GONE FISHING ... CAUGHT THE BIG ONE
The Item: Mike Trout 2018 Topps Transcendent Collection Emerald autograph (/15)
The Price: $599 Buy-It-Now (or best offer)
Why it’s Buzz-worthy: This guy is one of the big names found in not one but two 2018 Transcendent Collection releases from Topps last year and he's the star of the VIP party that high-rollers will attend this year, too. While everything is low-volume in this ultra-high-end brand, there are a few guys who can be found more than others -- Trout, Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro Suzuki for sure as Trout is the main star in the standard version's extra inclusions, while the two Japanese stars are the only players found in the Asian edition.

PSA opens Tokyo office to take grading submissions & more

Professional Sports Authenticator has opened its doors in Japan.
The company revealed on Tuesday that it opened an office in Tokyo this month to collect submissions from collectors for slabbing, grading and authentication.PSA announced that its overseas satellite office will be led by Tony Aram, a "bilingual financial expert and collector who has lived in Tokyo for more than 40 years."
“Because the practice of authenticating and grading cards is just now gaining popularity in Japan, there is an enormous opportunity to attract new consumers and future hobbyists to the benefits of trading card grading,” he said.
Part of the move is due to the country's love of Major League Baseball and former Nippon Professional Baseball stars such as Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro Suzuki who have continued to captivate fans -- but also because of demand for grading of n0n-sports, gaming and NPB cardboard. The move also will help the language and time-zone differences that can be barriers, the company said.
