With Fanatics and Blackstone Heft, CGC Cards Aims at PSA for Grading
In the world of sports card grading, the billionaire-owned PSA is ubiquitous. It's the market share leader in card grading, and in the past year, it inked high-profile partnerships with eBay and GameStop, helping the company tally more than 80 million graded items in its 34-year history. But business history shows that an industry rarely can be dominated by one participant for very long. And in sports card grading, another deep-pocketed challenger is emerging. Certified Collectibles Group, which got its start authenticating collectible coins in the late 1980s, is seeing its young sports card grading business boom. More from Fanatics, NFL Defeat Antitrust Case Over Merchandise Restrictions Fanatics Accused of Conspiring With Leagues, Unions on High Card Prices GameStop Dipping Its Toe Into Trading Card, Collectibles Market CGC Cards operates under the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) subsidiary owned by Certified Collectibles Group; CGC grades pop culture-related items. Sports card grading by CGC Cards is up 631% in the first half of 2025 compared to the year prior, with June setting a monthly record for the business with 570,000 cards graded. 'I am very confident the second half of this year will be bigger for us than the first half,' Certified Collectibles Group president Max Spiegel said on a video call. 'We're owned by Blackstone, we're well capitalized, we have the financial backing to stand behind everything we're doing.' Blackstone acquired the majority of Certified Collectibles in 2021 in a deal valuing the business at $500 million. The deal included personal investment by Fanatics founder Michael Rubin, Jay-Z's Roc Nation and five other sports and private equity figures. The purchase came just four months after Mets owner Steve Cohen, hedge fund manager Dan Sundheim and venture capitalist Nat Turner paid $853 million for PSA's parent, Collectors Universe. While Certified Collectibles Group long ago expanded beyond coins to be well-known in comic books, magazines and trading card games, sports card grading had only just started at Certified Collectibles when the Blackstone syndicate bought the company. But Certified Collectibles knew with the private equity behemoth behind it, it had a chance to take advantage of what it perceived as a weakness in PSA's business. 'The whole reason we got into this space is back when Collectors Universe was a publicly traded company they kept saying they had a backlog, a bigger and bigger backlog, boasting about this backlog,' Spiegel said. 'That's not something you should boast about. Collectors hate backlogs, dealers hate backlogs. We said, we could get into this space, build a highly scaled company that could do it faster.' In the four years since CGC Cards began grading sports cards, the business has amassed 7% market share—and it appears to be rising quickly. In June, PSA graded 1.43 million cards, up 24% from the same month in 2024, while CGC Cards placed second at 428,000, up 14%, according to data from which tracks the card grading industry. In third was SGC, which was bought by PSA's parent last year, which graded 158,000 cards, followed by Beckett, with 63,000 cards. Spiegel estimates CGC Cards probably will put its number on 4.5 million sports cards this year. 'We're a faster, more affordable option,' he said. CGC Cards' website lists pricing starting at $17 for one card valued up to $1,000, with a 30-day turnaround time; it rises to a max cost of $2,500 for the most valuable cards, with a grading turnaround time for the priciest cards of two days. PSA starts at $24.99 for the same entry-level tier for a single card, with a 45-day turnaround, and goes up to $9,999 for cards worth $250,001 to $350,000, with additional fees of $399 per $10,000 of value above that level. PSA's turnaround time for top level cards is five days, according to its website. Grading that Honus Wagner card you found in the attic will cost more than $100,000 based on the price scale. But CGC Cards says its edge is more than just price. It has its own retail strategy. Walmart stocks 'Gems of the Game,' repackaged unopened packs of sports cards with one CGC-graded card inserted, which sell out almost immediately, Spiegel said. The Fanatics connection helps too. Last September CGC Cards opened a grading service at Fanatics Collect's Oregon facility, grading on site to provide seamless flow to cards being sold on the Fanatics Collect website. 'We offer an extremely fast turnaround time… which is super compelling because you have a card you want to sell, like of an athlete having a great season, you want to sell pretty quickly,' Spiegel said. Turnaround there can be less than two days, he added. While the focus is on continuing to expand and market the sports card services CGC Cards offers, Spiegel says expanding into sports memorabilia isn't out of the question. Last year, autograph specialist James Spence Authentication was bought by Certified Collectibles. 'PSA is well established, they're going to get a significant portion of the business,' Spiegel said. 'But the market really wants a Coke and a Pepsi, they want an option to PSA. There's a long gap between us and them, but I think over time, given our ability to executive, we'll close that gap.'

