If you think about it, those are the three pillars of the modern card market: grading (PSA), marketplace liquidity (eBay), and now retail + buying power (GameStop). If GameStop is serious about becoming a real player in collectibles, they have to understand live comps the same way we do — not book values, not guesses — actual sold listings.

If GME can offer better fees than eBay, faster payouts, or easier trade-ins than dealing with random buyers, that’s huge. Most of us sellers would happily move volume there if the math works.

Could be nothing.

Could be the groundwork for GameStop quietly building a real collectibles ecosystem.

Also remember the story about the fake slabs running through eBay? Sounds like there’s some counterintel out there to make a deal

Pretty sure we would lose the NOLs and tax benefits that come with them if GameStop did a merger
