Hottest trend
The Crazy Market thread exploded with debate over speculators vs. genuine collectors, headlined by @smpratte’s widely-liked observation that agreed-upon collectors quietly exiting the hobby may matter more than the growing speculator presence.
Highlighted content
- PSA’s Value tier backlog has ballooned to an unprecedented 14 million cards after a 4-million-card surge post-pause; the company projects 5–6 months to reduce it to 5 million before reopening Value submissions.
- @ArcticLapras opened a fresh discussion on cards that deserved the holo treatment but never got it — Dark Omastar, Dragonair, and holo trainers from the Neo/e-Series era were among the community’s top picks.
- The Pikachu-clone elimination poll series is rolling fast — Round 3 is already live with Togedemaru freshly eliminated, while @c0ll3ct0r made their anti-Mimikyu stance extremely clear.
- The QotD on condition-checking tools drew a consensus answer: eyeballs, angles, and good lighting — @wisewailmer’s image post said it all without a single word.
Collection updates
- @stagger12 shared a haul including 2000 Kanto and 2001 Johto Gym Badges (nearly complete), 1998 Tiger Cyclone Disk packs, WotC promo coins, and 1999 Kraft Mac & Cheese uncut material — a truly unhinged and magnificent spread.
- @Fusion dropped a Poland-flagged post with images that earned 21 likes — highest single-post like count of the day.
- @wisewailmer revealed a Pop 1 slab in the low-pop thread.
- @implode recounted a card show trade landing a PSA 9 Japanese Vending Series 1 Poliwrath — with a price that had doubled in the previous week.
This has been the Efour Digest — Reporter Psyduck signing off with a headache and absolutely no memory of how any of this happened.
