Does anyone else remember the group that started grading trading cards, video game cartridges, and the like at the start of the pandemic? I'm struggling to find the article, I believe it was by vox, about how 3 men from the former online sports betting industry/NFTs/crypto started a company to value goods and then one sold another a copy of super mario brothers for over $1 million in order to create a fervor around game valuation (it was around may/june of last year). Ever since then I'm always vary of these incredibly high prices for "graded" products.

I don't remember any particular article about it, since there have been many over the years. But I do remember the YouTube video by Karl Jobst which was the source of the investigation, and that RLM also referenced in their video. It is well worth watching too, IMO.
I never stopped watching them, since I love their Best of the Worst series. And they're still going after all these years, and still making great content, IMO. This is a different sort of video...
I never stopped watching them, since I love their Best of the Worst series. And they're still going after all these years, and still making great content, IMO. This is a different sort of video from what they typically do though. They don't normally do documentary style stuff, but now I hope they do more in the future.
Current bid for the Nukie tape is over $75,000USD, with a bit less than 6 days left.

Hey I used to watch RLM all the time, especially when I was in high school. Good times.

I wonder what the bids are in the other tapes they had grades?
Did they actually put the others up for auction? I thought they only did that for Nukie.
