Is it just me or is PSA redirecting to Gamestop? Is something big happening?

I was about to post this question as well.. I can’t get onto PSA site. Goes to Gemestop.

Even a direct sub link goes to GameStop

Same for me, can’t access it

My immediate thought as someone in the software developer industry is that its insane for them to make this change without a press release DAYS in advance. So I’m leaning towards it being a mistake, for the moment. Or perhaps the PSA socials/marketing/PR team are just god awful

Is it still happening to anyone. I can access it just fine. Might be a DNS issue?

It’s back to going to PSA for me. Very strange.

Edit… Well its back to GameStop for me.. Definetly something weird going on. You can’t by accident route a site to a different site.

Unless PSA got hacked.. But then why would the hackers route it to GameStop.

/gradingstandards on google gives me PSA, I can access the main page that way. But clicking the main page on google still gives me gamestop.

Is it a coincidence?

Unfortunately, GameStop could easily afford PSA and all of Collectors Universe. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $6.4 billion at the close of GameStop’s first quarter this year.

GameStop recently purchased half a billion ($513 million) in crypto (4,710 Bitcoin). This may be related to that or future purchases of Bitcoin. However, the coincidence is suspicious. Collectors Universe was sold for $700 million in 2022. I wouldn’t be shocked of Nat Turner and other institutional investors wanted to sell the company after its enormous success these past few years.

GameStop market cap is roughly 30% of fanatics (if fanatics were publicly traded). While collectors universe and fanatics is seperate, it’s interesting to ponder the connection that PSA is taking with GameStop, and if fanatics has their eye on more takeovers. I could see a world where GameStop becomes a branch of fanatics, and collectors universe is the oil in a graded card selling machine. No one mentioned fanatics but I think there’s got to be some kind of connection. GameStop raising capital on the other hand makes me wonder what else could be happening, maybe they want to buy collectors universe and try to compete with fanatics? I personally don’t like the takeover landscape, it usually reduces the quality of the product, as the taken over business is seen as a bunch of numbers on a financials sheet, and the spirit of the business that created a healthy market fit tends be dissolved as a way to improve financials.

I had initially dismissed this thread until I saw this with the offering announced today. It seems like they are looking to purchase something. They’ve been pivoting their business for a while as they close more and more retail stores and expand online sales by buying and selling graded cards. They have seen success with graded cards and I would not be surprised to see headlines of GameStop purchasing PSA in the future.
