Cautionary Tale: Don't make my mistake

Cautionary Tale: Don't make my mistake

Long story short---a few days ago (against my better judgement--yes I can afford it but still ridiculously dumb) I bought a $5k neutronium pack. I said that I would keep the card no matter what, but when I did some research, I noticed that this card was worth MUCH closer to the PSA estimate (1500), and maybe even less? So I panicked and "took the 3200" offer. In retrospect, this was insanely stupid. I absolutely should have just messaged them that the card was massively overvalued by the Card Ladder Estimate. It's far too late now for me I'm sure, but in any case, if any of you Degens open a lunar or neutronium pack, RESEARCH immediately and SEND AN EMAIL immediately. I'm an absolute dumbo and lost a lot of money!

What do you think graded vintage looks like in 10 years? Personally, I think PSA will (unfortunately) reign and SGC will be looked at as gauche (unfortunately)

Also, as a fun exercise? How much do you think the following cards will be in 2036?

PSA 2 - 1952 Topps Jackie

PSA 1 - 1952 Topps Mantle

I'm just learning about this set. I graded the Cobb/Matthewson already (both PSA 1, but authentic!). Now I'm looking through the rest. Tonight I found this Addie Joss (I know it's not a variation, but its pretty rare it seems?), this Gray with no stats on back, this Hoblitzell with no "CIN" and this Moran with the random stray line of text under the stats.
