 Kobe “Score Board” auto.
