Editor's Note

Another month in the hobby, another all-time high worth highlighting. It’s a milestone I’m especially thrilled to share, as it comes not from a recent sale but from an evolving service that now enables collectors to better manage their collection and pursue their passion.

It’s hard to believe we launched the Collectors Vault nearly a year ago in July of 2022. It was an especially exciting time as PSA was gearing up for a banner weekend at The National and the usual excitement for rare card encounters was climbing by the day.

As the show approached, the Collectors Vault made landfall with little marketing and a simple mechanism: a "Send to the Vault" shipping option for PSA submissions in the PSA Online Submission Center. Now, as the rush of our industry’s main event turns the corner once more, I can share with great pride that the Collectors Vault has officially surpassed 100,000 collectibles currently vaulted, with approximately 100,000 more on their way once they finish grading.

It’s a testament not just to the visionary team here at Collectors and PSA, but to a community of collectors who provided feedback and direction in wanting a new agnostic platform that allowed them to vault, manage and transact with their collectibles in the cloud. Since

January of this year, new PSA submissions have enjoyed a direct line to liquidity by way of Marketplace and Weekly Auction listings on Goldin.

After all, inactivity is hardly a trait of the collector gene. Buying and selling, wheeling and dealing, consolidating to fund a bigger acquisition—whether the venue is a convention floor or an online listing, staying fluid and fielding offers has always been part of the fun, and I believe the growth of the Vault supports such notions.

Similar to this time a year ago, the anticipation is building for what rare sights will surface at The National in 2023. However, I’m finding this feeling transcends marquee card shows as the Collectors Vault continues to grow.

Happy collecting,

Nat Turner CEO, Collectors
