A Look into eBay's Strategic Acquisition and What It Means for Collectors Join us on Episode #109 of the Talking Shop Podcast, where we peel back the layers of the collecting world's latest buzz. This week, we’re zeroing in on eBay's rumored acquisition of Goldin Auctions—a strategic move that could redefine the landscape of online collectible auctions. We'll explore what this could mean for collectors, sellers, and the market at large. Plus, we're not leaving out the grading scene; get the latest on GemRate trends, PSA's stronghold, and the rise of CGC and SGC. In "The Opening Rip," we dive into a creative exploration of historical figures as modern collectibles, inspired by Michael's trip to Medieval Times during spring break. And, you won't want to miss our "Crazy Stat of the Week," where we compare the surprisingly affordable cost of feeding a family at The Masters vs. a day out at the World Series.
