Why The “PSA Premium”? - Hobby Numbers Episode 6 @HighPopProfessor

Uploaded July 2024 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

In this video, I discuss three reasons as to why PSA 9s outsell SGC 9s and BGS 9s. This is a curious phenomenon to me, as “Mint 9” should equal “Mint 9”… right?? How can the same exact card in the same exact grade sell for vastly different values? Why does this happen? I seek to address this exact question in this video, perhaps bringing up new considerations to mull over.

I do not mention the set registry in this video, but that would be a valid 4th reason as well. Enjoy!

$The Hulking Experiment - Hobby Numbers: Episode 16 In this video, I showcase the cards just recently opened from my 12-pack half box rip of 94 Bowman’s Best. We take a good look at the good, the bad, and the ugly, calculating the hulking percentages of the blues, reds, and mirror images from the cards pulled. I also touch upon how the scarcity of pulling unhulked / minimally hulked refractors may factor in to true odds using the hulking percentages for each card type. Enjoy!$

$Pack Odds Analysis, Curiosities, & New Flips! In this video, I discuss pack odds curiosities, like how the 97 Finest Gold refractor is easier to pull despite having tougher odds than the 97 Finest Silver Embossed Refractor. Also, why are the Bowman’s Best Atomic refractors not exactly 4x tougher to pull when the print run is exactly 1/4 that of the regular refractors? I discuss this and more, here! I also showcase my handiwork with my new slab flips! Enjoy!$
