Read previewThe COVID pandemic was an unprecedented boom for the Pokémon card business. Few can forget the $3.5 million YouTuber-boxer Logan Paul blew on a pack of Pokémon cards that turned out to be GI Joe collectibles. He estimated that last year, PSA graded at least 6 million Pokémon trading cards out of the total 14 million it processed. It's made a lifetime total of more than 64.8 billion Pokémon cards since 1999, and production has been accelerating rapidly since the pandemic. Most customers wait a maximum of two months for their graded card, which returns with a rating between 1 and 10.
