PSA SUSPENDS VALUE GRADING! 🚨 New "Aura Seeker" Date Set & The Eeveelutions are coming to China | Ep. 20 The Pokémon TCG market just hit an unprecedented supply-and-grading bottleneck, and we are unpacking the chaos! 🎙️ In Episode 20 of The Savage Poke Pod, ⁨@SavsSavageRips⁩ and ⁨@KotasCollectiblesTCG⁩ react to the massive breaking news from PSA: due to an insane demand spike, they have officially paused value tiers, extended current Collectors Club memberships, and launched a public backlog tracker.
