100 Episodes calls for a huge, special guest! PSA and Collectors Universe CEO, Nat Turner, joins Leighton on the 100th episode of Trading Card Therapy.

PSA is the top grading company in the hobby. When you send your cards off to be graded, chances are, you're sending them to Nat's company. Growing up, Nat was huge collector just like you and us, and continues his passion today. Sitting down with Leighton on the special 100th episode of Trading Card Therapy, Nat tell us about:

Best advice for a young entrepreneur including the importance of people skills and record keeping
Innovation of understanding the value of your cards based on the grade
INCREDIBLE collection of unopened wax packs and boxes with a goal of an unopened Topps pack of baseball, basketball, and football from EVERY YEAR!
Favorite card
Is PSA selling to Game Stop?
He sold...snakes?

Watch the 100th episode of Trading Card Therapy with Leighton and Nat Turner here:

We're happy that Nat cleared up the Game Stop rumor, but we would have loved to hear more about selling snakes... If you missed us opening the 1955 Bowman cello pack that Nat spoke about, you can see us pull a pack-fresh MICKEY MANTLE card HERE.

Travel to Us

If you can make the trip here like the son from my hometown did for this collection- we can make a deal at the office. We once met a father-son duo that drove eight hours from Virginia to meet us to sell a Michael Jordan rookie card stored in Tupperware since 1986 - great read here.

OUR BUYING PHILOSOPHY

We've run into a wide range of people and collections over the last 25 years. Although Just Collect is known for buying vintage sports cards and especially vintage baseball cards, we are also extremely interested in buying non-sports cards, too!

Every collection and every collector is different and we treat EVERY collection with the respect and attention that we show for our own collections. We understand that many have put their heart and souls into building their collections. So when you're ready to sell, we understand the feelings that you're going through and will work with you to help you reach a decision that is a WIN/WIN, because if you're not happy, we're not happy.
