This totally makes sense. I told someone that I felt like PSA was using game stop for something bigger. When I went to gamestop, they was only offering me $1 for Kobe’s & MJ’s but when it was a low pop card I had which wouldn’t have any comps or very few they said they wasn’t interested. I think it was the manager, he said that is word for word from PSA. When I heard him say that’s directly from PSA, I knew there was something bigger involved. I figured PSA was buying certain cards for high end customers initially but if you think about it, in a way that’s what this is.

People really need to pull their heads in. These repacks and shenanigans are getting out of control. We definitely do not want government regulation because then its just down hill so fast

Dan i totally agree. I have a very addictive personality. If i had something like that in my town with baseball cards in it i would be in trouble. Another great video thank you for what you do

That machine was an absolute joke! PSA should be outraged it was made to look like a PSA machine, not a repack machine. While I expect zero regulation, machines like this will definitely effect psa’s credibility when buyers have negative experiences! You know that charizard isn’t in there! This is rigged gambling. Slot machines actually pay out! These machines will be dumping grounds for worthless slabbed cards

There is a guarantee its in the machine and yes it would be absolutely illegal for them to say there is a chance that isnt.

Always someone who f*cks up the fun for everyone else.

With respect to the tax issue with this machine, is this machine considered a gambling device or is it selling merchandise? If it's a gambling machine, the revenues would be subject to regulations and taxes promulgated by the Nevada Gaming Commission. If its selling merchandise, the sales generated by this machine would be subject to Nevada State sales tax. What are the odds that the owner of this machine is remitting tax under either of these two requirements?

It’s an interesting one and this is the kind of questions I am referring to. Lots of unwanted eyes

Not gambling. Im payong 50 bucks forba random PSA graded card. I spend 15-25 a card on my own dime. So 50 for a 10? Sure why not, i want one. Makes for a fun way to add to the collection. Plus not to mention. The machine is located in Las Vegas, the land of buying everything. So for this to show up now. The real question is why havent these re-pack companies done this sooner? Product to the people

No matter what , I personally think $50 for a GRADED repack is A LOT better than some of the repacks I've seen. Yes It might not be PSA approved , but seems very professsional.

It's funny when rich and powerful people tell you exactly what they're gonna do and lay out a plan and people just laugh and say it will never happen.

The industry at this point needs to be regulated, forget tax revenue but solely for consumer protection. Graders, Breakers, Repacks, hell even the monopolistic practices of card companies with licences. There's no self regulatory framework which would work, and at this point someone needs to control these scammers.

The hobby used to police itself in regards to scammers. They were shunned and more or less blacklisted. Now in the post covid hobby, the new people getting into it are looking at the scammers and grifters as their examples. It's nothing but a giant money grab for the majority of these people and many have no qualms scamming people too. Regulation has to come if were no longer willing to police ourselves.

It's also no different than the old fashioned vending machine. Also no different than buying a pack of cards out of a wax box at your LCS. Not sure how anyone thinks "mystery" box/packs are any different than how the hobby has always been. It's just another company selling a packaged product. And the crazy part is that the odds of the worst mystery product is still better than Topps or Panini's stiff. There's nothing to regulate, people just don't understand how this works.

It’s very different given how the products are being pushed. Online breaking is 100% gambling and is very different to going to a physical store to buy goods. Go look at my other responses on Twitter to the Patrick Ryan thread I showed in the video.

@@DanTheCardMan2 I didn't mention breaks, so not sure why you did. But I doubt that all breaks are gambling. If you and I split a case of cards in a break and I take AFC teams and you take NFC teams, are we gambling? And if so explain how, and also how doing so would be illegal. And if it's illegal, which jurisdiction does the crime take place in and who exactly would be the plaintiff? And who would be the defendant, the card dealer or those buying the teams? Also, is gambling amongst your friends illegal to begin with? See why this can't be regulated? But to the point: A PSA vending machine is no different than a pack of cards sold from a wax box. Each are just as random as the other.

You won't see government regulation yet, people on avg could absolutely care less about cards and the average persons mindset is if you want to waste money on cardboard best of luck to you. Fanatics going public might be a stronger case, but unlikely until then in my opinion.

I have explained this in other videos but it comes down to the nature of sale. Lot's of research papers out there that highlight the increased risk of online gambling vs in-person gambling. Many breakers these days run dodgy operations and do very little to protect their customers from themselves. You can they don't have that obligation but the law around licensed gambling says otherwise and online breaking is gambling imo. Happy to agree to disagree though.