HUNT Tech: SW La. startup catches the eye of the governor
Southwest Louisiana startup HUNT Tech, the makers of scent- and DEET-free insect repellent sprays and lotions, is making a name for itself across the region and around the country — and the governor of Louisiana is taking notice. Gov. Jeff Landry declared Aug. 1 HUNT Day in Louisiana, honoring the company's contributions to 'entrepreneurial innovation and rural business expansion across the state.' The winners of last year's Gator Tank business pitch competition, HUNT c o-founders Gabriel Fontenot and his brother-in-law, Burns Mulhearn, said the initial idea behind the business was to help hunters stay protected without scent. That goal was met and then some. 'Growing up in Southwest Louisiana, being an outdoorsman is a way of life. It's part of the culture,' Fontenot said. 'But you're surrounded by mosquitoes and other insects. We thought, 'What can we do? How can we get innovative in this space?' That's what started the whole journey.' Over two years, Fontenot and Mulhearn developed a repellent that won't damage the equipment used by hunters while protecting them in Sportsman's Paradise. 'It will not damage any of your gear – including plastics, metals, leather. It's not going to corrode your rifle. It's not going to damage anything you have,' Fontenot said. 'Also, you're not going to notice you have it on.' Today, HUNT Refined Repellent is offered in a growing list of retail locations — including Nichols Dry Goods and Lake Charles Tackle and will soon be on shelves in eight Stine Home & Yard locations. It also has the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency seal of approval and its endorsement of 14 hours of protection. 'It's been a long road,' Fontenot said. 'We won the competition back in October and we were anticipating launching in January but we had a long, uphill battle with the EPA and getting all of our licenses and manufacturing lined up and, more importantly, figuring out how we were going to keep a steady supply.' The company hit the ground running and began taking orders on the Fourth of July and already are sending shipments to customers in Pennsylvania and Montana. 'Our focus is building a very strong Louisiana brand,' Fontenot said. 'We're focusing very heavily on the I-10 corridor and then we'll eventually move up north, as well.' While the HUNT leadership team works out of the Henning SEED Center on the McNeese State University campus, they have been renovating a vacant Dollar General store in Elton — Fontenot's hometown — to set up a packaging and distribution facility. 'We bought the property in Elton to really invest a lot of money into the community there,' Fontenot said. 'We're a Louisiana company through and through.' Fontenot said the products are bottled in West Palm Beach, Fla. — the closest EPA-certified facility to Louisiana — and are packaged here in Southwest Louisiana. 'I think people underestimate the size and importance of this market,' Mulhearn said. 'What we started out trying to do was to help hunters but this also helps workers, families, anyone spending time outdoors. You can put it on every day and have protection all day.' Mulhearn said the repellent is made from a derivative of a black pepper plant. 'It's safer and it doesn't have the toxicity that other products have,' Mulhearn said. 'It's better all around.' Since January, the company has been developing its team and go-to-market strategy. Part of the team has included three McNeese interns — Jake Armand, Jagger Morvant and Kaden Marshall. 'From the jump I really liked the fact that this is a family owned company. Family has always been a huge part of my life,' said Armand, a business administration major. 'I really like that also from the jump they really have valued our opinions. They would ask us questions and we're involved in a lot of conversations — which I think not only helped the company but helped me learn a lot.' Armand said his internship has been hands-on with tasks such as marketing and sales. 'We got to see how hard it was to start a business in Louisiana but then we got to reap the rewards and launch the company and we're doing way better than we expected. It's only up from here.' His enthusiasm hasn't gone unnoticed. Armand, who graduates in December, was recently promoted to general manager. Morvant said his internship has given him the opportunity to dip his toe in marketing, cost accounting, package orders and sales meetings. 'It's been cool to see something from the very early beginning at a start-up level actually get going, launch products, make money,' Morvant, an accounting major, said. 'We've been able to go all across the state trying to spread the name and it's cool to see where it has gone in such a short amount of time.' Morvant said Fontenot and Mulhearn have 'put their money where their mouth is' by keeping the company local and hiring local people. 'We're right across the street from McNeese, working at the SEED Center, that's what it's there for,' Morvant said. 'It's a good opportunity for other businesses to learn and see that there are opportunities here and there's good students they can hire who are already here. You don't have to hire from out of state.' Fontenot and Mulhearn said the governor's proclamation came as a surprise to them. 'We opened the mailbox yesterday and we noticed it,' Fontenot said. 'We're not too sure how it happened, but we're thrilled to have the support of the governor and our community.' Fontenot said it's 'a powerful moment for our company and for rural innovation across Louisiana.' 'This recognition isn't just for us — it's for all the entrepreneurs and innovators in small towns doing big things,' Fontenot said.
