 In this Timeless Moment, Russell and Adz dive deep into a growing concern: fake Panini seals being applied to cards — and the ripple effect it's having on trust within the hobby.

Is it really "normal practice" to reseal cracked PSA slabs with Panini stickers before reselling them? We talk about transparency, collector ethics, and why this issue affects both seasoned veterans and new collectors alike.

We also touch on Veriswap, dodgy Downtowns at CollectFest, and what responsibility vendors have when things go wrong. A must-listen for anyone serious about protecting the future of card collecting.

Let’s keep this hobby honest.
