Author Jon Finkel joins CSG's flagship podcast for a loving look at the icons of the junk wax era.Jon Finkel, author of the acclaimed sports books 1996: A Biography and Windmills and Tomahawks: Nine Chapters About Dominique Wilkins, joined Collect This! host Alan Goldsher for a two-part breakdown of their favorite athletes and cards of the 1990s.“Jon and I are both total nineties sports nerds,” said Goldsher, “so breaking down our favorite players from our favorite decade was second nature, primarily because this is the sort of discussion we have whenever we talk sports. This is why we needed two episodes to get it all in.”Goldsher continued, “We each picked ten athletes, then we discussed why they were awesome, then we talked about what we consider to be the coolest card from each. These aren't necessarily the best cards or players from the decade — just the ones who meant the most to us. The only rule was that Michael Jordan wasn't allowed, due to the obviousness factor. Oh, spoiler alert: Barry Sanders is only one of two guys who made both of our lists.”For more information about CSG, visit http://www.CSGcards.com.

Collect This! lists five players from the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs who hobbyists might want to watch…none of whom are named Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts.“Card collectors react to big games, and justifiably so. So when the Super Bowl matchup was decided, I wondered who hobbyists should train their eyes on.”So said Alan Goldsher, host of CSG's flagship podcast, Collect This! In a special episode, Goldsher trained the spotlight on five Super Bowl performers who, with a stellar performance on February 12, could amp up their card value.Goldsher focused on players who aren't currently darlings in the hobby. “We all know that Patrick Mahomes cards have fetched seven-figures, and Jalen Hurts' standing in the community has climbed throughout the season. We also know that collectors love quarterbacks way more than they do any position, but Super Bowls are the kind of events that lead to increased interest in the non-QBs of the world.”For more information about CSG, visit http://www.CSGcards.com.

But when there are multi-million-dollar sneakers on the platform with somebody like Brahm overseeing the whole thing, well, suddenly things are as funky as James Brown, something that multiple generations of collectors can appreciate."Goldsher continued, “Brahm is a lifelong collector whose love and deep knowledge of sports, sports memorabilia and sports cards should make any current or future Sotheby's customer feel good about dropping big bucks on some Kobe or LeBron kicks.” For more information about CSG, visit http://www.CSGcards.com.

His talent, his charisma and his innate goodness just drew me into the sport.”On this special episode, Alan was joined by Emmy-winning sports producer Chris Corbellini. “Chris mentioned that Pelé was one of the first athletes he fell in love with — Reggie Jackson was the other — and he was far from alone.

Card collectors dig quarterbacks. Wide receivers? They're fine – everybody loves themselves a good Jerry Rice card. Running backs are also okay – nobody's gonna turn down a Walter Payton rookie somethin' somethin'. But QB's rule over all. It's totally understandable, because quarterback is arguably the most important position not just in football, but in all of sports. Also, the signal caller is almost always the face of the franchise, so if you have the option to collect either Justin Herbert or Austin Ekeler, you're probably going with Herbert. In a unique preview of the 2022 NFL season, Alan Goldsher discusses which QBs might do stuff on the field this year that'll make them more interesting  to collectors, who might do stuff on the field that doesn't move the needle, and who might do stuff that'll be, y'know, bad. Kickoff is here, and the quarterback rooms are humming, which means it's time…to collect this. For more information about CSG, visit http://www.CSGcards.com (http://www.CSGcards.com).
