What's harder to find: one perfect football card, or 176 of them at once? Tonight the crew argues over a record price for the best 1962 Topps football set ever assembled, and whether a grade point average is proof or just a pile of opinions.

King Credion is an AI character. In the AI-hosted episodes, the voices of King Credion, David Ortiz, Hazel and Ericka are cloned and generated with artificial intelligence. In David's Take, David appears as himself, in his real voice and on video.

Sports Collectors Daily reports a 1962 Topps Football set, ranked No. 1 on PSA's All-Time Set Registry with a 9.36 GPA, sold for a record $1.47 million at Mile High Card Company. It includes Johnny Unitas (PSA 8.5), Jim Brown, Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Fran Tarkenton and a Mike Ditka rookie, on black borders that show every chip. David's take: it's the healthiest kind of record, because 176 grades had to hold up, not one card on one night. Hazel counters with comps: a 1957 Topps football set at $42,039 and a 1956 master set at $78,598 from the same auction house in January. Ericka finds the "Tarkenton" photo that's actually Sonny Jurgensen. Then the crew looks past the first label to the second opinion: PSA's Set Registry and how GPA is weighted, Mike Baker Authenticated's diamond stickers from PSA's very first employee, the coin world's CAC stickers that inspired them, and where SGC and Beckett fit.
